Dialogue

  1 1|     relation to the mind?~HYL. To EXIST is one thing, and to be
  2 1|        allowed a real being, must exist without the mind?~HYL. It
  3 1|         How then can a great heat exist in it, since you own it
  4 1|          a very great heat cannot exist but in a mind perceiving
  5 1|           and painful heat cannot exist without the mind.~PHIL.
  6 1|        sensation; and pain cannot exist but in a perceiving being;
  7 1|           intense heat can really exist in an unperceiving corporeal
  8 1|          in an inferior degree to exist in such a substance.~PHIL.
  9 1|       those degrees of heat which exist only in the mind from those
 10 1|         the mind from those which exist without it?~HYL. That is
 11 1|        know the least pain cannot exist unperceived; whatever, therefore,
 12 1|           Consequently, it cannot exist without the mind in an unperceiving
 13 1|            as those that are, can exist only in a thinking substance;
 14 1|   uneasiness: it cannot therefore exist without the mind; but a
 15 1|        can no more be supposed to exist without the mind, than heat
 16 1|      think you of TASTES, do they exist without the mind, or no?~
 17 1|        those insensible qualities exist in fire and sugar. But what
 18 1|  perceived by the senses), do not exist without the mind?~HYL. I
 19 1|         possible that they should exist in an unperceiving thing?~
 20 1|       qualities, that they cannot exist in any but a perceiving
 21 1|       PHIL. And can any sensation exist without the mind?~HYL. No,
 22 1|         sound, being a sensation, exist in the air, if by the AIR
 23 1|         same colours which we see exist in external bodies, or some
 24 1|   perceived by us, I grant cannot exist without the mind. But in
 25 1|         Rest; and these they hold exist really in bodies. The latter
 26 1|        obliged to think, they too exist only in the mind.~PHIL.
 27 1|       which you perceive by sense exist in the outward object or
 28 1|        anything like an idea, can exist in an unperceiving substance,
 29 1|          than they be supposed to exist in an unthinking subject.~
 30 1|           modifications of motion exist not without the mind, that
 31 1|          or extension in general, exist in any corporeal substance?~
 32 1|         which are acknowledged to exist only in the mind, I will
 33 1|       possible that should really exist in nature which implies
 34 1|        follow, that where the one exist there necessarily the other
 35 1|       there necessarily the other exist likewise?~HYL. It should
 36 1|        though this latter may not exist without the mind, yet it
 37 1|        denied that this tulip may exist independent of your mind
 38 1|       combination of ideas—should exist in an unthinking substance,
 39 1|            And this action cannot exist in, or belong to, any unthinking
 40 1|          such a perception should exist in an unthinking substance?~
 41 1|    including no action in it, may exist in an unperceiving substance?
 42 1|      active as you please, should exist in an unperceiving substance?
 43 1|   conceive how a sensation should exist in an unperceiving substance.
 44 1|       they cannot be conceived to exist.~PHIL. MATERIAL SUBSTRATUM
 45 1|  qualities cannot be conceived to exist without a support.~PHIL.
 46 1|           accidents should really exist, without conceiving at the
 47 1|     things may not be supposed to exist without the mind.~PHIL.
 48 1|          concluded they could not exist without the mind, because
 49 1|      sensible object whatever, to exist without the mind, then I
 50 1|   corporeal sensible thing should exist otherwise than in the mind?~
 51 1|           from sight that figures exist without, when you acknowledge
 52 1|         an idea: and can any idea exist out of the mind?~HYL. To
 53 1|           Now, I own ideas do not exist without the mind; but the
 54 1|   possible such things may really exist. And, as long as there is
 55 1|          you say our ideas do not exist without the mind, but that
 56 1|        anything in them which can exist without the mind: or if
 57 1|          evident that NO IDEA CAN EXIST WITHOUT THE MIND.~PHIL.
