ABSTRACT
The inseparability of reality from immediate experience involves the recognition of it as teleological and as uniquely individual. This chapter presents an examination of the implications of the experiential character of real Being. It deals with the nature of its unity as a single system. Agnostic Realism, while asserting the ultimate dependence of our experience upon a reality which exists independently of experience, denies that metaphysicians can have any knowledge of the nature of this independent reality. Of all men the metaphysician, just because his special interest is to know something final and certain about Reality, is the most apt to exaggerate the amount of his certain knowledge. Against this psychological doctrine metaphysicians have to urge that it is in flagrant contradiction with the certain facts of actual life; and that, as a doctrine in Psychology, it is demonstrably false.
