That must also be the formula for his 'true self." because if you eliminate asy one constituent, or vary the proportions of the con stituents, you have some other per | won altogether. As H 2 O is, water (and the "true self" of water must he H 2 O, not H alone, and not @ 2 H), so rian's true and only self is the self of his sum, his synthetic self. The whole, and not a part of it, is the thing. Include if you like the 80- called higher impulses in G and the lower in B (though this is quite unscientific) you still have no excuse for taking either part as the "true self" of the whole. For our part we require still to be shown that the "higher" or "true" impulses do not come from outside exactly as the "lower" or materially stimu lated ones do. The elements of any compound, once compounded, are not free. The compound must tehave according to the law of its being. If a gas, it must behave as a gas. Man is a compound of good and bad and indifferent. There is no wholly "good" man, no man entirely bad. Man is partly, conditionally."hee". and partly constrained. He is more bond than free. His "true self" is the mixture, the synthesis, not some trace" discovered by this sort of moral analysis. Quarrels and wars and much pain bave come of over looking this, so that the thing is politically momentous and no mere exercise in logic.
