The Real Essence of Matter 263

For example, one of the
biggest advocates of the
materialist philosophy in the
20th century, an ardent Marx-
ist, George Politzer, gave the
"bus example" as supposedly
a great evidence regarding
this matter. According to
Politzer, philosophers who
espouse the fact that we deal
with the copy of matter in our
brains also run away when
they see a bus bearing down
on them. 208
When another famous
materialist, Johnson, was told
that we are never in contact
with the original matter, he
tried to deny this truth by
giving stones a kick. 209
There are similar exam- Some people accept that when they touch a
bus, they feel the cold metal in their brains. On

the other hand, they do not accept that the

The point where materialists are mistaken is that they think the con-
cept of "perception" only applies to the sense of sight. In fact, all sensations,
such as touch, contact, hardness, pain, heat, cold and wetness also form in
the human brain, in precisely the same way that visual images are formed.
For instance, someone who feels the cold metal of the door as he gets off a
bus, actually "feels the cold metal" in his brain. This is a clear and well-
known truth. As we have already seen, the sense of touch forms in a partic-
ular section of the brain, through nerve signals from the fingertips, for
instance. It is not your fingers that do the feeling. People accept this because
it has been demonstrated scientifically. However, when it comes to the bus
hitting someone, not just to his feeling the metal of the indoor-in other
