Abstract
IN denoting matter, life, and mind as ‘events’ or ‘grades’, General Smuts struck a happy medium between the physicists' ‘stages’ and the metaphysicists' ‘planes’. In neither stressing nor denying a causal connexion, he succeeded in steering clear between the dangers of scientific uncertainty and meaningless profundity.
