+ It is true that in addition to the individual consistency of
+ actions there enter into thought interactions of a collective order
+ and consequently “norms” imposed by this collaboration. But
+ co-operation is only a system of actions, or of operations, car-
+ ried out in concert, and we may repeat the preceding argument
+ for collective symbolic behaviour, which likewise remains at a
+ level containing real structures, unlike axiomatizations of a
+ formal nature.
+
+ For psychology, therefore, there remains unaltered the prob-
+ lem of understanding the mechanism with which intelligence
+ comes to construct coherent structures capable of operational
+ combination; and it is no use invoking “principles” which this
+ intelligence is supposed to apply spontaneously, since logical
+ principles concern the theoretical pattern formulated after
+ thought has been constructed and not this living process of con-
+ struction itself. Brunschvicg has made the profound observation
+ that intelligence wins battles or indulges, like poetry, in a con-
+ tinuous work of creation, while logico-mathematical deduction
+ is comparable only to treatises on strategy and to manuals of
+ “poetic art”, which codify the past victories of action or mind
+ but do not ensure their future conquests. 1
