Human knowledge tries to reveal real properties of the outside world. We cannot have direct knowledge of the outside reality through perception. Perception is richer than berkeley and hume said. Perception can only exist in a world of things that is not in contradiction with it. The mind sees a cause-effect sequence wherever possible. Fourth part of metaphysics: ontology study of the universe and its entities, natural theology study of god(s, universal science study of axioms and demonstrations on which theoretical knowledge is based. Wolff: rational psychology based on axioms (self-evident truths) which had to be derived from more fundamental disciplines such as physics and metaphysics. Empirical psychology is based on introspection the mind"s conscious observations of its on activity.
