 They all represent that phase of modern thought in 

 the West in which the effort is being made to separate 

 the psychology of the individual integration from the 

 psychology of the social integration, this last merg- 

 ing in the universal and the infinite. 1 It is with the 

 laws of the integration of the individual efficient in 

 the struggle for his own interests that nearly all the 

 scientific textbooks of the West have hitherto been 

 filled. From physiology to ethics, from economics 

 and political science to psychology, this is so. All 

 this system of knowledge is passing to the rubbish-heap 

 of time as the science of civilization. 



It is in the social integration that man must reach 

 his highest efficiency. The laws of the social inte- 

 gration are psychic in character, and they must in 

 the nature of things control the evolution of the 

 human mind and all its contents. The laws of 

 social emotion, as Dr. A. Sutherland 2 was the 

 first clearly to indicate, have a different physi- 

 cal basis in the human organism from the laws 

 of mind which express themselves in Reason. 

 The cause of human progress is psychic emotion.

 of periodicals like Mind and the Hibbert Journal for a considerable 

 period.
