11. The mind itself may produce in the sphere of 

 consciousness, ideas, sentiments, emotions, and imagina- 

 tions. For the manifestation of mental phenomena it is 

 doubtless important to have continuously healthy nerve- 

 structure and other bodily organs, since the most ac 

 complished artisan cannot exhibit his full powers with 

 imperfect tools and materials ; yet as the injury or de- 

 struction of the implement is no proof of the annihilation 

 of the artisan, so the injury or even destruction of the 

 body may not affect the soul. The mind is popularly 

 supposed to be dependent on the brain, yet medical 

 authorities show that every portion of the brain has 

 been, in one instance or another, destroyed or disorgan- 

 ized without affecting what are supposed to be the cor- 

 responding intellectual powers. Abercrombie tells of a 

 lady in whom one half the brain was disorganized, but 

 who retained all her faculties to the last, and many such 

 instances are 'on record. There is no constant relation 

 between the integrity of mind and body. The mind may 

 suffer intense agony while the body is in perfect health, 

 or remain in calm serenity while the body is tortured or 

 is losing its vital powers. 



12. Ideas, in a general sense, refer to any thing present 

 to the mind as an object of thought, whether present 

 really or representatively. Some ideas are related to 

 experience, as the principles of mathematics, notions of 

 figure, extension, number, time, and space. Others are 

 independent of sensible representation, as the ideas of 

 good and evil, just and unjust, true and false.
