Abstract
NOTHING has done more to place on a scientific footing the discussion of the phenomena which the study of matter and energy presents to the eye of reason, than the establishmeut of a doctrine of quantitative equivalence. So much oxygen and hydrogen, so much water; this amount of energy of chemical separation gone, that amount of sensible heat gained. In a similar way, nothing is likely to do more to give support to the hypothesis that sentience or consciousness is a concomitant of certain physiological processes than the establishment of a quantitative relation between stimulus and sensation.
