Question

Russell appears to be suggesting that if we rely on sense perception alone, the results seem to suggest that a single object (like a table) can possess contrary and inconsistent properties at the same time (that it could be square "and" rectangular, or smooth "and" rough in texture, etc.). And yet reason (or logic) would seem to suggest that no object is actually capable of possessing contrary properties in the same sense at the same time, In his discussion of how sense perception seems to work, how (exactly) does Russell resolve this particular consistency?
