Note 12 — II
Reading edition
The emphasis here is upon the term "existences," and in its plural form. Doubtless the distinction of some experiences as belonging to me, as mine in a peculiarly intimate way, from others as chiefly concerning other persons, or as having to do with things, is an early one. But this is a distinction of concern, of value. The distinction referred to above is that of making an object, or presentation, out of this felt type of value, and thereby breaking it up into distinct "events," etc., with their own laws of inner connection. This is the work of psychological analysis. Upon the whole matter of the psychical I am glad to refer to Professor George H. Mead's article entitled "The Definition of the Psychical," Vol. III, Part II, of The Decennial Publications of the University of Chicago.
