Notes
For the notion of “givenness ” in this sense, cf. A. E. Taylor, Plato, the Man and His Work, 3rd edition (London, 1929), P. 455.
Cf. J. S. Haldane, The Sciences and Philosophy (London, 1929), pp. 326 sq., where structure is described as the expression of a co-ordinated persistence of activity.
