| X. | The Reality of Self | 103-120 |
| Self is doubtless a fact, but, as it appears, can it be real? 103-104. (a) Self as Feeling proves for several reasons untenable, 104-107. (b) Nor is self-consciousness in better case, 107-111. (c) Personal Identity useless, and so also functional unity of self, 112-114. (d) Self as Activity, Force, or Will, 114-117. (e) Self as Monad, 117, 118. Conclusion, 119, 120. | ||
| XI. | Phenomenalism | 121-126 |
| Result so far, 121. Phenomenalism as a remedy, 121, 122. But it does not include the facts, itself for one, 122. And its elements are unintelligible, 123. And difficulty as to past and future and Identity, 123, 124. And what are Laws, 124, 125? Final dilemma, 125, 126. | ||
| XII. | Things in Themselves | 127-132 |
| Separation of Universe into two hemispheres is indefensible, 127-129, and only doubles our difficulties, 129-131. Appearances are facts, which somehow must qualify reality, 131, 132. | ||
Book II.—Reality. | ||
| XIII. | The General Natural of Reality | 135-143 |
| Result, so far, mainly negative, 135; but we have an absolute criterion, 136. Objection based on development, 137. Our criterion is supreme, and not merely negative. It gives positive knowledge about reality, 137-140. Further, the Real is one substantially. Plurality of Reals is not possible, 140-143. | ||
| XIV. | The General Nature of Reality (cont.) | 144-161 |
| The Absolute is one system, and its matter is Experience, 144-147. But has it more than theoretical perfection, 147, 148? No answer from any practical postulate, 148-155. Ontological Argument, 149, 150. Practical and theoretical Axioms, 151-154. But, indirectly, theoretical perfection seems to imply perfection on all sides, 155-158. Our knowledge of the Absolute is incomplete, but positive. Its sources, 159-161. |
