Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Essay on the Physiology of Mind: An Interpretation Based on Biological, Morphological, Physical and Chemical Considerations In this essay the writer has endeavored to present the basic facts of those reactions of the organism to the environment which under given conditions manifest the qualities which we speak of as "mind." As far as possible elemental truths have been sought in a consideration of the structure of the constituent substance of the organism, the living protoplasm. The physical peculiarities of the latter, its ceaseless chemical change, its simultaneous up-building and reduction, its reactions and its lack of reactions to the incident forces of the physical world, have, in turn, been called to the attention of the reader. Secondly, the behavior of simple unicellular forms of life has been compared with and in a measure correlated with the behavior of the individual cells of multi-cellular forms. In due course, also, have been considered those peculiarities of structure of the living protoplasm which cause the arrest of certain, a very limited number, of the incident forces of the environment; protoplasm as a whole is "transparent" to and remains totally unaffected by an infinitude of forces active in the universe.
