All that we know of any material thing, whether a human body or a rock or a tree, is its attributed qualities; that is to say, what we suppose it to be in accordance with the qualities which we attribute to it. We used to attribute to a chunk of iron the quality of opacity, but it can easily be proved with the X-rays that it is opaque or transparent according to the kind and quality of vision which examines it. And so everything material is phenomenal merely, so far as our knowledge of it can possibly go.
