I refer to the law of the Correlation of Forces. If states of mind are simply states of matter, it is insisted they must be brought into harmony with all those general laws which govern the phenomena of matter. The difficulty of finding an application of this law to mental conditions has been generally recognized, and this difficulty has been taken advantage of by those styling themselves "antimaterialists," and urged with considerable force as an objection. Unless this objection can be met, materialism must admit a vulnerable point. For those who are unfamiliar with physical science, it will be necessary for a thorough comprehension of the argument to state with some fulness the meaning and application of the phrase "correlation of forces." I cannot do this better than in the words of Mr. Fiske, who at the same time forcibly states the objections we are obliged to meet: "Let us now apply these principles to the case of an organism, such as the human body.
