By this means it will be easy Shauna Sand for him to discover the truth or falsity of what I say.. These, I say, Shauna Sand pic assert there are infinitesimals of infinitesimals of infinitesimals, &c., without ever coming to an end; so that according to them an inch does not barely contain an infinite number of parts, but an infinity of an infinity of an infinity ad infinitum of parts.. But it has been made evident that bodies, of what frame or texture soever, are barely passive ideas in the mind, which is Shauna Sand naked more distant and heterogeneous from them than light is from darkness.. But the arguments foregoing plainly shew it to be impossible that any colour or Shauna Sand poster extension at all, or other sensible quality whatsoever, should exist in an unthinking subject without the mind, or in truth, that there should be any such thing as an outward object.. It will perhaps be said that we want a sense (as some have imagined) proper to know substances withal, which, if we had, we might know our own soul as we do a Shauna Sand topless triangle.. For example, does it not require some pains and skill to form the general idea of a triangle (which is yet none of the most abstract, comprehensive, and difficult); for Shauna Sand panties it must be neither oblique nor rectangle, neither equilateral, equicrural, nor scalenon, but all and none of these at once?. But to frame an abstract idea of happiness, prescinded from all particular pleasure, or Shauna Sand upskirt of goodness from everything that is good, this is what few can pretend to.. But Shauna Sand nue our prospects are too narrow.. As for our senses, by them we have the knowledge only of our sensations, ideas, or those things that are immediately perceived by sense, call them what you will: but they do not inform us that things exist without the mind, or unperceived, like to Shauna Sand nude free those which are perceived.. Both which may justly be thought pernicious and absurd Shauna Sand sexy picture notions.. Besides, God seems to choose the convincing our reason of His attributes by Shauna Sand hot the works of nature, which discover so much harmony and contrivance in their make, and are such plain indications of wisdom and beneficence in their Author, rather than to astonish us into a belief of His Being by anomalous and surprising events.. And is not this a direct repugnancy, and altogether Shauna Sand fake inconceivable?. And I do not Shauna Sand porn think that either what philosophers call Matter, or the existence of objects without the mind, is anywhere mentioned in Scripture.. By the former they mean extension, figure, motion, rest, solidity or impenetrability, and number; by the latter they denote all other sensible qualities, as colours, sounds, tastes, and so ShaunaSandfa7 forth.. The only thing whose existence we Shauna Sand deny is that which philosophers call Matter or corporeal substance.. Which one consideration abundantly outbalances whatever Shauna Sand pic particular inconveniences may thence arise.. And, in like manner, by considering motion abstractedly not only from the body moved, but likewise from the figure it describes, and all particular directions and velocities, Shauna Sand naked the abstract idea of motion is framed; which equally corresponds to all particular motions whatsoever that may be perceived by sense.. 60 amounts in reality to no more than this:- ideas are not anyhow and at random produced, there being a certain order and connexion between them, like to that of cause and effect; there are Shauna Sand poster also several combinations of them made in a very regular and artificial manner, which seem like so many instruments in the hand of nature that, being hid as it were behind the scenes, have a secret operation in producing those appearances which are seen on the theatre of the world, being themselves discernible only to the curious eye of the philosopher.. If, therefore, I cannot perceive innumerable parts in any finite extension that I consider, it is certain they are not contained in it; but, it is evident that I cannot distinguish innumerable parts in any particular line, surface, or solid, which I either perceive by sense, or figure to myself Shauna Sand topless in my mind: wherefore I conclude they are not contained in it.. It is but looking into your own thoughts, and so trying whether you can conceive it possible for a sound, or figure, or motion, or colour to exist without the mind or Shauna Sand panties unperceived.. To all which my answer is, first, that the connexion of ideas does not imply the relation of cause and effect, but only of a mark or Shauna Sand upskirt sign with the thing signified.. The generality of men which are simple and illiterate never pretend Shauna Sand nue to abstract notions.. I ask whether Shauna Sand nude free that intelligence hath not all the reason to believe the existence of corporeal substances, represented by his ideas, and exciting them in his mind, that you can possibly have for believing the same thing?. It is, I know, a point much insisted on, that all knowledge and demonstration are about universal notions, to which I fully agree: but then it doth not appear Shauna Sand sexy picture to me that those notions are formed by abstraction in the manner premised- universality, so far as I can comprehend, not consisting in the absolute, positive nature or conception of anything, but in the relation it bears to the particulars signified or represented by it; by virtue whereof it is that things, names, or notions, being in their own nature particular, are rendered universal.. I have no notion of it at all, only I hear others say it is infinitely divisible, and speak of it in such a manner as leads me to entertain odd thoughts of my existence; since that doctrine lays one under an absolute necessity of thinking, either that he passes away innumerable ages without a thought, or else that he is annihilated every moment of his life, both which Shauna Sand hot seem equally absurd.. I must therefore be a Shauna Sand fake substance; but it has been shewn that there is no corporeal or material substance: it remains therefore that the cause of ideas is an incorporeal active substance or Spirit.. Colour, figure, motion, extension, and the like, considered only as so many sensations in the mind, are perfectly known, there being Shauna Sand porn nothing in them which is not perceived.. In answer to all which, I refer the reader to what has been said in sect. 3, 4, &c., and desire he will ShaunaSandfa7 consider whether he means anything by the actual existence of an idea distinct from its being perceived.. Though it must be owned at the same time that we have some notion of soul, spirit, and the operations of the mind: such Shauna Sand as willing, loving, hating- inasmuch as we know or understand the meaning of these words.. They indeed who hold the soul of man to be only a thin vital flame, or system of Shauna Sand pic animal spirits, make it perishing and corruptible as the body; since there is nothing more easily dissipated than such a being, which it is naturally impossible should survive the ruin of the tabernacle wherein it is enclosed.. And this at the bottom is Shauna Sand naked no longer contending for the thing, but for the name.. But, to give a farther account how words came to produce the doctrine of abstract ideas, it must be observed that it is a received opinion that language has no other end but the communicating our Shauna Sand poster ideas, and that every significant name stands for an idea.. The cause of this is thought to be Shauna Sand topless the obscurity of things, or the natural weakness and imperfection of our understandings.. But I Shauna Sand panties believe nobody will say that what he means by the terms soul and substance is only some particular sort of idea or sensation.. To be plain, I own myself able to abstract in one sense, as when I consider some particular parts or qualities separated from others, with Shauna Sand upskirt which, though they are united in some object, yet it is possible they may really exist without them.. are taken in any sense conceivable, that is, for ideas, then to say a finite quantity Shauna Sand nue or extension consists of parts infinite in number is so manifest a contradiction, that every one at first sight acknowledges it to be so; and it is impossible it should ever gain the assent of any reasonable creature who is not brought to it by gentle and slow degrees, as a converted Gentile to the belief of transubstantiation.. That the things I see with my eyes and touch with my hands do exist, Shauna Sand nude free really exist, I make not the least question.. Nay, this is unavoidable, since, propriety being regulated by custom, Shauna Sand sexy picture language is suited to the received opinions, which are not always the truest.. The generality of Shauna Sand hot men which are simple and illiterate never pretend to abstract notions.. Wherever bodies are said to have no existence without the mind, I would Shauna Sand fake not be understood to mean this or that particular mind, but all minds whatsoever.. It is but looking into your own thoughts, and so trying whether you can conceive it possible for a sound, Shauna Sand porn or figure, or motion, or colour to exist without the mind or unperceived.. That there is a great and conspicuous use in these regular constant ShaunaSandfa7 methods of working observed by the Supreme Agent hath been shewn in sect. 31..
