ABSTRACT
Let us turn now from our examination of space to theobjects which fill that space. If we consult a classical psychology textbook, it will tell us that an object is a system
of properties which present themselves to our various senses
and which are united by an act of intellectual synthesis. For
example, this lemon is a bulging oval shape with two ends plus
this yellow colour plus this fresh feel plus this acidic
taste . . . This analysis, however, is far from satisfactory: it is
not clear how each of these qualities or properties is bound
to the others and yet it seems to us that the lemon is a uni-
fied entity of which all these various qualities are merely
different manifestations.
