11-12SENSATIONALISM (Leo)
[9] Dualism may talk of world purposes and natural purposes. Wherever there is a systematic linking of cause and effect for our perception, the dualist may assume that we see only the carbon copy of a connection in which the absolute cosmic Being has realized its purposes. For monism, with the rejection of an absolute cosmic Being -- never experienced but only hypothetically inferred -- all ground for assuming purposes in the world and in nature also falls away.
