1 1| the senses, of denying the real existence of sensible things, 2 1| I ask, whether by their real existence you mean a subsistence 3 1| perceived?~HYL. I mean a real absolute being, distinct 4 1| therefore, if it be allowed a real being, must exist without 5 1| Tell me, Hylas, is this real existence equally compatible 6 1| are more certain of its real existence than we can be 7 1| therefore according to you, any REAL being?~HYL. I own it.~PHIL. 8 1| not denied there is any real heat in bodies. I only say, 9 1| such thing as an intense real heat.~PHIL. But, did you 10 1| degrees of heat were equally real; or, if there was any difference, 11 1| greater were more undoubtedly real than the lesser?~HYL. True: 12 1| Whatever therefore agrees to real sound, may with truth be 13 1| but not to sound in the real and philosophic sense; which, 14 1| other philosophical and real?~HYL. Even so.~PHIL. And 15 1| that, according to you, real sounds may possibly be SEEN 16 1| philosophical paradox, to say that REAL SOUNDS ARE NEVER HEARD, 17 1| that sounds too have no real being without the mind.~ 18 1| PHIL. And have true and real colours inhering in them?~ 19 1| these apparent colours from real?~HYL. Very easily. Those 20 1| suppose, are to be thought real which are discovered by 21 1| prevention: I ask you whether the real and natural state of an 22 1| which best sets forth the real nature of the thing, or 23 1| perceived are more genuine and real than those perceived otherwise.~ 24 1| that, in case colours were real properties or affections 25 1| distance, without any manner of real alteration in the thing 26 1| every body hath its true real colour inhering in it; and, 27 1| BLUE WHICH WE SEE ARE NOT REAL COLOURS, BUT CERTAIN UNKNOWN 28 1| not acknowledged that no real inherent property of any 29 1| proceed next to MOTION. Can a real motion in any external body 30 1| denied them all to have any real existence.~HYL. I wonder, 31 1| Secondary Qualities any real existence should yet attribute 32 1| heat; allowing the one a real existence, while you denied 33 1| I would say they have a real existence without the mind, 34 1| say, when you conceive the real existence of qualities, 35 1| called IDEAS; the other are real things or external objects, 36 1| nevertheless perceived by sight; real things, in themselves imperceptible, 37 1| that, you must hold the real things, or archetypes of 38 1| existence of what you call REAL THINGS OR MATERIAL OBJECTS. 39 1| or organs of sense?~HYL. Real things, it is plain, have 40 1| plain, have a fixed and real nature, which remains the 41 1| which is insensible? Can a real thing, in itself INVISIBLE, 42 1| be like a COLOUR; or a real thing, which is not AUDIBLE, 43 2| no sensible things have a real existence; and that you 44 2| deny sensible things any real existence: that is, according 45 2| conclude, not that they have no real existence, but that, seeing 46 2| a notional to allow it a real existence?~HYL. It cannot 47 2| senses, and, know not the real natures or the true forms 48 2| not upon account of any real efficacy that is in them, 49 3| whereof we can know the real nature, or what it is in 50 3| constitution, their true and real nature, you are utterly 51 3| I not know this to be a real stone that I stand on, and 52 3| see before my eyes to be a real tree?~HYL. KNOW? No, it 53 3| But what is this to the real tree or stone? I tell you 54 3| you perceive, are not the real natures of those things, 55 3| may be said of all other real things, or corporeal substances, 56 3| distinguish the species of real things, by the appearances 57 3| persuaded that you know nothing real in the world? Suppose you 58 3| you, that I know not the real nature of any one thing 59 3| ignorant of the true and real nature of things, but even 60 3| that it is impossible any REAL corporeal thing should exist 61 3| and positively to deny the real existence of any part of 62 3| it is my opinion that the real things are those very things 63 3| insensible, unintelligible, real bread you speak of. It is 64 3| you in earnest think the real existence of sensible things 65 3| by sense, that he terms a real, being, and saith it IS 66 3| be shocking to say, the real tree, existing without his 67 3| not, whether things have a REAL existence out of the mind 68 3| difference is there between real things, and chimeras formed 69 3| perceived by sense, that is, real things, are more vivid and 70 3| know any thing of their real natures—though we both see 71 3| that we know nothing of the real nature of things, and can 72 3| of their existence: that real colours and sounds are nothing 73 3| things, I take to be the real things themselves.~HYL. 74 3| be empty appearances, I, real beings.
