And I have subjoined 46 II, XI | faculties of the mind to that of simple ideas, before I come to 47 II, XI | first principally about simple ideas, we might, by following 48 II, XI | how they operate about simple ideas,—which are usually, 49 II, XI | in this place after the simple ideas of sensation. Of compounding, 50 II, XI | comes to have and retain simple ideas, and the modes of 51 II, XI | to examine some of these simple ideas and their modes a 52 II, XII | Made by the mind out of simple ones. We have hitherto considered 53 II, XII | passive, which are those simple ones received from sensation 54 II, XII | the reception of all its simple ideas, so it exerts several 55 II, XII | own, whereby out of its simple ideas, as the materials 56 II, XII | exerts its power over its simple ideas, are chiefly these 57 II, XII | three: (1) Combining several simple ideas into one compound 58 II, XII | bringing two ideas, whether simple or complex, together, and 59 II, XII | in their due places. As simple ideas are observed to exist 60 II, XII | thus made up of several simple ones put together, I call 61 II, XII | though complicated of various simple ideas, or complex ideas 62 II, XII | complex ideas made up of simple ones, yet are, when the 63 II, XII | still confined to those simple ideas which it received 64 II, XII | all its compositions.

Simple and mixed modes of simple 67 II, XII | Simple and mixed modes of simple ideas. Of these modes, there 68 II, XII | combinations of the same simple idea, without the mixture 69 II, XII | together, and these I call simple modes as being contained 70 II, XII | within the bounds of one simple idea.~Secondly, there are 71 II, XII | are others compounded of simple ideas of several kinds, 72 II, XII | are such combinations of simple ideas as are taken to represent 73 II, XII | substance be joined the simple idea of a certain dull whitish 74 II, XII | together, and unites its simple ideas received from sensation 75 II, XIII | Chapter XIII~Complex Ideas of Simple Modes:— and First, of the 76 II, XIII | Modes:— and First, of the Simple Modes of the Idea of Space ~ 77 II, XIII | of the Idea of Space ~1. Simple modes of simple ideas. Though 78 II, XIII | Space ~1. Simple modes of simple ideas. Though in the foregoing 79 II, XIII | part I have often mentioned simple ideas, which are truly the 80 II, XIII | modifications of any one simple idea (which, as has been 81 II, XIII | as has been said, I call simple modes) are as perfectly 82 II, XIII | is made up only of that simple idea of an unit repeated; 83 II, XIII | together make those distinct simple modes, of a dozen, a gross, 84 II, XIII | I shall begin with the simple idea of space. I have showed 85 II, XIII | distance, or space, is a simple mode of this idea. Men, 86 II, XIII | are but so many different simple modes of space.~The same 87 II, XIII | thereby to multiply the simple modes of space.~7. Place. 88 II, XIII | that we call place. As in simple space, we consider the relation 89 II, XIII | Thus the determined idea of simple space distinguishes it plainly 90 II, XIII | always the same uniform simple idea of space, taken from 91 II, XIII | differ little in clear, simple ideas. The knowing precisely 92 II, XIII | examine them, find their simple ideas all generally to agree, 93 II, XIII | those clear and distinct simple ones, out of which they 94 II, XIII | to see which, amongst its simple ones, have or have not a 95 II, XIV | Idea of Duration and its Simple Modes ~1.

Could the mind, as 100 II, XV | such ideas as these, as simple ones: and these are the 101 II, XV | considered by us, as the simple ideas of that kind out of 102 II, XVI | ways, so there is none more simple, than that of unity, or 103 II, XVI | Each mode distinct. The simple modes of number are of all 104 II, XVI | This is not so in other simple modes, in which it is not 105 II, XVI | of more.

In 118 II, XVIII | be observed, that those simple modes which are considered 119 II, XVIII | different degrees of the same simple idea, though they are in 120 II, XVIII | purpose to show, that all our simple ideas come to our minds 121 II, XVIII | yet some others of the simple ideas, viz. those of unity, 122 II, XVIII | as by cohobation all the simple ideas of distilling, and 123 II, XVIII | there are great varieties of simple ideas, as of tastes and 124 II, XX | Pain ~1.

