Beyond meaning and truth

Beyond meaning and truth by Bertrand Russell ... We all start from "naive realism" that is from the belief that things are as they appear to be, so we believe that the grass is green, and that the stones are solid, and that the ice is cold. But physics confirms to us that the greenness of the grass, the hardness of the stone, and the coldness of the ice are not the greenness, hardness, and coldness we know through our own experience. Rather, they are completely different things. When a viewer seems to see a stone, in reality, if we trust physics, he notices the effects of the stone on himself. And thus it appears to him that science is at war with itself. When it wants to be very objective, it finds itself immersed in subjectivity against its desire.