 58 2|  perceivable are ideas; and these exist only in the mind. Thus much
 59 2|       that sensible things cannot exist otherwise than in a mind
 60 2|           OTHER MIND WHEREIN THEY EXIST. As sure, therefore, as
 61 2|         SENSIBLE THINGS DO REALLY EXIST; AND, IF THEY REALLY EXIST,
 62 2|        EXIST; AND, IF THEY REALLY EXIST, THEY ARE NECESSARILY PERCEIVED
 63 2|          archetype of an idea can exist otherwise than in a mind.
 64 2|          of the visible world, to exist without a mind? Let any
 65 2|       sensible or imaginable, can exist independent of a Mind, and
 66 2|         in making a created world exist otherwise than in the mind
 67 2|       ideas, and that no idea can exist unless it be in a mind:
 68 2|   themselves or their archetypes, exist independently of my mind,
 69 2|         ears: they must therefore exist in some other Mind, whose
 70 2|         can any idea or sensation exist in, or be produced by, anything
 71 2|      conceivable that they should exist in and be produced by a
 72 2| immediately perceived by sense to exist nowhere without the mind;
 73 2|       SUCH substance can possibly exist? And, though it should be
 74 2|           it should be allowed to exist, yet how can that which
 75 2|         no sensible qualities can exist in an unperceiving substance.~
 76 2|       inconceivable Somewhat doth exist? Is it that you imagine
 77 2|          must it be proved not to exist, before you are content
 78 2|          Or, supposing it did not exist, whether it be not evident
 79 2|    suppose this unknown Matter to exist?~HYL. Oh Philonous! now
 80 2|          manner you suppose it to exist, or what you mean by its
 81 2|        will still say, Matter may exist; though at the same time
 82 2|      aught you know, may actually exist.~PHIL. I deny it to be possible;
 83 3|         thence that bodies really exist. Nay, now I think on it,
 84 3|       REAL corporeal thing should exist in nature.~PHIL. You amaze
 85 3|          the same time not really exist, is to me a plain contradiction;
 86 3|           ideas; and ideas cannot exist without the mind; their
 87 3|        how sensible things should exist without the mind. Do you
 88 3|    perceivable by sense may still exist?~PHIL. I can; but then it
 89 3|           other Mind wherein they exist, during the intervals between
 90 3|       possible that things should exist in His mind? Or, if you
 91 3|     spirit or thinking substance, exist as certainly as I know my
 92 3|      certainly as I know my ideas exist. Farther, I know what I
 93 3|     things, for aught I know, may exist, whereof neither I nor any
 94 3|     although we believe things to exist which we do not perceive,
 95 3|         Spirit. That ideas should exist in what doth not perceive,
 96 3|          nothing inconsistent can exist, and that the existence
 97 3|    PERCEIVED is one thing, and TO EXIST is another.~PHIL. I am content,
 98 3|          an idea? And can an idea exist without being actually perceived?
 99 3|      myself, to wit, that it doth exist out of his mind. But then
100 3|       substance wherein ideas can exist beside spirit is to me evident.
101 3|         but spirit; in which they exist, not by way of mode or property,
102 3|          nor their archetypes can exist otherwise than in an understanding;
103 3|         powers producing them, do exist in a MATERIAL SUBSTRATUM;
104 3|         OUR SENSES, is thought to exist by all mankind; or indeed,
105 3|           unthinking Being should exist without being perceived
106 3|         say that sensible objects exist unperceived, because they
107 3|         or the same thing or idea exist in different minds. Words
108 3|      whether Matter be allowed to exist or no, the case is exactly
109 3|           it must be’ supposed to exist in that Mind which comprehends
110 3|         those trees and houses to exist in your mind. Can extended
111 3|           when bodies are said to exist in a place, or a seal to
112 3|          That all these do really exist, and were in the beginning
113 3|     sensible things, which cannot exist unperceived, or out of a
114 3|       Neither do you pretend they exist without the mind.~HYL. Pray
115 3|     created beings might begin to exist in the mind of other created
116 3|            Did they not therefore exist from all eternity, according
117 3|            But allowing Matter to exist, and the notion of absolute
118 3|          these things I affirm do exist. Though indeed I deny they
119 3|           perceived; or that they exist out of all minds whatsoever.
120 3|        PERCEIVED ARE IDEAS, WHICH EXIST ONLY IN THE MIND. Which
