Instinct and Intuition: a Study in Mental Duality

Abstract

Mr. Dibblee was led into researches into the nature of intelligence, instinct, and intuition by his previous work on the “Psychology of Supply and Demand and of Economic Value” His conviction that demand is dependent upon value, and that value is determined by “plain human unreasoning instinct” rather than by intelligent judgments, made him desire to understand more about the psychological process underlying human reasoning and what he calls extra consciousness, as well as about its physiological basis.
