The Concept of Nature

CHAPTER I
9/43

But such a synthesis is exactly what I am not attempting.

I am concerned exclusively with the generalisations of widest scope which can be effected respecting that which is known to us as the direct deliverance of sense-awareness.
I have said that nature is disclosed in sense-perception as a complex of entities.

It is worth considering what we mean by an entity in this connexion.

'Entity' is simply the Latin equivalent for 'thing' unless some arbitrary distinction is drawn between the words for technical purposes.

All thought has to be about things.
