ABSTRACT
The common dualistic view, that besides the various kinds of awareness and activity of the individual subjective mind there is in nature an objective substratum which is unknowable, has a considerable amount of plausibility. It may seem obvious that a direct discernment ofthe details of atomic structure or of the constitution of distant galaxies must be absolutely beyond our powers. It may also be argued that since everything which we observe is an appearance according to the subjective occasion, no room is left for observation of an objective substructure, although this must exist to account for the continuing order of nature, affecting all people similarly.
