conversely, if we follow common-sense in admitting the effective 

 reality of both primary and secondary qualities, there will be 

 no temptation to treat consciousness as anything other than 

 special relation between an organism and its environment. 

 Realism and the relational view of consciousness are strictly 

 correlative. They are different aspects of the same truth, and 

 cannot be defended or understood apart from one another. 



Dr. Judd stated that Wundt's critical realism is closely 

 related in its fundamental positions to James's recent philo- 

 sophical discussions. Reality and immediate experience are 

 made synonymous by Wundt. The concept of consciousness 

 is not like the concept matter of the physical sciences, but 

 includes only the immediate processes of experience in their 

 totality. On the basis of these closely related fundamentals 

 Wundt develops the details of his system in such a way as to 

 emphasize the distinctions between physical and psychical 

 phenomena, while James strives to minimize these distinctions.