These, like other simple ideas, cannot be described, 127 II, XX | knowing them is, as of the simple ideas of the senses, only 128 II, XX | pleasure and pain, more simple than these; as the pain 129 II, XXI | the alteration of those simple ideas it observes in things 130 II, XXI | possibility of having any of its simple ideas changed, and in another 131 II, XXI | have a place amongst other simple ideas, and be considered 132 II, XXI | volition; yet, it being a very simple act, whosoever desires to 133 II, XXI | them, in life and practice, simple and alone, and wholly unmixed 134 II, XXII | what. Having treated of simple modes in the foregoing chapters, 135 II, XXII | several combinations of simple ideas of different kinds, 136 II, XXII | distinguish them from the more simple modes, which consist only 137 II, XXII | modes, which consist only of simple ideas of the same kind. 138 II, XXII | also such combinations of simple ideas as are not looked 139 II, XXII | mind, in respect of its simple ideas, is wholly passive, 140 II, XXII | being once furnished with simple ideas, it can put them together 141 II, XXII | the existence of several simple ideas so combined, as they 142 II, XXII | consisting of a company of simple ideas combined, they may, 143 II, XXII | words standing for those simple ideas, be represented to 144 II, XXII | that complex combination of simple ideas were never offered 145 II, XXII | by enumerating to him the simple ideas which these words 146 II, XXII | consisting of many distinct simple ideas, it seems reasonable 147 II, XXII | combining those several simple ideas together, and considering 148 II, XXII | considering any number of simple ideas to make one complex 149 II, XXII | several combinations of simple ideas into distinct, and, 150 II, XXII | transient combinations of simple ideas, which have but a 151 II, XXII | putting together of several simple ideas in our own minds: 152 II, XXII | reflection stored our minds with simple ideas, and by use got the 153 II, XXII | so that it has in it no simple ideas but what he knows, 154 II, XXII | ultimately resolvable into simple ideas, of which they are 155 II, XXII | stands for is made of these simple ideas:—(1) Articulate sounds. ( 156 II, XXII | show that it is made up of simple ideas. And it could not 157 II, XXII | enumeration of every particular simple idea that goes to this complex 158 II, XXII | at last be resolved into simple ideas, which are all the 159 II, XXII | an inexhaustible stock of simple modes number and figure 160 II, XXII | combinations of different simple ideas, and their infinite 161 II, XXII | pretend, confined only to simple ideas, received from sensation 162 II, XXII | observing, which of all our simple ideas have been most modified, 163 II, XXII | conceived to flow. These simple ideas, I say, of thinking, 164 II, XXII | but so many collections of simple ideas, which, together, 165 II, XXII | thereupon are produced, or the simple ideas which are introduced 166 II, XXII | the subject wherein any simple idea is changed or produced, 167 II, XXII | mouths of men, yet other simple ideas, and their several 168 II, XXII | compositions made up of simple ideas got from sensation 169 II, XXIII | with a great number of the simple ideas, conveyed in by the 170 II, XXIII | certain number of these simple ideas go constantly together; 171 II, XXIII | talk of and consider as one simple idea, which indeed is a 172 II, XXIII | not imagining how these simple ideas can subsist by themselves, 173 II, XXIII | are capable of producing simple ideas in us; which qualities 174 II, XXIII | collecting such combinations of simple ideas as are, by experience 175 II, XXIII | further than of certain simple ideas co-existent together, 176 II, XXIII | by a collection of those simple ideas which are to be found 177 II, XXIII | substances, besides all those simple ideas they are made up of, 178 II, XXIII | collection of those several simple ideas of sensible qualities, 179 II, XXIII | the substratum to those simple ideas we have from without; 180 II, XXIII | several combinations of simple ideas, coexisting in such, 181 II, XXIII | by such combinations of simple ideas, and nothing else, 182 II, XXIII | combination of those several simple ideas which he has usually 183 II, XXIII | support to those qualities or simple ideas, which he has observed 184 II, XXIII | aggregate of those several simple ideas, bright, hot, roundish, 185 II, XXIII | together, most of those simple ideas which do exist in 186 II, XXIII | capacities, which, though not simple ideas, yet in this respect, 187 II, XXIII | is to produce in us those simple ideas which we receive immediately 188 