in as acceptably with scientific psychology as with ancient philosophy and religion. It is the only view which completely justifies the universal practice of modern psychology in leaving the "I," or Ego, out of its analysis; for if the Ego were not transcen- dental it would have to be treated analytically in psychology, instead of being merely assumed. Be- ing transcendental, the Ego has practically no in- terest for psychology or science.
Modern psychology is truly said to be psychology without a soul, but if the transcendental point of reference or subject is what is meant by the term soul, psychology not only does not deny the soul, but positively affirms it. We must, however, bear in mind the fact not only that we can know nothing about the Ego, but that there is nothing to be known about it.
