^{page 507 note 1} Although it does not help Mr. Dingle’s general contention, he could not refrain from a dig at my definition of reality as being independent of the mind: “Except that mind must be unreal, this tells us nothing.…” Even disregarding the fact that I gave my definition in a discussion of physical reality, this remark of Mr. Dingle shows an astounding ignorance of the traditional philosophical context in which “independence of mind” is taken in opposition to the subjective idealists’ “dependence on mind as an idea.” In this sense a mind is independent of a mind, and is real for it is not a mere idea of another mind.
