2 ideas

7. Existence / B. Change in Existence / 2. Processes

22629	Basic processes are said to be either physical, or organic, or psychological [Ingthorsson]
	Full Idea: Process philosophy is considered to include ideas of process as basically physical (Whitehead 1929), as basically organic (Bergson 1910), and as basically psychological (James 1890).
	From: R.D. Ingthorsson (A Powerful Particulars View of Causation [2021], 7.4)
	A reaction: I take Whitehead to be the only serious contender here.

7. Existence / D. Theories of Reality / 2. Realism

22633	Indirect realists are cautious about the manifest image, and prefer the scientific image [Ingthorsson]
	Full Idea: The indirect realist regards the manifest image with scepticism and contrasts it to the scientific image.
	From: R.D. Ingthorsson (A Powerful Particulars View of Causation [2021], 8.13)
	A reaction: This is why indirect realism is the best view for a realist who largely accepts the authority of science, Philosophers can wallow in the manifest image all they like (and most of them seem to love it), but truth is in the scientific image.