II, XXIII | these powers amongst the simple ideas which make the complex 189 II, XXIII | potentialities among the simple ideas which we recollect 190 II, XXIII | terminate only in sensible simple ideas. For whatever alteration 191 II, XXIII | collection of a certain number of simple ideas, considered as united 192 II, XXIII | though they are commonly simple apprehensions, and the names 193 II, XXIII | apprehensions, and the names of them simple terms, yet in effect are 194 II, XXIII | all terminate in sensible simple ideas, all united in one 195 II, XXIII | have last spoken,—by the simple ideas we have taken from 196 II, XXIII | probable to me, that the simple ideas we receive from sensation 197 II, XXIII | nothing of things beyond our simple ideas of them. Which we 198 II, XXIII | thinking, they being both but simple ideas, independent one from 199 II, XXIII | would proceed beyond these simple ideas we have from sensation 200 II, XXIII | this is evident, that the simple ideas that make them up 201 II, XXIII | spirits, are made of the simple ideas we receive from reflection: 202 II, XXIII | say, by enlarging those simple ideas we have taken from 203 II, XXIII | of our own selves) God be simple and uncompounded; yet I 204 II, XXIII | being capable of no other simple ideas, belonging to anything 205 II, XXIII | nothing but collections of simple ideas: with a supposition 206 II, XXIII | Secondly, That all the simple ideas, that thus united 207 II, XXIII | we cannot go beyond those simple ideas. And even in those 208 II, XXIII | attain to nothing but those simple ideas, which we originally 209 II, XXIII | Thirdly, That most of the simple ideas that make up our complex 210 II, XXIV | uniting severally either simple or complex ideas into one, 211 II, XXIV | of an aggregate of divers simple ideas, united in one substance. 212 II, XXV | Besides the ideas, whether simple or complex, that the mind 213 II, XXV | since any idea, whether simple or complex, may be the occasion 214 II, XXV | positive: and so not only simple ideas and substances, but 215 II, XXV | is no one thing, whether simple idea, substance, mode, or 216 II, XXV | knowledge of one action, or one simple idea, is oftentimes sufficient 217 II, XXV | commonly hard to know all the simple ideas which are really in 218 II, XXV | easy enough to know the simple ideas that make up any relation 219 II, XXV | and those being all either simple, or made up of simple ones, 220 II, XXV | either simple, or made up of simple ones, it suffices for the 221 II, XXV | Relations all terminate in simple ideas. Thirdly, Though there 222 II, XXV | are concerned about those simple ideas, either of sensation 223 II, XXV | of them are but certain simple ideas, and so originally 224 II, XXV | All relatives made up of simple ideas. Having laid down 225 II, XXV | the others are, only of simple ideas; and that they all, 226 II, XXV | seem, terminate at last in simple ideas. I shall begin with 227 II, XXVI | That which produces any simple or complex idea we denote 228 II, XXVI | wax, fluidity, which is a simple idea that was not in it 229 II, XXVI | degree of heat we call the simple idea of heat, in relation 230 II, XXVI | a certain collection of simple ideas so called, by the 231 II, XXVI | consisting of a collection of simple ideas, quite different from 232 II, XXVI | producing any particular simple idea, or collection of simple 233 II, XXVI | simple idea, or collection of simple ideas, whether substance 234 II, XXVI | any other thing, either simple idea, substance, or mode, 235 II, XXVI | up such a collection of simple ideas, had not any existence 236 II, XXVI | artificial things. When any simple idea is produced, which 237 II, XXVI | new sensible quality or simple idea is produced in either 238 II, XXVI | suffices to consider any simple idea or substance, as beginning 239 II, XXVII | seems easier to conceive in simple substances or modes; yet, 240 II, XXVII | whether spiritual or material, simple or compounded, it matters 241 II, XXVIII| I shall name is some one simple idea, which, being capable 242 II, XXVIII| another, in respect of that simple idea, v.g. whiter, sweeter, 243 II, XXVIII| equality and excess of the same simple idea, in several subjects, 244 II, XXVIII| only conversant about those simple ideas received from sensation 245 II, XXVIII| a collection of several simple ideas, the conformity thereto 246 II, XXVIII| ordering the action, that the simple ideas belonging to it may 247 II, XXVIII| and terminated in, these simple ideas we have received from 248 II, XXVIII| amount to a collection of simple ideas derived from reflection 249 II, XXVIII| the collection of those simple