There are 2 systems of philosophy which deal with man’s soul:

Man as a Machine

Man is so complicated a machine that it is impossible to get a clear idea of the machine beforehand, and hence impossible to define it.

This is why all the investigations have been vain, which the greatest philosophers have made à priori, that is to to say, in so far as they use, as it were, the wings of the spirit.

My conclusions from the above observations are:

The fiercer animals are, the less brain they have
The brain increases in size in proportion to the gentleness of the animal
Nature has one condition that the more one gains in intelligence the more one loses in instinct

A violin string or a harpsichord key vibrates and gives forth sound.

Likewise, the cerebral fibers, struck by waves of sound, are stimulated to render or repeat the words that strike them.
