...been kept by modern science - a fact suppressed by the positivist philosophy of science. Thus Newton: "Colours in the Object are nothing but a Disposition...or that sort of Rays more copiously than the rest" (Newton, 1782, Vol. IV).

...in this world of the scientist there are only primary qualities. In things, colours, for instance, are 'nothing but a disposition to reflect this or that sort of rays more copiously than the rest, (while) in the rays they are nothing but their dispositions to propagate this or that motion into the... | |
