But even when we reject the theory of conscious au- tomatism as only a vague and ill-disguised form of ma- terialism, the manifold absurdities of which are now coming to be universally recognised, there remains a posi- tion hardly less extravagant to be considered. I refer to what is known as the theory of psychophysical parallelism. In one possible sense of the words such parallelism is a fact beyond all question: in so far, namely, as there is the closest and most intimate correspondence betw...een mind processes and brain processes, between psycJwses and neuroses, as we say nowadays. But correspondence does not necessarily exclude reciprocal action; and both biology and psychology proceed entirely on the assumption that such mutual interaction is regular and continuous. Nor is there a single known fact at variance with this assumption ; whilst without it the vital distinction of sensory impression and motor response becomes meaningless for psychology, and all intelligible connexion between life and mind is gone.
