Stout -- Stout's doctrine of primary and secondary qualities -- Stout and the Brentano School -- Representative function of presentations -- Sensiblespace and real space -- Cook Wilson's geometrical counter-example -- Stout's central question -- Ideal constructions -- Ideal constructions in psychology and epistemology -- British new realism : thelanguage of madness -- Stout's criticisms of Alexander -- Alexander's response -- The nature of sensations, images, and other presentations -- What is the metaphysical problem? -- "How can the interpretation which is supplied by the mind be aconstituent of the [physical] object?" -- Some general remarks -- British new realism : the language of common-sense -- T.P. Nunn and the newrealism -- Nunn and things -- Nunn's postulate -- Russell and Stout onsensible objects -- Russell, sense-data and sensibilia -- The methods of construction -- Russell's constructions and Nunn's postulate -- Constructions, psychology, and the essence of philosophy -- The method of logical construction -- A mathematical development -- The principle of abstraction.

This book demonstrates the influence of an Edwardian 'controversy' on Russell's philosophy ofthe external world. It brings to our attention a debate that raged amongst Edwardian philosophers onissues of central significance to analytic philosophy before Bertrand Russell entered the discussion. In explaining this Edwardian 'controversy', Nasim Omar combines meticulous scholarly detail withaccessibility to argue that the formation of the original strands of 'realism' in British philosophy,usually credited to Russell and Moore, can in fact be linked with a group of Edwardian philosophersthat included G.F.Stout and Sir T.P. Nunn. The author re-examines the history of well known notionslike b1 ssense-data b2 s and b1 ssensibilia b2 s, and makes a case for understanding Russell's appealfor the application of b1 slogical constructions b2 s, at first only used as a device in mathematical logic, to the problem of the external world. This switch in the application of logical construction is seen as the rise of a new philosophical method. This book will not only shed light on therelevant doctrines of some of the Edwardian philosophers, but will also demonstrate the considerable role they played in the history of early analytic philosophy.
