Either way, their characteristics are not constant. ... Collingwood explains the concept of Plato's unreality in The Idea of Nature: The sun, for example, is a dying sun, and this is only a way of saying that it has in it non-solar and indeed anti-solar characteristics, which are by degrees overcoming and ousting its solar characteristics. It is not through and through genuinely a sun; the prevalence in it, just now, of solar characteristics is only a passing phase in an existence that is wholly made up of passing phases. ...
