XIX. THE THIS AND THE MINE 223-240
Their general nature, 223. They are positive and negative, 224. Feeling as immediate experience of reality, 224, 225. The This as feeling of reality, and as positive fragmentariness, 226, 227.

The This as negative. It transcends itself, 227, 228. The This as unique and as Self-will, 228, 229.

Is there more than content in the This? 230-233. Does any content stick in the This? 233. No, it only seems to do so through our failure, 234-240. The "merely mine," what, 237.

XX. RECAPITULATION 241-246
Result so far, 241, 242. Individuality and Perfection,

are they merely negative? 243-245. Perfection and quantity, 245. There is but one perfect being, 246.

XXI. SOLIPSISM 247-260
Problem stated, 247, 248. The Experience appealed

to is Direct or Indirect, 248.

I. Direct Experience does not give my self as sole substantive, 248-250.

II. But can we transcend direct experience at all? Or is the this-mine "unique" ? No, not in sense of "exclusive," and we are forced to go beyond, 251-254. Then, if so, can we stop at our past and future self, or must we conclude also to other souls? 254, 255. Neither can be demonstrated, but both depend on the same argument, 255-258. Nor would unreality of other selves prove Solipsism, 258. Everything is, and also is not, my experience, 258, 259. Truths contained in Solipsism, 260.

XXII. NATURE 261-294
Nature meaning of, and origin of for us, 261, 262

In its essence there is an Antinomy. It is relation of unknown to unknown, 263-265. It is a mere system of the conditions of some phenomena, and an inconsistent abstraction, 266, 267.

Is all Nature extended? 267-269. Is any part of Nature inorganic ? 270-272. Is it all relative to finite souls? 273-280. These questions not important, 280, 281. Identity of Nature, 281-283. Position of physical science, 283-286. Unity of Nature, 286-288. Solidity, 288-290. Infinity of Nature, 290-292. Its Uniformity, 292. Nature is contingent, in what sense, 293, 294.
