1 Int | meant by phantasm, notion, species, or whatever it is which 2 I, III | no distinct and various species of angels, or intelligent 3 I, III | no ideas of such distinct species, or names for them. For, 4 II, III | almost, if not more, than species of bodies in the world, 5 II, IX | discovered in the several species of animals, much less in 6 II, XI | that it is in this that the species of brutes are discriminated 7 II, XVIII | and thereby ranked into species; yet some others of the 8 II, XVIII | them, and so pass not for species. This we shall have occasion 9 II, XXI | the continuation of their species. For I think we may conclude, 10 II, XXII | account of their distinct species of mixed modes, seldom allowing 11 II, XXII | complex idea, nor a distinct species of actions from that of 12 II, XXII | and so they become new species of complex modes. What a 13 II, XXIII | we have of their several species in our minds; and such only 14 II, XXV | the complex idea of the species, man. So likewise, when 15 II, XXVI | of the bigness of several species of things from those we 16 II, XXVIII| is meant that particular species, or collective idea, signified 17 II, XXXI | supposed real essence of each species of things. 2. Sometimes 18 II, XXXI | they are of this or that species: and names standing for 19 II, XXXI | belonging to a particular species of bodies, having a real 20 II, XXXI | substance comes to be of that species, and to be called by that 21 II, XXXI | went into his idea of that species of body; but its peculiar 22 II, XXXI | the complex idea of that species. Which both are but powers; 23 II, XXXI | Some who have examined this species more accurately could, I 24 II, XXXII | to them, into genera and species; i.e. into kinds and sorts.~ 25 II, XXXII | it the knowledge of the species, or the essence of it; whereof 26 II, XXXII | and so the essence of each species being made by men alone, 27 II, XXXII | judges it to agree to a species of creatures really existing; 28 III, I | the Latin names, what the Species and Genera of things are, 29 III, III | And therefore in their own species, which they have most to 30 III, III | whole mystery of genera and species, which make such a noise 31 III, III | the essences of genera and species. The next thing therefore 32 III, III | Latin word pleases better, species of things, are nothing else 33 III, III | having the essence of any species, being that which makes 34 III, III | makes anything to be of that species; and the conformity to the 35 III, III | thing: since to be of any species, and to have a right to 36 III, III | right to the name of that species, is all one. As, for example, 37 III, III | to be a man, or of the species man, and to have right to 38 III, III | to be a man, or of the species man, and have the essence 39 III, III | or have a right to the species man, but what has the essence 40 III, III | has the essence of that species; it follows, that the abstract 41 III, III | and the essence of the species, is one and the same. From 42 III, III | they come to be of that species, have that denomination, 43 III, III | are the essences of those species set out and marked by names, 44 III, III | so that the essences of species, as distinguished and denominated 45 III, III | cannot be the essences of the species we rank things into. For 46 III, III | rank things into. For two species may be one, as rationally 47 III, III | essences be the essence of one species: and I demand what are the 48 III, III | of them to be of another species? In determining the species 49 III, III | species? In determining the species of things by our abstract 50 III, III | precisely ceases to be of the species of a horse or lead.~14. 51 III, III | name, and the boundaries of species) are the workmanship of 52 III, III | the same; no, not in that species which is most familiar to 53 III, III | sorts, or, if you please, species, as essentially different 54 III, III | much busied about genus and species, the word essence has almost 55 III, III | constitution of genus and species. It is true, there is ordinarily 56 III, III | under names into sorts or species, only as they agree to certain 57 III, III | sign.~17. Supposition, that species are distinguished by their 58 III, III | so become of this or that species. The other and more rational 59 III, III | of monsters, in all the species of animals, and of changelings, 60 III, III | which distinguishes the species of things, is so wholly 61 III, III | essences of the sorts or species of things as come within 62 III, III | further observe, that, in the species of simple ideas and modes, 63 III, III | so the essences of those species are preserved whole and 64 III, III | the individuals of those species. By this means the essence 65 III, III | this means the essence of a species rests safe and entire, without 66 III, III | that essence, was of that species. And though there neither 67 III, III | great business of genera and species, and their essences, amounts 68 III, IV | nominal essence of their species. But the names of natural 69 III, IV | nominal essences of those species; as we shall show in the 70 III, IV | call it,) from the lowest species to the summum genus. The 71 III, IV | whereof is, that the lowest species being but one simple