sensible ideas which are 250 II, XXVIII| motion in the man; all which simple ideas are comprehended in 251 II, XXVIII| murder. This collection of simple ideas, being found by me 252 II, XXVIII| made up of collections of simple ideas, which we originally 253 II, XXVIII| of such a collection of simple ideas. Thus drunkenness, 254 II, XXVIII| or such a collection of simple ideas, which I call mixed 255 II, XXVIII| All relations terminate in simple ideas. First, That it is 256 II, XXVIII| ultimately founded on, those simple ideas we have got from sensation 257 II, XXVIII| relations, is nothing but some simple ideas, or collections of 258 II, XXVIII| ideas, or collections of simple ideas, compared one with 259 II, XXVIII| relation terminate in this simple idea, sweetness; which is 260 II, XXVIII| compounded, or decompounded, the simple ideas they are made up of, 261 II, XXVIII| secondly, those sensible simple ideas, signified by the 262 II, XXVIII| effects of it, and all the simple ideas signified by the word 263 II, XXVIII| of it up: first, all the simple ideas, comprehended in the 264 II, XXVIII| examined, in particular simple ideas, of which the word 265 II, XXVIII| but, if removed from all simple ideas quite, it signifies 266 II, XXVIII| remotely, in a collection of simple ideas: the immediate signification 267 II, XXVIII| to another, still end in simple ideas.~19. We have ordinarily 268 II, XXVIII| the relation, as of the simple ideas in things on which 269 II, XXVIII| relation as we have of those simple ideas wherein it is founded: 270 II, XXVIII| being but the distinguishing simple ideas, or their degrees 271 II, XXVIII| much more than those of simple ideas. Because relative 272 II, XXIX | the difference between the simple and the complex; and observed 273 II, XXIX | discernible. In like manner, our simple ideas are clear, when they 274 II, XXIX | as they are made up of simple ones, so they are clear, 275 II, XXIX | number and order of those simple ideas that are the ingredients 276 II, XXIX | causes of obscurity, in simple ideas, seem to be either 277 II, XXIX | Ideas made up of too few simple ones. First, when any complex 278 II, XXIX | of too small a number of simple ideas, and such only as 279 II, XXIX | idea made up of barely the simple ones of a beast with spots, 280 II, XXIX | truly confused.~8. Their simple ones jumbled disorderly 281 II, XXIX | signification.~9. Their simple ones mutable and undetermined. 282 II, XXIX | same precise combination of simple ideas under one name: much 283 II, XXIX | collections, and so variety of simple ones, may accordingly be 284 II, XXX | we shall find that,~2. Simple ideas are all real appearances 285 II, XXX | appearances of things. First, Our simple ideas are all real, all 286 II, XXX | produced by them. And thus our simple ideas are all real and true, 287 II, XXX | fictions at pleasure. For in simple ideas (as has been shown) 288 II, XXX | and can make to itself no simple idea, more than what it 289 II, XXX | passive in respect of its simple ideas; yet, I think, we 290 II, XXX | those being combinations of simple ideas put together, and 291 II, XXX | or left out of his, some simple idea which the other has 292 II, XXX | are such combinations of simple ideas as are really united, 293 II, XXX | up of such collections of simple ideas as were really never 294 II, XXXI | account it is plain,~2. Simple ideas all adequate. First, 295 II, XXXI | adequate. First, that all our simple ideas are adequate. Because, 296 II, XXXI | no power to produce any simple idea); and cannot but be 297 II, XXXI | answer that power: and so all simple ideas are adequate. It is 298 II, XXXI | things producing in us these simple ideas are but few of them 299 II, XXXI | voluntary collections of simple ideas, which the mind puts 300 II, XXXI | to have in it any other simple ideas but what it hath, 301 II, XXXI | certain collections of simple ideas that have been observed 302 II, XXXI | contain in them all the simple ideas that are united in 303 II, XXXI | of any substance all the simple ideas they do know to exist 304 II, XXXI | part, of a few of those simple ideas which are to be found 305 II, XXXI | deficient and inadequate. The simple ideas whereof we make our 306 II, XXXI | inseparable from it.~12. Simple ideas, ektupa, and adequate. 307 II, XXXI | nominal essences:~First, simple ideas, which are ektupa 308 II, XXXI | effect of such a power, that simple idea is real and adequate; 309 II, XXXI | that whatever collection of simple ideas it makes of any substance 310 II, XXXI | being such collections of simple ideas that the mind itself 311 II, XXXII | unintelligibly to others.