ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the particular relations between the brain on the one hand and the psychoid on the other. The brain is necessary for action in the realm of nature; its structure in the different groups of animals conditions particular forms and degrees of action; and cerebral defects condition generally specific defects in action. The autonomous non-mechanical natural activity which is essential for the processes of life psychologists have named entelechy. So far as this enters into the movements of a human body which are described as 'actions,' psychologists will give it the special name of 'psychoid’. Further no kind of 'action' would result from such a given momentary material condition of the brain by itself; rather nothing but chaotic ruin; for the natural existence and activity of a living organism is only sustained by the guidance of its entelechy.
