Because, when any motion is raised in the air, we 2 1| according to the air’s motion; but without some motion 3 1| motion; but without some motion in the air, we never hear 4 1| hear a sound but when some motion is produced in the air, 5 1| air.~HYL. It is this very motion in the external air that 6 1| vibrative or undulatory motion the air.~PHIL. I thought 7 1| sound is really nothing but motion?~HYL. I am.~PHIL. Whatever 8 1| with truth be attributed to motion?~HYL. It may.~PHIL. It is 9 1| then good sense to speak of MOTION as of a thing that is LOUD, 10 1| is nothing but a certain motion of the air?~PHIL. It seems 11 1| And the latter consists in motion?~HYL. I told you so before.~ 12 1| think you, the idea of motion belongs? to the hearing?~ 13 1| only action of bodies is motion; and motion cannot be communicated 14 1| of bodies is motion; and motion cannot be communicated otherwise 15 1| being agitated with a brisk motion, and in various manners 16 1| consequent to each particular motion of the nerves, the mind 17 1| Figure, Solidity, Gravity, Motion, and Rest; and these they 18 1| despatched, we proceed next to MOTION. Can a real motion in any 19 1| next to MOTION. Can a real motion in any external body be 20 1| cannot.~PHIL. Is not the motion of a body swift in a reciprocal 21 1| another seem to perform its motion over any space in half the 22 1| necessarily be granted of motion, solidity, and gravity; 23 1| of extension, figure, and motion affect us with. And, it 24 1| figure. So likewise as to motion; SWIFT and SLOW are altogether 25 1| because those modifications of motion exist not without the mind, 26 1| that therefore absolute motion abstracted from them doth 27 1| it that distinguishes one motion, or one part of extension, 28 1| extension in general, and motion in general.~HYL. Let it 29 1| PARTICULAR. How then can motion in general, or extension 30 1| distinct ABSTRACT IDEA of motion or extension, divested of 31 1| the ideas of extension and motion from the ideas of all those 32 1| to consider extension and motion by themselves, abstracted 33 1| I can pronounce the word MOTION by itself, I can form the 34 1| the ideas of extension and motion from all other sensible 35 1| Do they ever represent a motion, or figure, as being divested 36 1| because I do it by the motion of my hand, which was consequent 37 1| in treating of figure and motion we concluded they could 38 1| certain succession of time and motion.~HYL. Upon the whole, I 39 1| senses, or in the posture and motion of our bodies; which indeed 40 2| connexion is there between a motion in the nerves, and the sensations 41 2| high arch of heaven.

But is not MOTION a sensible quality?~HYL. 44 2| will which produced the motion is active.~PHIL. Now, I 45 2| the first place, whether, motion being allowed to be no action, 46 2| that it hath any figure or motion at all, being already convinced, 47 3| outward physical action or motion, but in the internal deviation 48 3| do not here perceive any motion of the earth: but it were 49 3| should not then perceive its motion.~HYL. I understand you; 50 3| moments or quantities of motion in bodies are in a direct 51 3| with an equal velocity; the motion therefore of descending 52 3| cause or principle of that motion, is proportional to the 53 3| principle that the quantity of motion in any body is proportional 54 3| premise I only mean that the motion is proportional to the velocity, 55 3| according to the laws of motion? and yet, are they able 56 3| account, by the laws of motion, for sounds, tastes, smells,