idea, 72 III, V | been shewed, for sorts or species of things, each of which 73 III, V | essence. The essences of these species also, as has been shewed, 74 III, V | essences, of the several species of mixed modes, are made 75 III, V | place, these essences of the species of mixed modes are not only 76 III, V | how these essences of the species of mixed modes are the workmanship 77 III, V | consequently, that the species themselves are of men’s 78 III, V | names given them, and so a species be constituted, before any 79 III, V | any one individual of that species ever existed. Who can doubt 80 III, V | given them, and so these species of mixed modes be constituted, 81 III, V | have often made laws about species of actions which were only 82 III, V | that the resurrection was a species of mixed modes in the mind, 83 III, V | the essence of a certain species, without regulating itself 84 III, V | this is made a particular species of action, signified by 85 III, V | essence of the distinct species parricide, whilst the other 86 III, V | other makes no distinct species at all? But, though they 87 III, V | father or mother a distinct species from killing his son or 88 III, V | comprehended in the same species, as in that of incest. Thus 89 III, V | of, to make the distinct species called stabbing, and the 90 III, V | and that, therefore, these species of mixed modes are the workmanship 91 III, V | making therefore of the species of mixed modes, men have 92 III, V | and so make a distinct species from killing a man’s son 93 III, V | name, and so a distinct species, and the other not; yet, 94 III, V | name, and reckoning of one species, such unclean mixtures as 95 III, V | not have happened if these species were the steady workmanship 96 III, V | significations.~9. This shows species to be made for communication. 97 III, V | mistaken about genera and species, and their essences, as 98 III, V | signification of the word species may make it sound harsh 99 III, V | to some, that I say the species of mixed modes are “made 100 III, V | boundaries of the sort or species; since with me species and 101 III, V | or species; since with me species and sort have no other difference 102 III, V | together, and makes it a species. The near relation that 103 III, V | relation that there is between species, essences, and their general 104 III, V | and deliver to us as one species! Had this name been never 105 III, V | who look upon essences and species as real established things 106 III, V | imagine or take any other for species of them, but such as are 107 III, V | order to naming, no such species are taken notice of, or 108 III, V | were, established, and the species looked on as complete. For 109 III, V | looked on as no distinct species of action; but if the point 110 III, V | it passes for a distinct species, where it has a distinct 111 III, V | passes not for a distinct species. But in the species of corporeal 112 III, V | distinct species. But in the species of corporeal substances, 113 III, V | are looked on as distinct species, without any operation of 114 III, V | concerning the essences of the species of mixed modes, that they 115 III, V | that these essences of the species of mixed modes are by a 116 III, V | simple ones; and in the species of animals, these two, viz. 117 III, V | the real essences of their species. For, these abstract ideas 118 III, V | all the properties of the species depend, and from which alone 119 III, V | Because there being no species of these ordinarily taken 120 III, V | what have names, and those species, or rather their essences, 121 III, VI | if you please, genera and species of things (for those Latin 122 III, VI | boundary of each sort or species, whereby it is constituted 123 III, VI | the nominal essence of the species so called: yet nobody will 124 III, VI | in our definition of that species, be it what it will: and 125 III, VI | refers it to some sort or species of things; and then presently, 126 III, VI | the consideration of some species, or the complex idea signified 127 III, VI | and rank it under that species. So that essential and not 128 III, VI | cannot be ranked under that species, nor be called by that name; 129 III, VI | the very essence of that species.~5. The only essences perceived 130 III, VI | essence and standard of a species? All such patterns and standards 131 III, VI | or as being of a certain species. And if, as has been said, 132 III, VI | them, are the boundaries of species, nothing can be essential 133 III, VI | to a sort, and supposes a species. For, being that real constitution 134 III, VI | properties belonging only to species, and not to individuals: 135 III, VI | annexes them still to the species is the nominal essence, 136 III, VI | nominal essence bounds the species for us. The next thing to 137 III, VI | determined into sorts or species; and that, it is evident, 138 III, VI | stand for.