Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from Instinct and Experience

But what does this imply? It implies that the fully explicit logic of human reason is but a higher development of the scarcely explicit logic of perceptual intelligence and that this in turn has its roots deeply embedded in the implicit logic of instinct which, as I define it, is organic behaviour suffused with awareness.

Excerpt from Instinct and Experience

In the summer of 1910 a symposium on the subject of Instinct and Intelligence was held in London at a joint meeting of the Aristotelian and British Psychological Societies and of the Mind Association. Considerable interest in the discussion was shown both in the room in which we met and beyond its walls. The papers then taken as read, and subsequently published in the "British Journal of Psychology," disclose not a little divergence in the sense in which the terms instinctive and intelligent are used, an underlying divergence in the principles on which the proffered interpretations are based, and indications, more or less clear, of yet deeper-seated differences of philosophical foundation.

The questions at issue seem to open out live problems, and problems of wide range. Being under promise to write a short work on some aspect of genetic psychology I thought I might do some service by expanding my own contribution to the symposium, by bringing it into relation with the views expressed by other contributors, by following up the subject in further detail, and especially by giving something like definite form to the doctrine of experience, which has, of late years, been taking shape in my mind, under influences too numerous to admit of detailed citation.
