A. Views Of Sir A. S. Eddington : "':
1. Selective, wubjectiviama :
Sir A. S. Eddington calls the philosophy of science selective subjectivism”, which according to him is quite different from Berkelian subjectivism, which denies all oba. jectivity to the external world. He observes : "In our view : the physical universe is neither wholly subjective nor wholly objective nor a simple mixture of subjective and objective entities or attributes". 1

2. Consciousness-
The Ultimate Realty :
The most evident fact in Eddington's Philosophy is that consciousness is the ultimate reality. He believes that the experience of each individual is primarily the changing content of his consciousness.
Consciousness, according to him, is a succession of tableau accompanied by sensory feelings of various kinds, Memories, Abstract Thoughts, Emotions, etc, Eddington considers 'mind' as the first and most direct thing in our experience and all else as remote inference, 8
The epistemological reason for considering 'consciousness? as the ultimate reality, given by him is that if every element of experience was utterly unlike every other element of experience, there would be no subject matter for either Science or Philosophy. "Progress", he maintains, “depends on recoga nising a common factor in two elements of experience."4 According to him, Physics is based on the fact that there are resemblances between two elements of experience which have the same subject--the consciousness. 1.
