SUO: Re: 'q'




¤~~~~~~~~~¤~~~~~~~~~¤~~~~~~~~~¤~~~~~~~~~¤~~~~~~~~~¤

| Well now, can our little feeling, thus left alone in the universe, --
| for the god and we psychological critics may be supposed left out
| of the account, -- can the feeling, I say, be said to have any sort
| of a cognitive function?  For it to 'know', there must be something
| to be known.  What is there, on the present supposition?
| One may reply, "the feeling's content 'q'."
