... the passage from the current to the needle, if not demonstrable, is thinkable, and that we entertain no doubt as to the final mechanical solution of the problem. But the passage from the physics of the brain to the corresponding facts of consciousness...

...srtrprised should his meaning be misapprehended. We must, however, accept the explicit statements that " the passage from the physics of the brain to the corresponding facts of consciousness is unthinkable," and that " the chasm between the two classes of phenomena is intellectually impassable."

...thought is a mere ' function ' or a ' secretion ' of the brain, for Professor Tyndall tells us that ' the passage from the physics of the brain to the corresponding facts of consciousness is unthinkable,' and all modern physiologists admit that though the brain process and the thought process arc synchronous... | |

...And so long as the most advanced physicists are constrained to admit, with Professor Tyndall, that " the passage from the physics of the brain to the corresponding facts of consciousness is unthinkable," the theory of a separate and spiritual soul, in some way — to us mysterious, but, for aught we know,... | |

...regarding the world to come. This looks very much like a contradiction. After having told us that " the passage from the physics of the brain to the corresponding facts of consciousness is unthinkable," you would have us suppose that nevertheless " pure intellect," untroubled by hopes and fears of a world... | |
