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

23207	Appearance is the sole reality of things, to which all predicates refer [Nietzsche]
	Full Idea: Appearance as I understand it is the actual and single reality of things - that which first merits all existing predicates.
	From: Friedrich Nietzsche (Unpublished Notebooks 1885-86 [1886], 40[53])
	A reaction: This is the view espoused by John Stuart Mill (a fact which would shock Nietzsche!). Elsewhere he laughs at the concept of the thing-in-itself as a fiction.
