Why the Mind Has a Body, by c. A.
Strong, soon TO be published by The Mac
milan Company, IS philosophical essay
on the relation OF the mind TO THE body,
the appearance Of which IS most timely,
as II Is based on the current controversy
between the common-sense school Of the
orists, who maintain that the mind acts
on the body. and the internationally or
"parallclists' who declare that the vary
ing conditions Of consciousness are only
the natural sequences to changes in the
brain. The writer further maintains that
the only way TO determine this question,
which has been the subject ofmuch discus
sion for many years. is by means OF meta
physical Investigation of the nature Of
matter and mind.
