Excerpt from Physiological Psychology Psvcgronocv may be best and most comprehensively defined as the positive science of the conduct of living creatures. That 18 to say, it is the science which attempts to describe and explain the conduct of men and of other living creatures, and is not concerned with questions as to what their conduct ought to be. These questions it leaves to Ethics, the normatwe science of conduct. In adopting this definition we must understand the word conduct in the widest possible sense as denoting the sum of the activities by which any creature maintains its relations with other creatures and with the world of physical things. Psychology is more, commonly defined as the science of mind, or as the science of mental or psychical processes, or of consciousness, or of individual experience. Such definitions are ambiguous, and without further elaboration are not sufficiently comprehensive. They express the aims of a psychologist who relies solely upon introspection, the observ ation and analysis of his own experience, and who unduly neglects the manifestations of mental life afforded by the con duct of his fellow-creatures. They do not adequately define the task that modern physiological psychology sets before itself. For physiological psychology aims at describing and explaining, as far as possible, all the factors that take part in determining the conduct of all living creatures, and though conduct seems to be in great part determined by our sensations, feelings, desires.
