2. All sensation is an affair of touch involving im­ mediate contact. The impression produced at any one part spreads through the body and consequently may be felt everywhere. The atom is solid but not itself per41 42 A History o f Psychology ceptible ; the bodies which we perceive are complexes of atoms, and bodies differ because atoms differ in order, figure, and position. These characters, which are purely geometrical or spatial, constitute the primary qualities which are per­ ceived by touch.

I t was hardly probable that at such a time a speculative mind would be free from a tendency to false analogies. We find these clearly indicated, and it is therefore all the more creditable to Alcmseon that he made a direct study of causes, perhaps even to the extent of practising dissection. From his observations of the human organism he formulated theories of the structure and functions of the sense organs; in the case of the eye, observation seems to have been attracted first by the presence in it of fire and of water.

On the one hand, the brain is the centre for the senses ; it is a meeting-place for the channels of the senses; it acts in a way that causes the motions of the sense organs to come to rest. Alcmseon also made a distinction between thought and sense. On the other hand, when we are told that the soul is self-moving, that it is on that account immortal, that it is divine in the sense that the sun is divine, we seem to have traces of early mys­ ticism, added to the results of inductive observation.
