Abstract
THE author examines the Weber-Fechner law of sensation and shows that “unperceived sense-data,” such as are sometimes deduced from it, are not logically admissible. He expresses spiritual; pluralism as the assumption that our sense-perceptions are due to other “subjects of experience” of a non-material nature, and akin to our own subjective self. Guided by this principle, he discusses determinism and immortality, the relation of mind and body, and certain abnormal phenomena usually called “spiritualistic.”
