ABSTRACT
This chapter examines that minds or spirits are not altogether self-contained, and cannot be properly understood without reference to their social relations. The material system with which they are connected throughout the whole course of their development. According to the newer conceptions of physical science, matter is capable of being analysed into modes of energy, concentrated. At certain points within a spatio-temporal system, but extending its influence throughout the whole of that system. There is, however, one further consideration as conscious beings or spirits, are not only in the most intimate connection with our physical organisms, their inherited constitution and inborn tendencies, but also with the social organism. When full account is taken of all these elements in the building up of a human personality, it is importance that has to be considered as purely spiritual in the explanation of it. In the end, there is nothing in spirit that may not be traced back to nature.
