2.«The subjetivist position has been popular among those who have been engaged in giving a philosophical interpretation to the recent theories of relativity in physical science. The dependence of the world of sense on the individual percipient seems an easy mode of expressing the meanings involved. Of course, with the exception of those who are content with themselves as forming the entire universe, solitary amid nothing, everyone wants to struggle back to some sort of objetivist position. I do not understand how a common world of thought can be established in the absence of a common world of sense» (A. N. Whitehead: Science and the Modern World , Nueva York, MacMillan, 1925, p. 112).
