EJECT, a term introduced by Clifford (in Seeing and Think ing) and adopted by Romanes and others, for the conception that another self is in the first instance apprehended in terms of one's own self, which is ejected, as it were, into another body (Latin eiectum, something thrown out). The conception has also been employed in connection with animism and anthropo morphism.
