Abstract
The present publication is a continuation of the work ‘on the System of the Concepts of Reality’ [46], which appeared earlier in the same series. It is, however, not presented as such a continuation for a definite reason, and familiarity with this previous publication will not presupposed. The reason is following.
Original publication as Über den physikalischen Realitätsbegriff, Zweiter Beitrag zum logischen Empirismus, in Acta fhilosophica Fennica 4 (Helsinki, 1941).
