impulse as an organized system (7) resting on
feeling in a generic sense of the term. (8) The
principle of Control then lies not outside, but
within the system of impulse-feeling, and it is here
if anywhere that practical rationality must be found.
CHAPTER III THE RATIONAL 62
(1) The rational judgment is that which is con-
sistent, grounded and objective, the first two char-
acters being the test of the third. (2) The search
for grounds leads up to immediate judgments both
particular and general. Particular immediate judg-
ments, however, are not indubitably true, but are
corroborated by interconnexion. (3) Immediate
general judgments likewise require interconnexion.
(4) Interconnectedness is in fact the rational basis
of belief. (5) The grounds on which interconnexion
rests are universal relations. (6) The principles of
interconnexion rest on the consilience of all con-
sistent acts of inference. (7) The rational in cogni-
tion is then the effort to attain truth by the per-
sistent interconnexion of judgments through uni-
versal relations.
CHAPTER IV THE GOOD 77
(1) Is there any reason in the choice of ultimate
ends, i.e. is there a Rational Good? (2) Generically
the Good appears as a harmony (mutual support)
of feeling and effort, (3) or of feeling and passive
experience including, e.g., observation of the be-
haviour of another. Generically pleasure is feeling
in harmony and pain in disharmony. (4) The fact
asserted by the judgment "This is Good" is thus a
relation between an experience and a feeling.
