Should the first thesis in "Transcendental Metaphysics in Outline: Ten Theses" be revised to read as follows?
1.To be real in the most general sense of "reality" which contrasts with "unreality," "mere appearance," or "fiction," is to be real for something else real in the same general sense. (Everything is real for something—in that it is a factor in some becoming—and only nothing is real for nothing.)
