| Summary: | "The leading result obtained by the analysis of Book II (S.H. Hodgson; see record 2009-06453-000) consists in this, that we can now bring a definite conception of the real agent and real conditioning in psychology into connection with the previously obtained distinction between consciousness as a knowing and consciousness as an existent. In other words we can now fruitfully combine psychological with metaphysical conceptions and method. The outlines of the task before us in Book III are to analyze, compare, and marshal the states and processes of consciousness belonging to the whole domain of redintegration until they disclose to us the nature and method of conscious action, and thereby enable us to establish the fundamental conceptions and principles of Ethic and of Logic, which together cover its entire field"--Book.
