Excerpt from Transactions of the Royal Society of Literature of the United Kingdom, Vol. 20: Second Series To the connection between mind and body, and to their mutual relations and interactions, in order to establish the contention that the temperament is as much the outcome of the physical as Of the psychical elements of man's nature. The materialist regards the mind as a force developed by the action Of the brain. The Spiritualist believes the mind to be a separate entity which uses the brain as an instrument For over two thousand years men have indulged in speculations as to the nature Of the association Of the mind and the body, and the pendulum of Opinion has swung backwards and forwards between the extreme views Of the materialist and the immateri alist, without either combatant convincing the other or arriving at any satisfactory and conclusive proof Of their respective propositions. Scientific men Of the present century have realised the fruitlessness of those speculations, and have decided to contract the inquiry within the limits Of actual experience. We have no experience Of mind apart from the body, and no fact is more conclusively established than the constant and intimate association Of brain action with mental experiences. We can make use Of this fact without regard to the question Of causation in either direction. We know assuredly that every idea, every feeling and emotion, every modification of consciousness, and also those subconscious mental processes insisted upon by Leibnitz, are all invariably accompanied by change and movement in the physical organ. The conclusion Of modern science is to regard this constant and precise between neurosis and psychosis as.
