Abstract / Description: 

From the Robin Catalogue:
A. MS., n.p., late, pp. 1-9, with a variant p. 7.
“Reality,” “state of things,” “actuality,” and “reasoning” defined. Reality is that aspect of the being of anything which is independent of the thing’s being represented. The trustworthiness of immediate knowledge (sense perception) testifies only to this or that single state of things. Reasoning testifies to the truth that lies beyond our ken. CSP wonders what the eternal habits are, beyond those which involve the tridimensionality of space and the general mutability of time. Satisfactory and unsatisfactory feelings.