~8. The nature of species, as formed by us. And that 139 III, VI | formed by us. And that the species of things to us are nothing 140 III, VI | received as being of one species, have yet qualities, depending 141 III, VI | they are bodies of the same species, having the same nominal 142 III, VI | were distinguished into species, according to their real 143 III, VI | individual substances of the same species, as it is to find different 144 III, VI | to try his skill in those species called cassiowary and querechinchio; 145 III, VI | the boundaries of those species, without knowing the complex 146 III, VI | taught that the several species of substances had their 147 III, VI | substances into their true species and genera, were led yet 148 III, VI | only whereby we distinguish species of substances, further evident, 149 III, VI | natural substances into species consists in the nominal 150 III, VI | that there are different species of angels; yet we know not 151 III, VI | that the existence of more species than one of spirits is impossible; 152 III, VI | conceptions the several species of spirits, one from another, 153 III, VI | are probably numberless species, in a continuous series 154 III, VI | that there may be many species of spirits, as much separated 155 III, VI | we have no ideas, as the species of sensible things are distinguished 156 III, VI | That there should be more species of intelligent creatures 157 III, VI | everywhere that the several species are linked together, and 158 III, VI | the Architect, that the species of creatures should also, 159 III, VI | that there are far more species of creatures above us than 160 III, VI | yet of all those distinct species, for the reasons above said, 161 III, VI | nominal essence that of the species, as conceived by us, proved 162 III, VI | ice. But to return to the species of corporeal substances. 163 III, VI | water were two distinct species of things, I doubt not but 164 III, VI | says they are two distinct species is in the right. But if 165 III, VI | whether this would be a new species to him, different from water? 166 III, VI | would not be to him a new species, no more than congealed 167 III, VI | it is cold, is a distinct species from the same jelly fluid 168 III, VI | the furnace is a distinct species from hard gold in the hands 169 III, VI | plain that our distinct species are nothing but distinct 170 III, VI | the ranking of things into species (which is nothing but sorting 171 III, VI | distinguished by nature into species, by real essences, according 172 III, VI | we distinguish them into species by names, we shall be liable 173 III, VI | substantial beings into species, according to the usual 174 III, VI | nature distinguished into species, these things are necessary:—~ 175 III, VI | monsters really a distinct species? Thirdly, It ought to be 176 III, VI | monsters be really a distinct species, according to the scholastic 177 III, VI | scholastic notion of the word species; since it is certain that 178 III, VI | accompany, the essence of that species from whence, they derive 179 III, VI | which we distinguish into species, and as so distinguished 180 III, VI | distinguishing substances into species.~19. Our nominal essences 181 III, VI | thereby distinguish them into species. But neither can this be 182 III, VI | the thing is not of that species. We can never know what 183 III, VI | by that determined that species. By the word gold here, 184 III, VI | distinguishing substances into species by names, is not at all 185 III, VI | determine them exactly into species, according to internal essential 186 III, VI | to us the measures of the species we make: instance in that 187 III, VI | men or no, all of human species? it is plain, the question 188 III, VI | whilst our measures of species be, as they are, only our 189 III, VI | different real constitutions and species between a changeling and 190 III, VI | pretend that distinction of species or sorts is fixedly established 191 III, VI | constitutions of things.~23. Species in animals not distinguished 192 III, VI | keeps the supposed real species distinct and entire. For, 193 III, VI | in the distinction of the species of things no further than 194 III, VI | by drills; and what real species, by that measure, such a 195 III, VI | by the pedigree of what species every animal’s issue is; 196 III, VI | name. But further, if the species of animals and plants are 197 III, VI | nominal essence of any one species of substances in all men 198 III, VI | thereby one essence of the species man; and he that, upon further 199 III, VI | has another essence of the species he calls man: by which means 200 III, VI | essential difference of the species man; and yet how far men 201 III, VI | made essential to the human species. The learned divine and 202 III, VI | other essence of the human species. Monsieur Menage furnishes 203 III, VI | being excluded out of the species of man, barely by his shape. 204 III, VI | unmovable boundaries of that species? It is plain, if we examine, 205 III, VI | limit and distinguish the species of substances, were not 206 III, VI | substances into certain species. Who would undertake to 207 III, VI | undertake to resolve what species that monster was of which 208 III, VI | uncertain are the boundaries of species of animals to us, who have 209 III, VI | certain boundaries of that species are so far from being determined, 210 III, VI | part, that determines the species. And therefore in vegetables 211 III, VI | allowed him to be of the same species with himself. As in vegetables 212 III, VI | presumptive ideas of several species, that in a good picture, 213 III, VI | much stir about genus and species, and such a deal of talk 214 III, VI | that these boundaries of species are as men, and not as Nature, 215 III, VI | the making of determinate species, being in order to naming 216 III, VI | sets the boundaries of the species of things: or, if it be 217 III, VI | be so, our boundaries of species are not exactly conformable 218 III, VI | obvious appearances, into species, that we may the easier 219 III, VI | name for.