XXIII. BODY AND SOUL 295
They are phenomenal and furnish no ground for an objection, 295-297. Body, what, 297, 298. Soul, what, 298. It is not the same as experience. This shown from point of view of the individual, 299-304; and of the Absolute, 305-307.

Objections discussed, (i) If phenomenal, is the soul a mere appendage to the organism? Problem of continuity and of dispositions. The soul an ideal construction, 307-316. (2) Does the series imply a transcendent Ego? 316. (3) Are there psychical facts which are not events? 317-323.

Relation of Body and Soul. They are not one thing, 323, 358. They are causally connected, 324, 325. One is not the idle adjective of the other, 326-331. The true view stated, 333-335; but the connection remains inexplicable, 336, 337. How far can body or soul be independent? 337-342,

Communication between Souls, its nature, 342-347.

Identity of diverse souls, its nature and action, 347-352. Identity within one soul, and how far it transcends the mechanical view, 353-57.

XXIV. DEGREES OF TRUTH AND REALITY 359-400
The Absolute has no degrees, but this not true of Existence, 359, 360. Truth nature of, 360, 361. It remains conditional, 361. Hence no total truth or error, only more or less of Validity, 362, 363.

The Standard, what. It has two features which are essentially connected, 363-365. Approach to this measures degree of relative truth, 365. All thought, even mere imagination, has some truth, 365-370. The Standard further specified, in relation to mere phenomena, 370, and to higher appearances, 370-372. No other standard possible, 372-374. And ours is applicable everywhere, 375-377. The world of Sense, its proper place. Neither mere Sense nor mere Thought is real, 378-381. The truer and more real must appear more; but in what sense? 381, 382.

Complete conditions not same as Reality, 383. Unseen Nature and psychical Dispositions, 383, 384. Potential Existence, what, 384-387. Possibility and Chance and external Necessity, relative and absolute, 387-394. Degrees of Possibility, 394. The Ontological Proof, its failure and justification, 395-397. Bastard form of it, 398, 399. Existence necessary, in what sense, 400.

XXV. GOODNESS 401-454
Good and Evil and their degrees are not illusions, but still are appearances, 401, 402. Goodness, what, 402.
