Letter: Do we make reality? Maybe, maybe not (3)

Published 30 October 2024

From Patrick Butterly, Buckfastleigh, Devon, UK

That might come as a shock to scientists, but not to poets and novelists: they have always thought it obvious that reality inheres not in the common phenomenal world, but in the perceptions of that world in individual minds.
