Item 1848

Marginal pencil notation in A.S. Eddington, The Nature of the Physical World (Cambridge University Press 1932.), page 244

Original is missing.

/Eddington:

“Thirdly, the mind has by its selective power fitted the processes of nature into a frame of law of a pattern largely of its own choosing; and in the discovery of this system of law the mind may be regarded as regaining from Nature that which the mind has put into Nature.”/

Mind itself is from Nature — can find itself there.
