Excerpt from Problems of Life and Mind

In every science we define the object and scope of the search, the motive of the search, and the means whereby the aim may be reached. The purpose of the following pages is to set forth what it is we study in Psychology, why we study it, and how we ought to study it.

A glance at the literature of the subject discloses the utmost discordance of these cardinal points. The conceptions of the object and scope are different, and lead to the adoption of antagonistic methods. On the one side stands the ancient metempirical conception of the so-called Rational Psychology, with its deductive method of ontological research. Its adherents, even when condescending to what they call Empirical Psychology, so little regard the data of Experience, that they quietly ignore the complex conditions of the living organism, and treat mental facts simply as the manifestations of a Psychical Principle, at once unknowable and intimately known, a mysterious agent revealed to Consciousness.
