I don’t agree with that quote.
We perceive something first and then we superimpose our idea on to it, not the other way around. When we are not looking at a house, it is still there, but it is not being observed as a house, it is simply being.
Yakk,
That is very well put. Though I have to add that if an object behaves as if it’s existence is continuous whether we are aware of it or not then by all means would it not qualify as a continuously existing object? How else can we measure existence?
Though we can never test the continual existence of all the things we come into contact with we can never be sure if they in fact continue to exist. But I would also point out that continual existence is a tried and tested theory
