Human Personality and its Survival of Bodily Death 2012-01-05T03:00:42.307Z In many cases, however, the agent and percipient have been in the same room, and there has therefore still been some possible risk of unconscious whispering; but this risk has been successfully avoided. Occultism and Common-Sense 2011-07-16T02:00:14.303Z In addition to these voluntary or prearranged cases there is, however, another and much larger class of cases which occur spontaneously, unthought of, and unexpected by the percipient as well as by the agent.

Human Personality and its Survival of Bodily Death 2012-01-05T03:00:42.307Z It yet remains doubtful how far close proximity really operates in aid of telepathy, or how far its advantage is a mere effect of self-suggestion—on the part either of agent or percipient.

The Problems of Psychical Research Experiments and Theories in the Realm of the Supernormal To the psychologist the "place from which" is the more interesting, and the "sensibile" accordingly appears to him subjective and where the percipient is. Mysticism and Logic and Other Essays This could only be done by some superior intelligence who could survey apart the object and the percipient subject.

The Book of Dreams and Ghosts What I now want to discuss is the special relation of the percipient event which is ‘here’ to the duration which is ‘now.’ The Concept of Nature The Tarner Lectures Delivered in Trinity College, November 1919 On the hypothesis of believers, the percipients somehow behold 'Such refraction of events As often rises ere they rise.'

George Eliot; a Critical Study of Her Life, Writings & Philosophy Within the short present duration the ‘here’ of the percipient event has a definite meaning of some sort. The Concept of Nature The Tarner Lectures Delivered in Trinity College, November 1919 The modern 'spiritualistic' theory, again, that the dead man's 'spirit' is actually present to the percipient, in space, corresponds to, and is derived from, the animistic philosophy of the savage. The Making of Religion Passions and other obstacles may prevent indeed its efficacy, as clouds and vapours may obscure the sun; but itself neither admits diminution, nor change, because the darkness respects only particular percipients. The Grammar of English Grammars These are reproduced by the ‘agent’s’ theory of himself, perhaps with some unconscious assistance from ‘the percipient’. Cock Lane and Common-Sense But above all he is the microcosm, the tiny percipient centre upon which the immense cosmic circle focusses itself as the sun upon a burning-glass—and he is not shrivelled up by the miracle! Poetry This meaning of ‘here’ is the content of the special relation of the percipient event to its associated duration. The Concept of Nature The Tarner Lectures Delivered in Trinity College, November 1919 All percipients, of all sorts of hallucinations, hits or misses, were asked if they were in grief or anxiety.

Ethics There was no conceivable reason why the professor should ‘telepathically’ communicate with the percipient, who had never exchanged a word with him, except in an examination. Cock Lane and Common-Sense It follows that, if there were no percipient being to receive these sensations, there would be no heat or cold, no taste, no smell, no sound, and no colour. Thoughts on Man, His Nature, Productions and Discoveries Interspersed with Some Particulars Respecting the Author This peculiar relation is the relation of cogredience between the percipient event and the duration. The Concept of Nature The Tarner Lectures Delivered in Trinity College, November 1919 Herr Parish next invents a cause for an hallucination, which, I myself think, ought not to have been reckoned, because the percipient had been sitting up with the sick man.

Thoughts on Man, His Nature, Productions and Discoveries Interspersed with Some Particulars Respecting the Author The duration may comprise change within itself, but cannot—so far as it is one present duration—comprise change in the quality of its peculiar relation to the contained percipient event. The Concept of Nature The Tarner Lectures Delivered in Trinity College, November 1919 The doctrine of the Scripture is, that God made man of the dust of the ground, and by simply animating this organised matter, made man that living percipient and intelligent being that he is.

English literary criticism In the first place, by the impact on the percipient, or ens representans, not the object itself, but only its action or effect, will pass into the same. Biographia Literaria The real space is public, the apparent space is private to the percipient. The Problems of Philosophy In other words, perception is always ‘here,’ and a duration can only be posited as present for sense-awareness on condition that it affords one unbroken meaning of ‘here’ in its relation to the percipient event. The Concept of Nature The Tarner Lectures Delivered in Trinity College, November 1919 But man is not only a percipient being; he is also a being of will, and as such he comes into a relationship with the world which can be a source of rich experience. Man or Matter Abolish, now, one of the percipients, and the interpolation changes into 'extrapolation.' Meaning of Truth Besides a thing is that, which is capable of being an object which itself is not the sole percipient.

The Unknown Guest SOCRATES: Then, if that which acts upon me has relation to me and to no other, I and no other am the percipient of it? Theaetetus The awareness of the observer depends on the position of the percipient event in this systematic correlation.

A History of Science — Volume 2 Our percipient event is saved by being the whole of nature by this fact of its significations. The Concept of Nature The Tarner Lectures Delivered in Trinity College, November 1919 The percipient event is the relevant bodily state of the observer. The Concept of Nature The Tarner Lectures Delivered in Trinity College, November 1919 The colour of white, or any other colour, is neither in the eyes nor out of them, but ever in motion between the object and the eye, and varying in the case of every percipient. Theaetetus All we know of the characters of the events of nature is based on the analysis of the relations of situations to percipient events. The Concept of Nature The Tarner Lectures Delivered in Trinity College, November 1919 Furthermore the mirror is itself the situation of other sense-objects either for the same observer with the same percipient event, or for other observers with other percipient events. The Concept of Nature The Tarner Lectures Delivered in Trinity College, November 1919 For example, for any one percipient event, the situation of a sense-object of sight is apt also to be the situations of sense-objects of sight, of touch, of smell, and of sound. The Concept of Nature The Tarner Lectures Delivered in Trinity College, November 1919 This shows that the active conditions for the conveyance of a group of subconscious sense-objects by a dominating sense-object are to be found in the percipient event. The Concept of Nature The Tarner Lectures Delivered in Trinity College, November 1919 They embody those aspects of the character of the situations of the physical objects which are most permanent and are expressible without reference to a multiple relation including a percipient event. The Concept of Nature The Tarner Lectures Delivered in Trinity College, November 1919 Also the event which is the situation will have the relation of situation to the object only for one particular percipient event. The Concept of Nature The Tarner Lectures Delivered in Trinity College, November 1919 Our ‘percipient event’ is that event included in our observational present which we distinguish as being in some peculiar way our standpoint for perception. The Concept of Nature The Tarner Lectures Delivered in Trinity College, November 1919 This is the meaning of calling the percipient event our standpoint for perception. The Concept of Nature The Tarner Lectures Delivered in Trinity College, November 1919 The percipient event is always here and now in the associated present duration. The Concept of Nature The Tarner Lectures Delivered in Trinity College, November 1919 Thus one definite duration is associated with a definite percipient event, and we are thus aware of a peculiar relation which finite events can bear to durations. The Concept of Nature The Tarner Lectures Delivered in Trinity College, November 1919 The distant situation of a perceived object is merely known to us as signified by our bodily state, i.e. by our percipient event. The Concept of Nature The Tarner Lectures Delivered in Trinity College, November 1919 To sum up, a duration and a percipient event are essentially involved in the general character of each observation of nature, and the percipient event is cogredient with the duration.
