Abstract
MODERN science supplies an abundance of material, such as the philosophers of the past could not have dreamed of, for the psycho-logist and the metaphysician to explore when the man of science has worked through it. This material is also remarkably prolific in suggesting new lines of philosophic thought, as the work of William James and Henri Bergson, for instance, has shown. It is significant, however, that the psychologist, in his search for the links that bind subject to object, and mind to nerve, and the metaphysician, in his attempts to solve the problems of reality, must still be either Platonist or Aristotelian—a necessary consequence this of the orthogenesis, so to say, of the human mind.
