380 G. T. LADD: " PSYCHO-PHYSICAL PARALLELISM". must be found in the Being of the Cosmos itself. For in this Being man, both body and mind, has his being ; and in the nature of the Cosmos must somehow be found the more ultimate explana- tion of the infinitely varied, complicated and subtile interrelations of the two. This necessity is especially placed upon the problem which psycho-physical science hands over to philosophy. For in the microcosmus the Cosmos is revealed as nowhere else. But how we shall conceive of this Cosmos so as to satisfy the conditions, as best we may, not only of this psycho-physical problem but of all our more ultimate scientific problems, general philosophy and the philosophy of religion strive to show. GEORGE TRUMBULL LADD.
