V. Motion and Change and its Perception. 44-53
Motion is inconsistent; is not so fundamental as Change, 44, 45. Change is a new instance of our dilemma and is unintelligible, 45-49.
Perception of Succession is not timeless, 49-51. Its true nature, 51-53.
VI. Causation 54-61
Effort to avoid the contradiction of Change. But the Cause and its Effect are not compatible, 54, 55. Illusory attempt at explanation, 55, 56. The Cause spreads to take in all the conditions, and yet cannot be complete, 56-58. Its relation to its effect is unintelligible, 58.
Causal sequence must be, and cannot be, continuous, 58-61.
VII. Activity 62-70
Whether an original datum, or not, is irrelevant, 62. It has a meaning which implies change in time, 63, and self-caused change, 64, 65. Passivity what and how connected with Activity. Occasion what, 65. Condition and Sum of Conditions, 66-68.
Activity and Passivity imply one another, but are in consistent, 68-70.
VIII. Things 71-74
Our previous results have ruined Things, 71. Things must have identity which is ideal, and so appearance, 72, 73. Everyday confusion as to Things identity, 73-74.
IX. The Meanings of Self 75-102
The Self at last, but what does it mean? 75, 76. Self as body excluded, 77. I. Self as total contents of experience at one moment, 77. II. Self as average contents of experience, 77-79. III. Essential self, 80, 81. Personal identity, 81-86. IV. Self as Monad, 86-87. V. Self as what interests, 88. VI. Self as opposed to Not-self, 88-96. Each is a concrete group, 89,90. But does any content belong solely to self, 90, 91, or to Not-self, 91,92? Doubtful cases, 92-94. Self and Not-self on the whole are not fixed, 95, 96. Perception of Activity, its general nature, 96-100. VII. Self as Mere Self, 100-101.
