This Harmony That Human Intelligence Believes It Discovers In Nature - Does It Exist Apart From That Intelligence? No, Without Doubt, A Reality Completely Independent Of The Spirit Which Conceives It, Sees It Or Feels It, Is An Impossibility. A World So Exterior As That, Even If It Existed, Would Be Forever Inaccessible To Us. But What We Call Objective Reality Is, In The Last Analysis, That Which Is Common To Several Thinking Beings, And Could Be Common To All; This Common Part, We Will See, Can Be Nothing But The Harmony Expressed By Mathematical Laws.
