In this picture there is the scientific world, of objects as they really are in Locke’s time, a world of little particles clinging together to form bigger bodies, each having the primary, scientific, properties. This is the scientific picture. There is also the manifest image: the coloured, smelly, tasty, noisy, warm, or cold world we think of ourselves as inhabiting. But the manifest image is either in or at least largely due to the mind. The scientific world is not.