~9. Simple ideas may be false, in reference 312 II, XXXII | any of them false. But yet simple ideas are least of all liable 313 II, XXXII | satisfy himself what the simple ideas are which their several 314 II, XXXII | mistakes in his names of simple ideas, or applies the name 315 II, XXXII | Whereby it is evident that the simple ideas they call by any name 316 II, XXXII | a precise collection of simple ideas, and so the essence 317 II, XXXII | ideas of substances.~14. Simple ideas in this sense not 318 II, XXXII | false, and why. First, our simple ideas, being barely such 319 II, XXXII | alters not the nature of our simple idea, whether we think that 320 II, XXXII | imputation of falsehood to our simple ideas, if by the different 321 II, XXXII | ourselves to examine it.~16. Simple ideas can none of them be 322 II, XXXII | been said concerning our simple ideas, I think it evident 323 II, XXXII | think it evident that our simple ideas can none of them be 324 II, XXXII | consider them as collections of simple ideas in the mind, taken 325 II, XXXII | taken from combinations of simple ideas existing together 326 II, XXXII | When they put together simple ideas, which in the real 327 II, XXXII | from any collection of simple ideas that do always exist 328 II, XXXII | direct negation, any other simple idea which is constantly 329 II, XXXII | he joins to those other simple ones the idea of perfect 330 II, XXXII | gold being made up of such simple ones as have no union in 331 II, XXXII | it contains not all the simple ideas that are united in 332 II, XXXII | of such a collection of simple ones as nature never puts 333 II, XXXII | united a certain number of simple ideas that do really exist 334 III, I | or absence of some ideas, simple or complex, or all ideas 335 III, II | perhaps the former does to simple ideas and modes, we shall 336 III, III | made up of the remaining simple ones of body, life, and 337 III, III | enumerating the several simple ideas which the next general 338 III, III | made by enumerating those simple ideas that are combined 339 III, III | different collections of simple ideas; and therefore that 340 III, III | and various collection of simple ideas, which the understanding 341 III, III | which any collection of simple ideas co-existing must depend. 342 III, III | nominal essence the same in simple ideas and modes, different 343 III, III | that, in the species of simple ideas and modes, they are 344 III, IV | Chapter IV~Of the Names of Simple Ideas ~1. Names of simple 345 III, IV | Simple Ideas ~1. Names of simple ideas, modes, and substances, 346 III, IV | shall find the names of simple ideas, mixed modes (under 347 III, IV | For example:~2. Names of simple ideas, and of substances 348 III, IV | existence. First, the names of simple ideas and substances, with 349 III, IV | following chapter.~3. Names of simple ideas and modes signify 350 III, IV | Secondly, The names of simple ideas and modes signify 351 III, IV | particular.~4. Names of simple ideas are undefinable. Thirdly, 352 III, IV | undefinable. Thirdly, The names of simple ideas are not capable of 353 III, IV | not a good definition.~7. Simple ideas, why undefinable. 354 III, IV | I say that the names of simple ideas, and those only, are 355 III, IV | thing, can in the names of simple ideas have no place.~8. 356 III, IV | us of some few of these simple ideas. For, as to the greatest 357 III, IV | better succeeded in defining simple ideas, whether by explaining 358 III, IV | Peripatetic definition of a simple idea; which, though not 359 III, IV | this way of trial. For this simple idea, entering by the touch 360 III, IV | sensation itself, in all the simple ideas of one sense, are 361 III, IV | which is properly light.~11. Simple ideas, why undefinable, 362 III, IV | undefinable, further explained. Simple ideas, as has been shown, 363 III, IV | can produce in us no other simple ideas than of those very 364 III, IV | be between them and those simple ideas which common use has 365 III, IV | but exciting in us other simple ideas by their known names; 366 III, IV | and colours, and all other simple ideas, it is the same thing: 367 III, IV | by the proper inlet, the simple idea which any word stands 368 III, IV | of the name of any other simple idea will he have, who hopes 369 III, IV | which, consisting of several simple ones, it is in the power 370 III, IV | definition stand for any such simple ideas, which he to whom 371 III, IV | because several of the simple ideas that make that complex 372 III, IV | definable only when the simple ideas of which they consist 373 III, IV | been got from experience. Simple ideas, as has been shown, 374 III, IV | when any term stands for a simple idea that a man has never 375 III, IV | whatsoever is any name of any simple idea capable of a definition.