Hence, as Leclerc implies, an actual entity's prehension of a
common element of form is not simply a
subjective «
perception» of that form for its own concrescence, but simultaneously an active correlating of itself with other actual entities in that society so as to constitute a new reality, a higher level of existence and activity.
This conformal, non-orginative phase of experience, which «merely transforms the objective content into
subjective feelings,» is said to be «
common to all modes of
perception» (PR 179, 250).
