Hence the question arses: precy how are nature and the perception of nature, the experience of nature, to be determined? We said at the outset that nature Is the fed of transcendent — specifically. spatio-temporal —real- ties. But the concept of tel spatio-emporal objectivity, a wil Soom appear. i neficent, It will mmediatelye evident that fot all predicates which ate. ia truth, 10 be ascribed to Spatiotemporal realits, and aze actly 0 acrbed hy, do for all that belong to the esene ofthe nature- Object which is 2} the correlate of the idea of natural since.
