He defined culture as "a mental phenomenon, consisting of the contents of minds, not of material objects or observable behavior."

This undercuts the motivations for taking a moral realist stance, namely to be able to assert there are reliable moral standards. Others are critical of moral realism because it postulates the existence of a kind of "moral fact" which is nonmaterial and does not appear to be accessible to empirical investigation.Harman, Gilbert, The Nature of Morality : An Introduction to Ethics (Oxford,1977), I.1, "Ethics and observation" Moral truths cannot be observed in the same way as material facts (which are objective), so it seems odd to count them in the same category.

But this is absurd, for whatever is observed must ultimately be the content of our own consciousness, and consequently, nonmaterial.

Charles De Koninck points out that Eddington believed in objective reality existing apart from our minds, but was using the phrase "mind-stuff" to highlight the inherent intelligibility of the world: that our minds and the physical world are made of the same "stuff" and that our minds are the inescapable connection to the world.
