Excerpt from Scottish Metaphysics: Reconstructed in Accordance With the Principles of Physical Science
Our Scottish Metaphysics may with advantage be restated or reconstructed somewhat in correspondence with the lines of Physical Science, taken in its widest sense as including organic nature as well as inorganic. This would lead us to deal with the mind and its operations, as we do with the body and its actions, by viewing the mind as having its hyperphysical environments and being active therein, even as the body is active in the midst of its physical environments. As Physiology or Biology is the science of the living organism and its functions, so Psychology is the science of the mind and its functions; but as we have Physics or Physical science, which embraces the former and goes beyond it, so we have Metaphysics, which embraces Psychology and goes beyond it.
