Re: Sherrington



Dear All,

This debate on Sherrington reminds me that I've meant to ask two questions. 
The first possibly involves Sherrington and the second I am asking again
because there now seems a bigger pool of potential respondents:

1.  Was it Sherrington who coined/used the phrase 'the unbridgeable
gap/gulf/chasm between mind and body"?  If not does anyone know who did?

2.  Who first use the term 'bahnung' for facilitation and what was the
context?  Did the context include any reference to Alexander Bain?

Cheers,

Mac
