To such extremes of vapid, anti-natural conception has philosophical thought been driven by relying exclusively in its reasoning on immediately given but utterly forceless and evanescent conscious data; re- gardless of their sane, common-sense implications, and their substantial biological foundation. VIII. BIOLOGICAL FACTS UNDERLYING PHILOSOPHICAL PROBLEMS To give an intelligible account how the present writer has arrived at the biologico-philosophical views expressed in this treatise, a brief... summary of the steps which have led to them may perhaps be par- doned. More than forty years ago, while acting as pathologist at St. Thomas's Hospital in London, ex- amining microscopically numerous cancerous tumors and other morbid growths, I became convinced of the fallacy of the cell-theory. Moreover, pus- corpuscles, believed at that time to be cells in the act of proliferation on account of their seemingly dividing nuclei, I found to be a product of decay and not of growth. In experimenting with the remark- able formative substance known as myeline I suc- ceeded in artificially imitating most forms of cells and nuclei, and with the help of other observations I showed that cell-like bodies may form in great num- bers without being derived from an original mother- cell.
