An expectation is a future object, recognised as belonging to me.

Samuel Alexander

Samuel Alexander

Both expectations and memories are more than mere images founded on previous experience.

Samuel Alexander

Samuel Alexander

But unfortunately Locke treated ideas of reflection as if they were another class of objects of contemplation beside ideas of sensation.

Samuel Alexander

Curiosity begins as an act of tearing to pieces or analysis.
