Note 57 — Chapter XV · CONSEQUENCES OF THE NEW SPACE AND TIME MEASUREMENTS—SIMULTANEITY

Reading edition

In the present chapter we are classing under the common name of “neo-realism” all those metaphysical doctrines which agree in considering perception, especially visual perception, a matter of direct apprehension. This classification may not be in accord with that of the metaphysicians. But as, from the standpoint of science, all doctrines that hold to the theory of the direct apprehension of reality are equally objectionable, we shall not trouble to differentiate between them.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
