"When we say that Philosophy tries to clear up the meanings of concepts we do not mean that it is simply concerned to substitute some long phrase for some familiar word."

Philosophy

"It is clear that every immediate object of our senses both exists and is real in the primary meaning of these terms so long as we remain aware of the object."

Meaning

"In all the sciences except Psychology we deal with objects and their changes, and leave out of account as far as possible the mind which observes them."

Mind

"In Psychology we deal with minds and their processes, and leave out of account as far as possible the objects that we get to know by means of them."
