Abstract
THE Journal of the Washington Academy of Sciences of March 19 contains a communication from Mr. L. T. Troland of Harvard University entitled “Psychophysics as the Key to the Mysteries of Physics and Metaphysics.” The article is interesting as a revival of the once famous theory of mind-stuff put forward by W. K. Clifford in his lecture on “The Nature of Things in Themselves.” Mr. Troland connects it with several recent philosophical theories of psychical monism and brings it forward with particular reference to the consequences of adopting the principle of relativity and the quantum theory in physics, both of which, he contends, demand the recognition of the ultimate psychical nature of physical reality.
