Excerpt from The Influence of the Mind on the Body Whatever may be the opinions which one professes in the matter of philosophy, whether one is a spiritualist or a scientific materialist, each one recognizes the reciprocal influence which the spirit and the body, the moral and the physical, exert upon each other. It will certainly be interesting to attempt a precise definition of these words which one employs so frequently, and to show the transformations which the notion of the soul undergoes when one passes from the dualism of religions to the unity of natural philosophy.
