It permits us playfully to fancy that there are hobgoblins round the corner of the door without being unduly disappointed if, on looking, we 88 CONTEMPORARY METAPHYSICS [Ch.IV find nothing there. But, after all, we cannot forget that these make-believe objects and worlds depend on the way in which real minds, real human beings, use the symbols, linguistic and otherwise, which they have fashioned.

To ignore this is to be lacking in that " sense of reality " which, as Russell insists, " is vital in Logic." " Logic, I should maintain, must no more admit a unicorn than zoology can; for logic is concerned with the real world just as truly as zoology, though with its more abstract and general features. To say that unicorns have an existence in heraldry, or in literature, or in imagination, is a most pitiful and paltry evasion. What exists in heraldry is not an animal, made of flesh and blood, moving and breathing of its own initiative.
