Summary: Of the three theories advanced to account for differences in material objects -- vitalism, the theory of emergence, and mechanism -- the emergence theory is the most satisfactory: new wholes are formed in nature the behavior of w could never have been predicted from knowledge of the parts. The mind-body problem (What are the relations between body and mind?) has been made difficult by confusion concerning the meanings of "mind" and "body"; but the solution probably is that mind affects body, and body affects mind. There must he a center of consciousness which is more than a mere ordering of sense data, but this center may be nothing more than a mass of bodily feelings. Memory traces are neither purely mental nor purely physiological; they are psychic factors.
