Those who survive as representatives of that same school may do so, but they are literally survivals.

The mass of psychologists of to-day admit that the manifestations of mind cannot any longer be regarded as the results of vibrations in the physical brain, that at least we must go beyond these limitations when dealing with the results of the study of consciousness, as it is now studied amongst scientific men.

They will no longer, then, regard thought as the product of matter.

They certainly will not be prepared to go as far as I now propose to go, and say that the thinking organism is the production of thought--the very antithesis, you will agree, of the other position, but which is vital to the understanding of the unfolding of the powers of consciousness through matter.

It is recognised in ordinary biology that the function appears before the organ.