~31. Essences of species under the same name very 220 III, VI | minds. But however these species of substances pass well 221 III, VI | nominal essence of the lowest species, or first sorting, of individuals, 222 III, VI | whole business of genera and species, the genus, or more comprehensive, 223 III, VI | conception of what is in the species; and the species but a partial 224 III, VI | in the species; and the species but a partial idea of what 225 III, VI | in all these genera and species, or sorts, we should find 226 III, VI | partial conception of the species comprehended under it. So 227 III, VI | proper business of genus and species: and this men do without 228 III, VI | much of the nature of that species of birds before I learned 229 III, VI | alone that make different species, it is plain that they who 230 III, VI | essences do thereby make the species, or sort. Should there be 231 III, VI | whether it were of that species. This could be determined 232 III, VI | him, and belong to that species, who included not malleableness 233 III, VI | be true gold, or of that species, to him who included malleableness 234 III, VI | that makes these diverse species, even under one and the 235 III, VI | is annexed that makes the species: and as any particular parcel 236 III, VI | to it; and it is of that species. And thus anything is true 237 III, VI | which determination of the species, it is plain, depends on 238 III, VI | distinguishes them into species; it is men who, taking occasion 239 III, VI | whole business of genus and species.~37. The manner of sorting 240 III, VI | that the boundaries of the species, whereby men sort them, 241 III, VI | since the essences of the species, distinguished by different 242 III, VI | to it, makes a distinct species. But who can help it, if 243 III, VI | somebody can show us the species of things limited and distinguished 244 III, VI | hound are not as distinct species as a spaniel and an elephant. 245 III, VI | names.~39. How genera and species are related to naming. How 246 III, VI | How much the making of species and genera is in order to 247 III, VI | least to the completing of a species, and making it pass for 248 III, VI | striking watch are but one species to those who have but one 249 III, VI | to him they are different species. It will be said perhaps, 250 III, VI | is plain they are but one species to him, when he has but 251 III, VI | contrivance to make a new species? There are some watches 252 III, VI | name comprehend different species under it, they are not essentially 253 III, VI | prevail; they will then be new species, to them who have those 254 III, VI | they would be no distinct species to men ignorant of clock-work, 255 III, VI | neither of those be a man.~40. Species of artificial things less 256 III, VI | see the reason why, in the species of artificial things, there 257 III, VI | of the names whereby the species of artificial things are 258 III, VI | Artificial things of distinct species. I must be excused here 259 III, VI | artificial things are of distinct species as well as natural: since 260 III, VI | watch and pistol as distinct species one from another, as a horse 261 III, VI | usual abstract idea of that species; and so cross my purpose. 262 III, VI | supposed real essences and species of things, as thought to 263 III, VI | make plain the nature of species or sorting of things, as 264 III, VI | essences belonging to those species: which is perhaps of more 265 III, VI | names to them, two distinct species of actions essentially different; 266 III, VI | essences of these two distinct species of actions? And it is plain 267 III, VI | were the essences of the species distinguished by those names. 268 III, VI | these words as names of species already established and 269 III, VI | one.~46. Instances of a species of substance named Zahab. 270 III, VI | will deny to be a distinct species, and to have its peculiar 271 III, VI | zahab is the mark of the species, and a name belonging to 272 III, VI | part of the essence of the species that name Zahab stands for? 273 III, VI | so be the essence of the species marked by that name. Which 274 III, VI | Therefore to fix their nominal species, a real essense is supposed. 275 III, VI | essence belonging to every species, from which these properties 276 III, VI | would have their name of the species stand for that. But they, 277 III, VI | men do when they speak of species of things, as supposing 278 III, VI | having the real essence of a species of things made by nature. 279 III, IX | and admit to be of that species, or to be comprehended under 280 III, X | of a vacuum, intentional species, &c., are something real? 281 III, X | Peripatetick forms and intentional species have heretofore done.~15. 