Volume III: Psychology Lectures 1881-1882, 1881 - 1882

 Item
Reference Code: GBR/3377/JWard/2/2
Scope and Contents

Ward refers to a 'Law of Relativity' on p. 25 of the notebook, using the word 'relativity' in a pre-Einsteinian sense to describe how the nervous system apprehends reality, and going on to talk of a 'special continuum'. On p. 21 verso Ward includes a table showing a 'symbolic representation of psychical continua'; this is stuck into the book.
