remains in exactly the same place. 
If science had made a single step in this direction, if we could feel or sense 
at least something differently, then we should be able to admit that science is 
progressing and might take two, three, ten or a thousand steps forward. But 
since it has not taken 
one single step,
we are justified in thinking that it will 
never take one. The world beyond the experience of the five senses is closed 
to objective investigation, and for this there are quite definite reasons. 
By no means everything that exists can be detected by one of the five 
senses. 
In the ordinary understanding, objective existence is a definite form of 
existence in a very narrow sense, which is very far from exhausting the whole 
of existence. The mistake of positivism con-


sists in the fact that it has recognized as really existing only that which exists 
objectively (as it understands it) and has begun to deny 
even the existence
of all the 
rest. 
What then is objectivity? 
We may define it in this way: owing to the properties of 
our 
perception or owing to 
the 
conditions
under which our mind works, we 
segregate a small number of facts
into 
a definite group. This group of facts represents the objective world and is accessible to 
scientific study. But this group does not by any means represent 
EVERYTHING 
EXISTING. 
Extension in space and extension in time is the first condition of objective existence. 
But the forms of the extension of a thing in space and its existence in time are created 
by the subject perceiving the thing, and do not belong to the thing itself. 
Matter
is first 
of all 
three-dimensional. 
Three-dimensionality is the form of our perception. 
Matter of 
four dimensions
would mean a change in the form of our perception. 
Materiality means the conditions of existence in time and space, i.e. conditions of 
existence under which 
'
two identical 
phenomena cannot take place at the same time and 
in the same place'. This is an exhaustive definition of materiality. It is clear that in the 
conditions known to us, two identical phenomena taking place at the same time and in 
the same place would constitute one phenomenon. But this is obligatory only for the 
conditions of existence we know, i.e. for such matter as we perceive. For the universe 
this is not at all obligatory. We constantly observe in practice conditions of materiality 
in those cases in which we have to create a sequence of phenomena in our life or are 
forced to make a 
selection,
for our matter does not allow of more than a certain definite 
number of phenomena to be contained in a definite interval of time. The need for 
selection
is perhaps the chief 
visible 
sign of materiality. Outside of matter the necessity 
of selection disappears, and if we can imagine a being, capable of feeling, living 
outside the conditions of materiality, such a being will be able to possess 
simultaneously things which, from our point of view, are incompatible, conflicting and 
mutually exclusive; he will be able to be in several places at once; to assume different 
aspects; to perform at the same time contradictory and mutually exclusive actions. 
In speaking of matter it is necessary always to remember that matter is not a 
substance but merely a condition. For example, a man is blind. It is impossible to 
regard blindness as a substance. It is a condition of the existence of the given man. 
Matter is a kind of blindness. 


Objective knowledge can grow indefinitely with the perfection of apparatuses and 
methods of observation and investigation. The only thing it cannot step over is - the 
limits of the three-dimensional sphere, i.e. the conditions of space and time, because it 
is created in those conditions, and the conditions of existence of the three-dimensional 
world constitute its own conditions of existence. Objectively, knowledge will be always 
subject to these conditions, because otherwise it would cease to exist. No apparatus, no 
machine will ever overcome these conditions, for if they do overcome them, by this 
very fact they will, first of all, eliminate themselves. Only
