29. De Partibus Animalium, I. 5- (645 a.) ; says Henri 

 Poincar6: "We seek reality, but what is reality? The 

 physiologists tell us that organisms are formed of cells; 

 the chemists add that cells themselves are formed of atoms. 

 Does this mean that these atoms or these cells constitute 

 reality, or rather the sole reality? The way in which 

 these cells are arranged, and from which results the unity 

 of the individual, is not it also a reality much more in- 

 teresting than that of the isolated elements . . . ? " Again: 

 "... it is in the relations alone that objectivity must be 

 sought; it would be vain to seek it in beings considered 

 as isolated from one another." Foundations of Science, 

 (i9i3),p. 217 and p. 350.
