This is Volume IX of ten of collection of works on Physiological Psychology. The ideal of science is the highest possible degree of unification, and it undoubtedly aims at the correlation of psychological facts with physiological mechanics, neglecting the subjective aspect of consciousness. This effort to attain unity, which, according to the profound views of Emile Meyerson, responds to the fundamental craving after unity inherent in the human mind, has an undeniable value in research. Initially published in 1927, this book, looks at neuro-mental functioning, receptive and incito-motor functions, verbal function and thought, and the affective regulation of mental life.
