Abstract
every age, it has been said, is an ‘age of transition’. So too, it might be said, is every age, in the history of the philosophy of mind at least, an age of revolt. Indeed this is almost a logical necessity. One who enters the pages of this history does so only by raising some banner of revolt; and the more faithful his disciples the sooner they are forgotten. It is upon the unfaithful disciple that the mantle always falls. Though this be so in general the present century has been to a quite unusual degree a period of great revolutions in the philosophy of mind.
