of it only after a certain stage in the development of knowledge has been reached. The other type of philosophy, of which Locke may be taken as a typical representative, looks upon consciousness as the subject matter of the science of psychology. From this point of view ideas are regarded as phenomena of consciousness, and con- sciousness itself, as an object of knowledge, 1 which may be de- scribed or otherwise dealt with as the purposes of the science dictate. For Locke the task of philosophy... was compassed by looking within his own mind to see how it wrought. Hume later essayed the task of building a true "science of man" upon the basis of observed experience, to take the place of "any hypothesis, that pretends to discover the ultimate original quali- ties of human nature. " 2 But the experience within which he proposes to confine his investigations turns out to be an experi- ence objectified, anatomized, in short, an object of knowledge rather than the concrete living reality of knowledge itself.
