Portée et contenu

Charlton on Madlock, Manchester - Thanks WW for his answer to AJ's note criticising WW's philosophy. He still thinks WW's explanation is not sufficient: 'Since matter cannot exist without form, form is as well as matter a condition of our sensations'. Numbers are a simple quality of matter. AJ presents a Lockean argument in opposition to WW's notion of fundamental ideas. AJ has formulated his view of Kant into two pages, which if WW is interested he will send him.

There are two notes attached to this letter of an earlier date: The first is an attempt to show WW the difference between his view of the mind (Lockean) and WW's (Kantian) - 'Our senses form the natural link between two opposite realities, viz: our mind and the external world'. The second note declares that he is to add his argument against WW in his book, which is part of a larger project opposing the views of Kant. WW's view on gold does not impugn AJ's argument 'that gold cannot exist without form , and that therefore I cannot have the sensation of the matter gold without having in the same time the sensation of a form of gold'.
