NAMES AND PROPOSITIONS. 



For distinction's sake, every fact which is solely composed 

 of feelings or states of consciousness considered as such, is 

 often called a Psychological or Subjective fact ; while every 

 fact which is composed, either wholly or in part, of something 

 different from these, that is, of substances and attributes, is 

 called an Objective fact. We may say, then, that every ob- 

 jective fact is grounded on a corresponding subjective one ; 

 and has no meaning to us, (apart from the subjective fact 

 which corresponds to it,) except as a name for the unknown 

 and inscrutable process by which that subjective or psycho- 

 logical fact is brought to pass.
