Implications of the Theories of Nerve Action 213 



leads to the somewhat unexpected though entirely natural 

 result which may be summarily stated thus: To gain un- 

 derstanding of the behavior of living beings is admitted by 

 everybody to be the chief reason for investigating such ac- 

 tivities. Due consideration of the nature of the activities 

 and of the nature of understanding makes it certain that the 

 phenomena themselves are highly integrative and integrated, 

 or synthetic, and that understanding of them depends as 

 much on synthetic knowledge-getting as on analytic knowl- 

 edge-getting. Perception of this last truth necessitates, 

 again, a sort of synthesis, or integration, of the numerous 

 research agencies.
