“The sanction for correlating a “real” physical world to certain feelings of which we are conscious does not seem to differ in any essential respect from the sanction for correlating a spiritual domain to another side of personality” (page 460)
A. S Eddington looks at science from a very interesting perspective. It is very apparent here how looking at things from a new perspective can give you new insights on the topic you are studying. I find it fascinating how Eddington takes a very complex topic and breaks it down to more manageable parts. By looking at the authors thinking process, it really helps the reader to understand the overall meaning of their work.
