Note 82 — X Insight

I do not forget, of course, that subordinate parts of our organism will show reactions, externally similar to those described, though belonging to the reflex type of movement. Stimulated by a prick, the foot will be withdrawn by reflex. In no case would this fact create an objection against the theory of insight-reaction. In some of its activities the organism is doubtlessly similar to a very practical machine; at the same time in others, and most of all those in which it behaves as a whole, direct dynamics may decide what happens.
