For one of the keys to the understanding of the human predicament is the recognition that there is, for the human individual, no reality-- no comprehensible and useful reality, at any rate-- other that that of an object as perceived by the human eye and the human mind-- no abstract reality, in other words, detached from the eye of the beholder. All that we see around us may be considered to some extent as a part of ourselves, the reflection of our own astigmatisms, our own individual perspectives, and-- sometimes-- our intuitions. Unless it is taken that way, we cannot recognize its reality, or even know it to be real.
