Dialogue

 1 1|          book, what I immediately perceive are the letters; but mediately,
 2 1|            And when by my touch I perceive a thing to be hot and heavy,
 3 1|          that in truth the senses perceive nothing which they do not
 4 1|         nothing which they do not perceive IMMEDIATELY: for they make
 5 1|            whether we immediately perceive by sight anything beside
 6 1|         degrees of heat, which we perceive; or is there any reason
 7 1|        Whatever degree of heat we perceive by sense, we may be sure
 8 1|        hand near the fire, do you perceive one simple uniform sensation,
 9 1|          a very great cold, is to perceive a great uneasiness: it cannot
10 1|        application to our own, we perceive a moderate degree of heat,
11 1|         THE THINGS WE IMMEDIATELY PERCEIVE BY OUR SENSES. Whatever
12 1|        qualities which you do not perceive, and assert those insensible
13 1|          than that divers persons perceive different tastes in the
14 1|          the same smells which we perceive in them?~HYL. By no means.~
15 1|          is raised in the air, we perceive a sound greater or lesser,
16 1|          the sound we immediately perceive, and that which exists without
17 1|      anything visible but what we perceive by sight?~HYL. There is
18 1|          is not.~PHIL. And, do we perceive anything by sense which
19 1|          by sense which we do not perceive immediately?~HYL. How often
20 1|           are by nature framed to perceive those things which by reason
21 1|       that none of those which we perceive are really inherent in any
22 1|          is it possible for us to perceive them? For no external body
23 1|           and extension which you perceive by sense exist in the outward
24 1|      should be enabled by them to perceive their own limbs, and those
25 1|    extension, which we can either perceive, or imagine, or have any
26 1|    subsist in that which doth not perceive it.~HYL. I give up the point
27 1|      which is all you immediately perceive, is not in the body; but
28 1|           more there is—as that I perceive such a particular smell,
29 1|        looking on this flower you perceive WHITE rather than any other
30 1|          at a distance? Do we not perceive the stars and moon, for
31 1|         Do you not in a dream too perceive those or the like objects?~
32 1|       thing which you immediately perceive, neither sense nor reason
33 1|    visible object you immediately perceive exists at a distance, or
34 1|       object, what object I shall perceive after having passed over
35 1|       from the ideas you actually perceive by sight, you have by experience
36 1|      inform me, Philonous, can we perceive or know nothing beside our
37 1|         can best tell whether you perceive anything which is not immediately
38 1|         be said after a manner to perceive him (though not immediately)
39 1|           acceptation, be said to perceive sensible things mediately
40 1|        the streets, immediately I perceive only the sound; but, from
41 1|      MATERIAL BEINGS. Whatever we perceive is perceived immediately
42 1|    perfectly; since what I do not perceive or know can be no part of
43 2|   sensible world is that which we perceive by our several senses; and
44 2|         material things, so as to perceive them in themselves; but
45 2|         evident that the things I perceive are my own ideas, and that
46 2|          in myself, inasmuch as I perceive numberless ideas; and, by
47 2|        THE SENSIBLE IMPRESSIONS I PERCEIVE. AND, from the variety,
48 2|          the premises, you do not perceive that to suppose any efficient
49 2|        PHIL. Do you not at length perceive that in all these different
50 2|          MATTER.~PHIL. Either you perceive the being of Matter immediately
51 2|           which of the senses you perceive it. If mediately, let me
52 2|       from those things which you perceive immediately. So much for
53 2|           it is possible we might perceive all things just as we do
54 2|       qualities, or ideas, that I perceive, imagine, or in anywise
55 2|           expected on a sudden to perceive clearly, and adhere firmly
56 3|           and hardness, which you perceive, are not the real natures
57 3|          cannot be denied that we perceive such certain appearances
58 3|       things I see, and feel, and perceive by my senses. These I know;
59 3|      intuitively, though I do not perceive it as I perceive a triangle,
60 3|           do not perceive it as I perceive a triangle, a colour, or
61 3|          the Deity. And, though I perceive Him not by sense, yet I
62 3|         yourself. For you neither perceive Matter objectively, as you
63 3|          to exist which we do not perceive, yet we may not believe
64 3|     should exist in what doth not perceive, or be produced by what
65 3|           an idea of it. I do not perceive it as an idea, or by means
66 3|            one and the same self, perceive both colours and sounds:
67 3|      sounds: that a colour cannot perceive a sound, nor a sound a colour:
68 3|          you, because he does not perceive it. What he perceives by
69 3|         of any one thing that you perceive.~HYL. But still, Philonous,
70 3|       both see and feel them, and perceive them by all our senses?~
71 3|  substances (meaning the things I perceive by my senses); and that,
72 3|         out of the water he shall perceive the same crookedness; or
73 3| Copernican system. We do not here perceive any motion of the earth:
74 3|       planets, we should not then perceive its motion.~HYL. I understand
75 3|         WILL. Again, the things I perceive must have an existence,
76 3|   asserted that whatever ideas we perceive from without are in the
77 3|           the appearances which I perceive by my senses.~PHIL. And
78 3|   SOMETHING DISTINCT FROM WHAT WE PERCEIVE BY OUR SENSES, is thought
79 3|  paradoxes. That the qualities we perceive are not on the objects:
80 3|            agree in this, that we perceive only sensible forms: but
81 3|  microscope, it is not that I may perceive more clearly what I perceived
82 3|         your opinion the ideas we perceive by our senses are not real
83 3|     opinion that by our senses we perceive only the ideas existing
84 3|        that different persons may perceive the same thing; or the same
85 3|    possible for divers persons to perceive the same thing. But whether
86 3|   acknowledge what we immediately perceive by our senses to be our
87 3|         they may truly be said to perceive the same thing.~PHIL. And (
88 3|         Do you say the things you perceive are in your mind?~PHIL.
89 3|     supposition there were MEN to perceive them; without which they
90 3|        senses; whatever you could perceive, imagine, or understand,
91 3|           THINGS THEY IMMEDIATELY PERCEIVE ARE THE REAL THINGS; and
