e
presuppositions of science much less than is sometimes imagined. Our
intuitions of external realities, our indestructible belief in the
uniformity of nature, in the nexus of cause and effect, and so on, are,
by the admission of all philosophers, at least partially and
_relatively_ true; that is to say, true in relation to certain features
of our common experience. At the worst, they can only be called illusory
as slightly misrepresenting the exact results of this experience. And
even so, the misrepresentation must, by the very nature of the case, be
practically insignificant. And so in full view of the subtleties of
philosophic speculation, the man of science may still feel justified in
regarding his standard of truth, a stable consensus of belief, as above
suspicion.
