9. Objects / A. Existence of Objects / 1. Physical Objects

1628	If physical objects are a myth, they are useful for making sense of experience [Quine]
	Full Idea: The myth of physical objects is epistemologically superior to most in that it has proved more efficacious than other myths as a device for working a manageable structure into the flux of experience.
	From: Willard Quine (Two Dogmas of Empiricism [1953], p.44)
