as the source of life and mind. They can only conclude that she has undergone a psychological change which affects her knowledge of her former positions. We have seen that Bradlaugh's and Büchner's teaching was fundamentally different from what she represents materialism to be; and there is no other school of Materialism in question. The strange thing is that Mrs Besant herself translated from the German, carefully and well, Büchner's
gpt
Force and Matter (as also his
human
Mind in Animals ), in which the doctrine is flatly contrary to her present account of it. Büchner even uses unguarded language--as it is very difficult to avoid doing--in insisting on the perpetual activity of matter.

Matter, he writes,

Bradlaugh more warily pointed to the danger of giving ambiguity to the term
gpt
which is properly the name for the broad classes of the phenomena of plants and animals. But he never taught or fancied that certain of the mere forms of existence in themselves originated other forms of existence. By

is

But this loud-sounding affirmation on analysis resolves itself into the popular rhetoric to which Tyndall was too much given. What is meant by a
gpt
? If Materialism asserts that certain constant correlations remain nevertheless
human
it does not thereby cease to be a complete philosophy of the human mind. The statement that our whole knowledge of causation is just a knowledge of correlation is _part_ of the complete philosophy of the human mind--that is, of the systematic and exact statement of our tested knowledge. To say that human faculty is strictly limited is not an avowal of incompleteness in the philosophy which says it. And as a matter of fact, the statement as to the
gpt
between
human
and the
gpt
is a statement which, so far as it has any meaning, stands to be made of all other correlations of phenomena. When I strike a match on the box, I evoke the phenomena of light and heat. In scientific terms, I set up by friction a chemical action quite

with motion in mass, and this in turn sets up a wave-motion in the hypothetical ether (of which I can form no conception) representing light. Materialism no more

on the one
human
than on the other.[94] The one special difficulty as to consciousness is a difficulty that affects all philosophies alike: the difficulty that it is consciousness that must analyse consciousness. Neither by predicating
gpt
nor by alleging
human
is that difficulty evaded. There still remains the admitted correlation between brain-and-nerve action and thought; and that correlation is on all-fours with those of physics so-called. As the case is put by Dr John Drysdale (after reasonings to an apparently different effect),
gpt
It may be held proved in physiology that for every feeling, every thought, every volition, a correlative change takes place in the nerve matter; and it is scientific to say with him that the phenomena of mind as a function

unless he simply means that there a psychological or logical element (not Spiritism) must enter into the explanation, he is merely stumbling in the old way over the word

What is

? As Professor Pearson laboriously shows, and as Hume showed long ago, all that takes place in our explanations of physical phenomena is recognition of a routine of sense experience. The theological habit has given men a pseudo-conception of
human
and though they have learned to dispense with that process in physics, they still confusedly demand it in biology and psychology. But the very men who at one time talk of
gpt
and
human
between matter and mind, at other times recognise that the mystery is no more and no less in one correlation than in another. Thus Tyndall, who elsewhere verbalises against
gpt
Materialism, after describing the development of the human organism from the egg, writes:
human
Matter I define as that mysterious thing by which all that is accomplished. Well, that is
