PRICE: 12s. 6d. net PUBLISHED BY THE CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS THE NEURAL SUB-STRATA AN OUTLINED INTEGRATION OF THE PSYCHOLOGICAL AND NEURAL ELEMENTS BY GEORGE G. CAMPION1. ANY attempt to unravel the workings of the neural sub-strata of reflective thought involves the presupposition that we possess some coherent view of the phenomena presented to us by reflective thought itself, and also that this view, whatever it may be, is one which is congruous with the workings of the neural processes with which it is proposed to try and establish for it a definite relationship; and further, any coherent view of the nature of reflective thought involves the whole question of epistemology and lies within the ambit of metaphysics. The psycho-neural problem has thus a twofold aspect, the metaphysical and the neural, and to attempt any solution of the problem from one side only would be something like trying to explain the normal ontogenetic development of any living being by the study of structure or function alone apart from their reactions on one another. Huxley said forty-six years ago that the psycho-neural problem was "the metaphysical problem of problems 2" Wm. James more than thirty years ago stated that its solution when it came would come in terms of metaphysics and Sir Charles Sherrington said in his Address to the British Association three years ago that "it is to the psychologist that we must turn to learn in full the contribution made to the integration of the animal individual by mind4," and that "the how of the mind's connection with its bodily place seems still utterly enigma 5." 1 This paper was written under the belief that it was to be a joint contribution with Professor Stopford, with whom the neurological part of the argument was slowly matured over a period of many months, but on its completion Professor Stopford thought that his contribution was insufficient to justify his name appearing as a joint author and the writer felt reluctantly obliged to acquiesce in its withdrawal. He desires to express his appreciation of the inexpressible value to him of the help thus given and his sincerest thanks for it. has been left in its original form and in its general tenour expresses the views The paper of both.