~ 376 III, IV | definition.~15. Names of simple ideas of less doubtful meaning 377 III, IV | But though the names of simple ideas have not the help 378 III, IV | they, standing only for one simple perception, men for the 379 III, IV | neither a multiplicity of simple ideas to be put together, 380 III, IV | But, on the contrary, in simple ideas the whole signification 381 III, IV | obscure, or uncertain.~16. Simple ideas have few ascents in 382 III, IV | may be observed concerning simple ideas and their names, that 383 III, IV | lowest species being but one simple idea, nothing can be left 384 III, IV | and several other such simple ideas, under one general 385 III, IV | and sounds, and the like simple ideas, they do it by a word 386 III, IV | senses than one.~17. Names of simple ideas not arbitrary, but 387 III, IV | things. Sixthly, The names of simple ideas, substances, and mixed 388 III, IV | some latitude; and those of simple ideas are perfectly taken 389 III, IV | the following chapters.~Simple modes. The names of simple 390 III, IV | Simple modes. The names of simple modes differ little from 391 III, IV | differ little from those of simple ideas. ~ 392 III, V | they differ from those of simple ideas: in which sort the 393 III, V | ties the combination of simple ideas together, and makes 394 III, V | of only a small number of simple ones; and in the species 395 III, V | heard the names of them? In simple ideas and substances I grant 396 III, VI | its own operations, those simple ideas which it attributes 397 III, VI | but attributing the same simple ideas which we have got 398 III, VI | attributing, I say, those simple ideas to Him in an unlimited 399 III, VI | but because having no more simple ideas (nor being able to 400 III, VI | difference, by any number of simple ideas which we have of one 401 III, VI | for such a collection of simple substances, as we have made 402 III, VI | collect such a number of simple ideas as, by examination, 403 III, VI | besides the several distinct simple ideas that make them up, 404 III, VI | and the precise number of simple ideas which make the nominal 405 III, VI | on the precise number of simple ideas or qualities belonging 406 III, VI | what, and how many, those simple ideas are, which are constantly 407 III, VI | signification, a precise number of simple ideas, much less all those 408 III, VI | any substance but of the simple ideas that are united in 409 III, VI | others in several of those simple ideas; we make that collection 410 III, VI | without enumerating the simple ideas that make it up; and 411 III, VI | out or putting in several simple ideas which others do not, 412 III, VI | they are. If the number of simple ideas that make the nominal 413 III, VI | different collection of simple ideas, to which we have 414 III, VI | is signified. Because in simple ideas, modes, and relations, 415 III, VI | actors; and wherein the simple ideas that make up the complex 416 III, VI | a precise combination of simple ideas, different in one 417 III, VI | it being a combination of simple ideas, which he, without 418 III, VI | that one sound, all the simple ideas contained and united 419 III, VI | of combinations of many simple ideas) not to be exactly 420 III, VI | is absent, he puts in no simple idea into his complex one, 421 III, VIII | we shall find that our simple ideas have all abstract 422 III, IX | as names standing for any simple ideas which another has 423 III, IX | understand what the names of simple ideas or substances stand 424 III, IX | imperfectly. Secondly, The simple ideas that are found to 425 III, IX | significations. Because these simple ideas that co-exist, and 426 III, IX | different significations. The simple qualities which make up 427 III, IX | substances, being made up of such simple ones as are supposed to 428 III, IX | existing, which, in some of its simple ideas, does not communicate 429 III, IX | significations.~18. The names of simple ideas the least doubtful. 430 III, IX | viz. that the names of simple ideas are, of all others, 431 III, IX | which the precise number of simple ideas that make them up 432 III, IX | signification of the name of simple ideas. White and sweet, 433 III, IX | what precise collection of simple ideas modesty or frugality 434 III, IX | them.