ABSTRACT
Our consideration of the question “What is a man?” led to an outline of the naturalistic theory in the preceding chapter. Its answer consisted in an account of the body viewed in constant and dynamic interaction with the world about it (as seen from the standpoint of all the sciences), and a study of the qualities that occur in this career. Thus a meaning was given to mind and its relation to body. In the present chapter we shall turn more specifically to the indefinite article in the question and ask “What is a man?” We shall consider a number of problems that arise about the individual or the self, that which is designated when I speak of “I” or of “myself.”
