SUO: Re: 'q'
¤~~~~~~~~~¤~~~~~~~~~¤~~~~~~~~~¤~~~~~~~~~¤~~~~~~~~~¤
| For the feeling to be cognitive in the specific sense, then,
| it must be self-transcendent; and we must prevail upon the
| god to 'create a reality outside of it' to correspond to its
| intrinsic quality 'q'. Thus only can it be redeemed from the
| condition of being a solipsism. If now the new-created reality
| 'resemble' the feeling's quality 'q', I say that the feeling may
| be held by us 'to be cognizant of that reality'.
