This is a composite essay series derived from the Harvard Tercentenary Conference. Dr. Adrian writes briefly upon the Nervous System in its eclectic capacities, Dr. Collip on the hormones, in elementary orthodox terms, Dr. Piaget on Intellectual Evolution, condensing in an admirable manner his more extensive volume of the same material. Dr. Jung deals with psychological factors as interactional activities of instinct and the environment in such terms as ecto-instinct, “psychification” and “reflexio”, i.e., the turning inward with its rich phenomenology, with three semi-physiological modalities, in which the distinction of conscious and unconscious are of primary importance.
Dr. Janet writes upon “psychological strength and weakness” as expressions of health and disease and reverts to his ‘asthenia’ conceptions, to us quite dated.
Dr. Carnap of Prague, now of Chicago, gives a chapter on logic, Malinowsky one on Culture.
An interesting pot-pourri of certain of the aspects of behavioral phenomena.
