Quote from ‘C.S.P.'s Lowell Lectures of 1903 2nd Draught of 3rd Lecture’
Term:
Quote:
The second element is directly experienced in our sense of being here, in our sense of present fact, which is the experience of actual reaction with a non-ego. It consists in anything’s being that which another makes it to be here and now. I give to this element of doubleness the name of Secondness. Besides […] directly experiencing it, we regard outward objects as compelling one another, as exerting force upon one another.