282 III, X | for the real essence of a species, and would signify that “ 283 III, X | substances not to change their species. This shows us the reason 284 III, X | thing, i.e. to be of another species, as is plain in chance-medley, 285 III, X | think that therefore the species is changed: because they 286 III, X | thought to have changed the species; but only to have a more 287 III, X | the real essence of that species of bodies, the word gold ( 288 III, X | in setting boundaries to species. That which I think very 289 III, X | for the real essences of species, is the supposition before 290 III, X | boundaries to each of those species, by giving exactly the same 291 III, X | firmly imagine the several species of things to be determined 292 III, X | it the real essence of a species of things which he supposes 293 III, X | they are distinguished into species. That everything has a real 294 III, X | makes not the distinction of species as we rank them, nor the 295 III, X | the real essence of the species man, if we did not suppose 296 III, XI | the real essence of each species is to be known, they being 297 III, XI | we have of their distinct species, both the forementioned 298 III, XI | our complex idea of that species annexed, we forwardly give 299 III, XI | distinguishing idea of that species. These leading or characteristical ( 300 III, XI | seems more to determine that species, than a faculty of reasoning, 301 III, XI | ideas of their distinct species; or else learn them from 302 IV, III | substances. For our ideas of the species of substances being, as 303 IV, III | our complex idea of any species of substances be what it 304 IV, III | faculties, therefore, other species of creatures have to penetrate 305 IV, III | concerns their different species and properties we are in 306 IV, IV | thus it is of all other species of things, which have no 307 IV, IV | made the essence of that species to which that name belongs; 308 IV, IV | our thoughts to names or species supposed set out by names. 309 IV, IV | beast, stand for distinct species so set out by real essences, 310 IV, IV | there can come no other species between them: whereas if 311 IV, IV | of man or beast, and be a species of an animal between, or 312 IV, IV | them according to names and species of our contrivance. And 313 IV, IV | the whole essence of the species of man (as they make it) 314 IV, IV | imaginations of settled and fixed species in nature, we know not what. 315 IV, IV | against; by constituting a species between man and beast. For 316 IV, IV | quit the common notion of species and essences, if we will 317 IV, IV | about them.~17. Words and species. I have mentioned this here, 318 IV, IV | cautious that words and species, in the ordinary notions 319 IV, IV | retained the opinion, that species and their essences were 320 IV, VI | the real essence of each species mentioned is not known. 321 IV, VI | bounds and extent of the species its terms stand for, it 322 IV, VI | know the essence of each species, which is that which constitutes 323 IV, VI | or can be supposed of the species, there can be no doubt how 324 IV, VI | be no doubt how far the species extends, or what things 325 IV, VI | determine, and bound the species, the extent of the general 326 IV, VI | or what is not of that species; and, consequently, what 327 IV, VI | man, or gold, or any other species of natural substances, as 328 IV, VI | it is made to be of that species, we cannot be certain of 329 IV, VI | this sense, and used for species of things constituted by 330 IV, VI | and the extent of these species, with such boundaries, are 331 IV, VI | as the boundary of each species, and men extend the application 332 IV, VI | mistake the bounds of each species, nor can be in doubt, on 333 IV, VI | the terms of essences, and species, on purpose to show the 334 IV, VI | them. To suppose that the species of things are anything but 335 IV, VI | wrong notions of essences or species having got root in most 336 IV, VI | whenever made to stand for species which are supposed to be 337 IV, VI | no idea at all, whatever species that supposed real essence 338 IV, VI | ideas that our names of the species of substances properly stand 339 IV, VI | term gold to stand for a species of things set out by nature, 340 IV, VI | particular substances are of that species; and so cannot with certainty 341 IV, VI | he makes gold stand for a species determined by its nominal 342 IV, VI | consequently the essence of our species, man, we can make but very 343 IV, VIII | genus is predicated of the species, or more comprehensive of 344 IV, VIII | less comprehensive, called species, or individuals, are barely 345 IV, XI | abstract idea of such a species, whereof I am one particular. 346 IV, XII | nominal essences of their species, were pursued in the way 347 IV, XII | the real essence of any species of bodies, it helps me not 348 IV, XII | knowledge concerning the species of bodies and their several 349 IV, XII | and properties of whole species together. Where our inquiry 350 IV, XII | perfectly determine the species; and each of those simple 351 IV, XVI | precisely which is the lowest species of living things, and which 352 IV, XVIII | any one, supernaturally, a species of creatures inhabiting, 353 IV, XX | constitute the bodies of any species of animals: in these and
