Page 84 - Alius actus potest dici iudicativus, quo intellectus non tantum apprehendit obiectum sed etiam illi assentit vel dissentit. Et iste actus est tantum respectu complexi, quia nulli assentimus per intellectum nisi quod verum reputamus, nec dissentimus nisi quod falsum aestimamus. Et sic patet quod respectu complexi potest esse duplex actus, scilicet actus apprehensivus et actus iudicativus.
Page li - When you have seen one of my days, you have seen a whole year of my life; they go round and round like the blind horse in the mill, only he has the satisfaction of fancying, he makes a progress, and gets some ground; my eyes are open enough to see the same dull prospect, and to know that having made four-andtwenty steps more, I shall be just where I was...

Page 350 - But now take, for instance, redness and blueness, which we naturally call species of colour. If we eliminate all that is meant by colour, nothing whatever is left, or, if we suppose some differentiating element left, it would have to be something different from colour. Thus the difference between red and blue would not be one of colour, whereas it is colour in which they agree and colour in which they differ. We cannot give verbal expression to the differentia which constitutes the species, except...
Page 29 - Our experience of knowing then being the presupposition of any inquiry we can undertake, we cannot make knowing itself a subject of inquiry in the sense of asking what knowing is. We can make knowing a subject of inquiry but not of that kind of inquiry. We can for instance inquire how we come to know in general, or to know in any department of knowledge.
