The "unseen" is a term that refers to what is not subject to direct observation by any of the five senses.[1]
Love is an obvious example of something important that is unseen. Intelligence is another example. Additional examples include:
- deterrence
- remarkable migration patterns of butterflies and birds
- Newtonian action-at-a-distance
- the invisible hand
Materialists generally deny the existence of the unseen.
