ABSTRACT
From the problem of substance we pass to that of self. An analogous set of experiences and a similar intellectual necessity partly provoke and partly baffle each inquiry. In ordinary thought we refer qualities presented to our five senses to this or that material thing; and in just the same way we attribute feelings, emotions, ideas, beliefs, and the like, to the self. What, then, is the self? What postulate of thought or what product of experience is covered by that term? Do feelings and the like form any sort of intelligible whole; and if so, is it a connected, and is it a self-determining whole? What answer can experience give us to these questions?
