11. Knowledge Aims / C. Knowing Reality / 2. Phenomenalism

18988	Behind the bare phenomenal facts there is nothing [Wright,Ch]
	Full Idea: Behind the bare phenomenal facts, as my tough-minded old friend Chauncey Wright, the great Harvard empiricist of my youth, used to say, there is nothing.
	From: Chauncey Wright (talk [1870]), quoted by William James - Pragmatism - eight lectures Lec 7
	A reaction: This is the best slogan for strong phenomenalism ever coined! It also seems to fit David Lewis's approach to philosophy, as the pure study of the mosaic of experiences.
