About this book
The discussion defines Materialism as the theory that matter in motion is the ultimate or self-existing reality and therefore the cause of mind. The discussion defines Spiritualism as the theory that mind is the ultimate reality and therefore the cause of matter in motion. The account of Monism supposes matter in motion to be substantially identical with mind, leaving no causal relation between them in either direction.
The argument presents the last-mentioned theory as the only one among the three considered that satisfies all the facts of feeling and observation. The account of the brain asserts that, speaking generally, the intelligence of animal species varies with the mass of grey matter.
