Reviews the article, Avons-nous des sensations spécifiques de position des membres? by Ed. Claparède (1900). The reviewer states that Claparède vigorously reaffirms his negative answer to this title-question, by reviewing briefly the logical and psychological arguments in favor of the two possible answers; by referring to a few results which he has derived from tests on movements; and especially by a critical discussion and final rejection of the views of M. P. Bonnier, published in the latter's l'Orientations (1900), which maintains an affirmative answer to the question. It is a complex phenomenon, involving the intermediation of an association of images, and appearing as the result of 'inference,' the term with which Claparède replaces the word 'judgment,' employed in his earlier expositions. He thus indicates that our ideas of position as such are not due to mere sensations, nor to an active, conscious operation or process. The reviewer states that one half of the article is devoted to an examination of the materialistic views of Bonnier, who regards the alleged 'sens des attitudes segmentaires' as the foundation of all our mental life.
