CHAPTER IX IS CONSCIOUSNESS ALIEN TO THE PHYSICAL IT IS beyond question the common belief to-day that the physical world is alien to consciousness. Scientists take this alienness for granted as a position essentially self-evident and not likely to be disputed by anyone who has clear ideas on the subject; philosophers in the main agree with the scientists, although they are apt to qualify their agreement with the assertion that the physical world is merely phenomenal. By this qualification, they leave open a way of escape from the dualism which the admission of the alienness of consciousness to the physical implies. Thus it is assumed that nature, so long as it is regarded as physical, is void of sentiency and can, under no conditions, develop it. In this belief is founded the mindbody dualism which has been such a thorn in the side of naturalism and which has caused so much discomfort to psychology and to physiology. Mind and matter are looked upon as incompatibles, severely distinct from each other and unable to flow together and form one plastic reality. Consciousness is, as it were, homeless in a universe from which 1 it is inseparable. Such is the view that has slowly formulated itself under the pressure of various motives, chief among which is the conception of nature urged by mechanical rationalism. But this dualism, which seems so natural to the thinker of the present, did not always exist. Nature did not seem from the first so thin, transparent, and alien. It took the Greeks some time and effort to realize the difference between causal activity and sense-perception. This fact means that for them sense-perception was immersed in the general activities of nature. Empedocles, in his doctrine of like perceived by like, made. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN.<
