ABSTRACT
I demonstrated in my General Principles of Human Reflexology (Petrograd, Rikker, 1918) that manifestations of the individual personality are at present investigated with a strictly objective research method. The latter should definitely be applied to the manifestations of collective, or composite, personality, for to speak of "public consciousness," "public soul," or—which is the same—of "collective soul" means no more than to use a figurative expression. The truth is that while a human individual can accomplish self-analysis by means of self-observation, the same can never be done with respect to a collective, or composite, individual.
