ABSTRACT
This chapter examines interpretations based respectively on Mediation and Immediacy, taking account of the several types of each revealed in the historical account of the stages of interpretation and reaching our own reasoned results. The problem of interpretation itself remains over, apart from the question of history. The consideration of its history is ancillary to its own treatment. The historical movement of interpretation shows the three great periods conveniently characterized as prelogical, logical, and hyper-logical; and these three headings will be divisions in the treatment of the historical movement. A Sketch and an Interpretation, this thought is carried out, the development of psychology being considered as the evolution of the dualism of mind and body and its interpretation, parallel with a similar movement in the individual. The consideration of the question of the history of interpretation falls to the genetic theory of reality and constitutes, the first great branch of Morphology.
