“The Universe consists of a single matter which I call a substance. This is the unity, or monism.”
Konstantin Tsiolkovsky
“My philosophy”, 1932.
“… Under no circumstances I take our perceptions for precise reflections of the reality. Firstly, we perceive not much of anything existing, secondly, different animals or human beings have their own unique World of perception, which depends on the mechanism and level of their feelings and brains` sophistication (while space is one and the same) and thirdly, this reflection isn`t only incomplete, but also very distorted one. Although, it has little in common with the Universe, but gives some idea about it. The mirrors of different forms reflect ONE and the same OBJECT in different ways. So, the same is with the World that represents different ideas about itself, when reflecting in different brains. But it doesn`t prevent the World from being permenant.”
Konstantin Tsiolkovsky
“Ethics or the natural basis of morality”, 1902-1903.
