Maybe the only way we can think about a domain is by dividing it up into objects [Ladyman/Ross]
     Full Idea: Speculating cautiously about psychology, it is possible that dividing a domain up into objects is the only way we can think about it.
     From: J Ladyman / D Ross (Every Thing Must Go [2007], 3.5)
     A reaction: Typical physicists - they speculate about psychology instead of studying it. Have they no respect for science? Neverthless my speculative psychology agrees with theirs. This fact may well be the key to all of metaphysics.
