instinct.” 
Dr. Meynert makes the following reference to the nature and 
value of our cognitions (p. 183): “ I wish to add that it is the 
boldest hypothesis, shared alike by the ordinary mind and by

simply reflects the forms of the outer world; that the world as it 
it is not to be inferred that we therefore apprehend nothing.