~19. And next to them, simple modes. By the same rule, 435 III, IX | same rule, the names of simple modes are, next to those 436 III, IX | modes are, next to those of simple ideas, least liable to doubt 437 III, IX | but of a few and obvious simple ideas, have usually names 438 III, IX | comprehend a great number of simple ideas, are commonly of a 439 III, IX | if we except the names of simple ideas, and some very obvious 440 III, X | sometimes for one collection of simple ideas, and sometimes for 441 III, X | different collections of simple ideas. If men should do 442 III, X | idea, by adding another simple idea, which is always in 443 III, X | less perfect collection of simple ideas, serves to design 444 III, X | by an enumeration of the simple ones that compose them; 445 III, XI | examining whether all the simple ideas to which, combined 446 III, XI | between them), whether all the simple ideas of the more general 447 III, XI | determined collections of the simple ideas they do or should 448 III, XI | annexes them to, if they be simple, must be clear and distinct; 449 III, XI | the precise collection of simple ideas settled in the mind, 450 III, XI | he at last comes to the simple ideas that make it up: and 451 III, XI | shall see in the names of simple ideas, modes, and substances.~ 452 III, XI | and substances.~14. I. In simple ideas, either by synonymous 453 III, XI | makes use of the name of any simple idea, which he perceives 454 III, XI | the subject wherein that simple idea is to be found, will 455 III, XI | signification of the name of any simple idea, is by presenting to 456 III, XI | made known, as those of simple ideas, by any showing: but, 457 III, XI | enumerating the several simple ideas which the mind has 458 III, XI | in the names of sensible simple ideas, and also to some 459 III, XI | may be said of those other simple ideas, peculiar in their 460 III, XI | But because many of the simple ideas that make up our specific 461 III, XI | known by enumerating those simple ideas, than by showing the 462 III, XI | for such collections of simple ideas as do really exist 463 III, XI | bodies, would set down those simple ideas wherein they observe 464 IV, II | of quantity. But in other simple ideas, whose modes and differences 465 IV, II | differences. For those other simple ideas, being appearances 466 IV, II | different degrees of these simple ideas. For, supposing the 467 IV, II | Particles of light and simple ideas of colour. Whether 468 IV, III | but certain collections of simple ideas united in one subject, 469 IV, III | else but to know what other simple ideas do, or do not co-exist 470 IV, III | Because the connexion between simple ideas in substances is for 471 IV, III | reason whereof is, that the simple ideas whereof our complex 472 IV, III | inconsistency with any other simple ideas, whose co-existence 473 IV, III | we can hardly, from the simple ideas contained in it, certainly 474 IV, III | the precise collection of simple ideas they stand for not 475 IV, III | retained, one angle, i.e. one simple idea, is left out, or put 476 IV, III | down that collection of simple ideas, which every term 477 IV, III | want of ideas.~I. Want of simple ideas that other creatures 478 IV, III | may have. First, all the simple ideas we have are confined ( 479 IV, III | of all things. What other simple ideas it is possible the 480 IV, III | of the rest.~24. Want of simple ideas that men are capable 481 IV, IV | agree with things.~4. As all simple ideas are really conformed 482 IV, IV | things. First, The first are simple ideas, which since the mind, 483 IV, IV | whence it follows, that simple ideas are not fictions of 484 IV, IV | this conformity between our simple ideas and the existence 485 IV, IV | consisting of a collection of simple ideas, supposed taken from 486 IV, IV | of substances whereon our simple ideas depend, and which 487 IV, IV | as are made up of such simple ones as have been discovered 488 IV, IV | existence of things. Whatever simple ideas have been found to 489 IV, V | occasioned by the great number of simple ideas that go to the making 490 IV, VI | of a great collection of simple ones. This makes the consideration 491 IV, VI | bounds it.~This, in all simple ideas and modes, is not 492 IV, VI | are such combinations of simple ones as carry not with them 493 IV, VI | necessary co-existence of simple ideas in substances can 494 IV, VI | colour, weight, or any other simple idea of our complex one, 495 IV, VI | essence of gold and other simple ideas. As there is no discoverable 496 IV, VI | colour, weight, and other simple ideas of that nominal essence 497 IV, VI | idea, nor follow from any simple one contained in it: the 498 IV, VI | since there are but few simple ideas of whose connexion 499 IV, VI | substances contains in it any simple idea, whose necessary existence 500 IV, VII | more general, or the more simple from the more compounded;
