There is no hope of finding the sources of free action in the lofty 
realms of the mind or in the depths of the brain. The idealist approach 
of the phenomenologists is as hopeless as the positive approach of the 
naturalists. To discover the sources of free action it is necessary to 
go outside the limits of the organism, not into the intimate sphere of 
the mind, but into the objective forms of social life; it is necessary 
to seek the sources of human consciousness and freedom in the social 
history of humanity. To find the soul it is necessary to lose it.
