Excerpt from The Mind in Action This book deals with the dynamic conception of mind. Nowhere in the book is it called that. Some years ago Huxley said that science is "organised common sense." Unlike many of the men who lived in his own day and many who have lived since, he was capable of saying what he knew in common, everyday speech. Since then, Blatchford has maintained that the man who cannot state his knowledge so that his neighbour in the railway carriage understands him does not know the subject too well himself. What you cannot explain in everyday language you do not know. I have tried to use none but common, everyday words throughout this book. Consequently I have nowhere spoken of the dynamic conception of mind. I have found it possible to speak more simply. I have never understood why I should not talk of the human mind in exactly the same way that I should talk of dinners and theatres, of newspapers and tobacco. At all times and in all places men talk of the things that interest them, and are of importance to them, in words that need no great effort to understand.
