The Concept of Nature

CHAPTER VII
28/46

There is a certain correlation between the ingressions of sense-objects of touch and sense-objects of sight into nature, and in a slighter degree between the ingressions of other pairs of sense-objects.
I call this sort of correlation the 'conveyance' of one sense-object by another.

If you are a smoker, you may also subconsciously be aware of the faint aroma of tobacco.

The peculiar fact, posited by this sense-awareness of the concurrence of subconscious sense-objects along with one or more dominating sense-objects in the same situation, is the sense-awareness of the perceptual object.

The perceptual object is not primarily the issue of a judgment.
