    synthetic deductive reasoning, in which the conclusion of the induction forms one judgment of the deduction. 49. Suppose that you have forgotten whether independence or independence is the correct spelling. How would you ‘ reason out’ the correct spelling from your knowledge of Latin? How would this ‘reasoning’ differ from ‘remembering’ how to spell the word? 50. An office clerk sometimes forgot to turn off the electric light when he left at six o’clock and, in this case, he usually re¬ turned at eight to extinguish it. The office cat paid no attention to the light till after eight. Then, if the clerk had not returned, she put out the light by pulling down a cord. Describe the con¬ sciousness of the cat on the supposition that animals do not reason. 52. Is Max Muller justified in the statement: “reasoning is im¬ possible without language or without signs ” ? Justify your answer. XI. 53. Name and group the ten most important emotions.* 54. Name at least one emotion which seems not to be ‘ receptive,’ or ‘passive.’ Is this a real or apparent exception to the teaching of pages 171-172, above? 55. Give at least two examples each of: (a) exciting, and (b) de¬ pressing emotion; and of (c) emotion with future object, (d) emo¬ tion with past object. Where would you place these emotions in the table on pages 175-176? 56. Name an emotion roughly parallel with each of the follow¬ ing: (a) reverence, (b) terror, (c) scorn, (d) vanity, (e) shame. 57. How do you define and classify jealousy? 58. Name, classify, analyze into structural elements, describe as self-related-to-object, the following emotions: (a) the emotion of Shylock toward Antonio; (b) of Macbeth toward Banquo’s ghost; (c) of a little boy who is showing a new jack-knife to his schoolmates; (d) the emotions of Mowgli as described in Ques¬ tion 8. 59. Name the bodily conditions and accompaniments (includ¬ ing cerebral conditions) of one of the emotions just described. * This question should be answered before reading Chapter XI., II.
