Excerpt from Straight Goods in Philosophy
Doctors of Philosophy and collegiate authorities on Psychology frequently refer to the "plain man" as distinguished from an individual of "trained mind." By the "plain man" they mean tho common sense person, who relies on his everyday experiences for his criterion, irrespective of deep and subtle analysis. The plain man has a kind of "horse intuition," using his senses for what they are worth, bringing memory to the fore as a help in his final decisions. He has no interest in the relationship of brain and body from a scientific standpoint, nor does he care a farthing whether Interactionism, Automatism or Parallelism clinches and settles the whole question or not. Whether mind and matter are equal and interdealing, as the Reactionist asserts, - implying causal relations, sequence, sensational brain event and volitional brain event coming one after the other, either way necessitating time, priority, etc., is not of the slightest importance to him. Nor does Automatism stir up in his being any deep-seated interest.
