Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Analysis of Sensations, and the Relation of the Physical to the Psychical I am aware, of course, that I have succeeded in con tributing but little to the attainment of this end. The very fact that my investigations have been carried on, not in the way of a profession, but only at odd moments, and frequently only after long interruptions, must detract considerably from the value of my scattered publications, or perhaps even lay me open to the silent reproach of desultoriness. So much the more, therefore, am I under especial obligations to those investigators, such as E. Hering, V. Hensen, W. Preyer and others, who have directed attention either to the matter of my writings or to my methodological expositions. The present compendious and Supplementary present ation of my views will, perhaps, place my attitude in a somewhat more favorable light, for it will be seen that in all cases I have had in mind the same problem, no matter how varied or numerous were the single facts investigated. Although I can lay no claim whatever to the title of physiologist, and still less to that of philosopher, yet I venture to hope that the work thus undertaken, purely from a strong desire for self-enlightenment, by a physicist unconstrained by the conventional barriers of the specialist, may not be entirely without value for others also, even though I may not be everywhere in the right.
