ufts, _Phil. Rev._, Vol. VI, which deserves to rank as one of the early documents of the "experimental" movement. [14] Cf. "The Definition of the Psychical," G. H. Mead, _Decennial Publications of the University of Chicago_. [15] Cf. _The Logic of Hegel-Wallace_, p. 117. [16] _Bosanquet's Logic_, 2nd Ed., p. 171. The identification of induction and procedure by hypothesis occurs on p. 156. [17] _Ibid._, p. 14 (italics mine). [18] Perhaps the most complete exhibition of the breakdown of formal logic considered as an account of the operation of thought apart from its subject-matter is to be found in Schiller's _Formal Logic_. [19] Cf. Stuart on "Valuation as a Logical Process" in _Studies in Logical Theory_. [20] _The New Realism_, pp. 40-41. [21] Cf. Montague, pp. 256-57; also Russell, _The Problems of_ _Philosophy_, pp. 27-65-66, _et passim_; and Holt's _Concept of Consciousness_, pp. 14ff., discussed below. [22] Cf. Angell, "Relations of Psychology to Philosophy," _Decennial Publications of University of Chicago_, Vol. III; also Castro, "The Respective Standpoints of Psychology and Logic," _Philosophic Studies, University of Chicago_, No. 4. [23] I am here following, in the main, Professor Holt because he alone appears to have had the courage to develop the full consequences of the premises of analytic logic. [24] _The Concept of Consciousness_, pp. 14-15. [25] It is interesting to compare this onlooking act with the account of consciousness further on. As "psychological" this act of onlooking must be an act of consciousness. But consciousness is a cross-section or a projection of things made by their interaction with a nervous system. Here consciousness is a function of all the interacting factors. It is in the play. It _is_ the play. It is not in a spectator's box. How can consciousness be a function of all the things put into the cross-section and yet be a mere beholder of the process? Moreover, what is it that makes any particular, spectacle, or cross-section "logical"? If it be said all are "logical" what significance has the term? [26] Cf. Russell's _Scientific Methods in Philosophy_, p. 59. [27] Holt, _op. cit._, pp. 128-30. [28] In fact, Newton, in all probability, had the Cartesian pure notions in mind. [29] Holt, _op. cit._, p. 118 (italics mine). Cf. also Perry's _Present Philosophical Tendencies_, pp. 108 and 311. [30] The character of elements and the nature of simpli
