245 through the will the mind from the action of im- pressions upon the senses. It inhibits direct sense- perception, and confines itself to the analyzing and combining of past sense-perceptions recalled by the memory. But the action of the will upon the intel- lect is most manifest in that order of knowing to which we have above given the name " insight." The in- hibition of the lower and relatively passive orders of knowing by the will is here most complete and thoroughgoing, for the will dro...ps the entire field of experience, together with its data of sense-perceptions, out of sight, and commences from the other extreme of the orders of being. It inquires what must be the nature of a whole or total, and finds the cate- gories of independence and self-activity. It uses these, and applies them to the contents of experience as ultimate explanations. Our division here, whether into three, four, five, or six steps, is somewhat arbitrary. Three is, on the whole, most convenient, and is used in Chapter IV.
