Cos`mo*thet"ic (k?z`m?-th?t"?k), a.
[Gr. ko`smos universe + ??? to place or
arrange.] (Metaph.) Assuming or positing the actual
existence or reality of the physical or external world.
Cosmothetic idealists (Metaph.),
those who assume, without attempting to prove, the reality of
external objects as corresponding to, and being the ground of,
the ideas of which only the mind has direct cognizance.
The cosmothetic idealists . . . deny that
mind is immediately conscious of matter.
Sir W. Hamilton.
