Abstract

(1) IN “The Game of Mind” Mr. Campbell puts the question: “To what extent does the mere reiteration, by the possessor of a toothache, of the complaint that he is indeed feeling pain, influence or constitute that pain? In other words, If the victim were so organised that he need not perforce tell himself each instant that he is being hurt, would the hurt exist as such at all?” And Mr. Campbell replies: “We are convinced that it would not.” Mr. Campbell, of course, discusses many other questions; but his method of argument displays the same degree of cogency throughout.
