'While refusing to doubt the reality of immediately perceptible phenomena the world tends, on the whole, to deny the reality of spirit. But spirit is not an immediately perceptible phenomenon....in such cases spirit is treated as an epiphenomenon, although no adequate explanation has ever been offered of this process.
