LOTZE ON THE UNION OF SOUL AND BODY. 181 



14. The extended world of phenomena is not 

 distinct from the domain of the absolute or the 

 spiritual world, whence the soul comes, but is pene- 

 trated everywhere by it. 



15. " That condition of the natural course of 

 things in which the germ of a physiological organism 

 is developed, is," says Lotze, " a condition which 

 determines the substantial reason of the world to 

 the production of a certain soul, in the same way that 

 an organic impression determines our soul to the pro- 

 duction of a certain sensation" 



(LoTZE, Medicinische Psychologic. See the trans- 

 lation of this work into French by M. Penjon, from 

 a text so far revised and augmented by Lotze as to 

 make the French better than the German edition as 

 a final expression of Lotze's views. See also articles 

 by Mr. BIXBY in " The Unitarian Review " for Feb- 

 ruary and March, 1877, with summaries, a part of 

 the language of which, under a new arrangement, 

 has been employed in this analysis. For other simi- 

 lar statements, see UBEKWEG, History of Philosophy, 

 vol. ii. 312-341 ; and ERDMANN, Grundriss der G-e- 

 schichte der Philosophic, vol. ii. chap. 347, 1113.) 



Suppose that we have here [making use of the 

 blackboard] two differently arranged sets of parti- 

 cles of matter. The union between one of these 

 masses and the others occur at this middle line. If 

 we jar the particles on the left of that line, and the 

 motion of the atoms crosses the line, the motion will 

 not be the same on the right as on the left. Why 

 not ? Because the particles are not arranged there
