  9    Int        |           first rise to this Essay concerning the understanding. For I
 10    Int        |           thought necessary to say concerning the occasion of this Inquiry
 11      I,  I    |         and evident, but which are concerning ideas not so soon or so
 12      I,  II   |            it is much more visible concerning practical Principles, that
 13      I,  II   |          great variety of opinions concerning moral rules which are to

 15      I,  II   |            which is the right. But concerning innate principles, I desire
 16      I,  III  |           III~Other considerations concerning Innate Principles, both
 17      I,  III  |           far. The same may happen concerning the notions we have of the
 18      I,  III  |            inquiry of the doubtful concerning all that was once styled
 19      I,  III  |        freely his own conjectures, concerning a subject lying somewhat
 20     II,  II   |           carefully to be observed concerning the ideas we have; and that
 21     II,  IV   |           trumpet, could discourse concerning scarlet colour with the
 22     II,  VIII |        Some further considerations concerning our Simple Ideas of Sensation ~
 23     II,  VIII |       ideas from privative causes. Concerning the simple ideas of Sensation,
 24     II,  VIII |        qualities. What I have said concerning colours and smells may be
 25     II,  IX   |       which (if one may conjecture concerning things not very capable
 26     II,  IX   |            are further to consider concerning perception, that the ideas
 27     II,  X    |          Ideas fade in the memory. Concerning the several degrees of lasting,
 28     II,  X    |            can scarce be lost. But concerning the ideas themselves, it
 29     II,  X    |         further is to be observed, concerning ideas lodged in the memory,
 30     II,  XI   |         come to what I have to say concerning complex ones, for these
 31     II,  XI   |         them.~These are my guesses concerning the means whereby the understanding
 32     II,  XIII |           whatever men shall think concerning the existence of a vacuum,
 33     II,  XIII |            confusion in discourses concerning this matter, it were possibly
 34     II,  XVII | perpetually involve all discourses concerning infinity,—whether of space,
 35     II,  XXI  |        introducing into discourses concerning the mind, with the name
 36     II,  XXI  |           is to act what he wills. Concerning a man’s liberty, there yet,
 37     II,  XXI  |           avoid some determination concerning them, let the consideration
 38     II,  XXI  |       judgment pronouncing wrongly concerning them. To see how far this
 39     II,  XXI  |           wrong judgment, which is concerning good or evil, as it is considered
 40     II,  XXI  |           last inquiry, therefore, concerning this matter is,—Whether
 41     II,  XXI  |          in thinking. True notions concerning the nature and extent of

 43     II,  XXIII|           one will examine himself concerning his notion of pure substance
 44     II,  XXIII|             The same thing happens concerning the operations of the mind,
 45     II,  XXIII|        rest of men could discourse concerning the objects of sight, or
 46     II,  XXIII|         before him so wild a fancy concerning the ways of perception of

 48     II,  XXIII|           it? And the like, I say, concerning thinking and voluntary motion.
 49     II,  XXV  |        things capable of relation. Concerning relation in general, these
 50     II,  XXV  |          further may be considered concerning relation, that though it
 51     II,  XXV  |           laid down these premises concerning relation in general, I shall

 53     II,  XXVII|     continued train of succession, concerning their diversity there can
 54     II,  XXVII|           difficulties, especially concerning personal identity, which
 55     II,  XXVII|     ordinarily now do (in the dark concerning these matters), the soul
 56     II,  XXIX |           few other considerations concerning them.~The first is, that
 57     II,  XXIX |          discourse and demonstrate concerning that part of his complex
 58     II,  XXIX |            disputes and reasonings concerning eternity, or any other infinite,
 59     II,  XXX  |          we have already mentioned concerning ideas, other considerations
 60     II,  XXXII|           very apt tacitly to make concerning its own ideas. But yet,
 61     II,  XXXII|           is chiefly, if not only, concerning its abstract complex ideas.
 62     II,  XXXII|            or false. And thus much concerning the truth and falsehood
 63     II,  XXXII|            From what has been said concerning our simple ideas, I think
 64    III,  I    |        with any clearness or order concerning knowledge: which, being
 65    III,  II   |            ideas of their objects. Concerning words, also, it is further
 66    III,  III  |            real essences, useless. Concerning the real essences of corporeal
 67    III,  III  |            But it is far otherwise concerning that parcel of matter which
 68    III,  III  |         appear by what we are told concerning essences, viz. that they
 69    III,  IV   |            further may be observed concerning simple ideas and their names,
 70    III,  V    |         also to what has been said concerning the essences of the species
 71    III,  V    |        since what I have here said concerning Words in this third Book,
 72    III,  V    |         what I have further to say concerning this matter.  ~
 73    III,  VI   |         But if the inquiry be made concerning the supposed real essence;
 74    III,  VI   |       several men were to be asked concerning some oddly shaped foetus,
 75    III,  VI   |           what has been said above concerning ice and water, in a very
 76    III,  VI   |          is further to be observed concerning substances, that they alone
 77    III,  IX   |             or familiar discourse, concerning honour, faith, grace, religion,
 78    III,  IX   |        gold, may make propositions concerning gold, and draw consequences
 79    III,  IX   |           little in their opinions concerning some fluid and subtle matter,
 80    III,  IX   |            clearly and pertinently concerning knowledge: which being conversant
 81    III,  X    |           when they come to reason concerning either their tenets or interest,
 82    III,  X    |          and books of philosophers concerning materia prima; which imperfection
 83    III,  X    |         substances. In our notions concerning Substances, we are liable
 84    III,  XI   |          then it is a real inquiry concerning the nature of a bird or
 85     IV,  I    |             Thus when we pronounce concerning gold, that it is fixed,
 86     IV,  I    |          the inquiries we can make concerning any of our ideas, all that
 87     IV,  I    |         that we know or can affirm concerning any of them, is, That it
 88     IV,  I    |       demonstrated any proposition concerning one triangle or circle,
 89     IV,  II   |           is, because those ideas, concerning whose agreement or disagreement
 90     IV,  II   |          disagreement of the ideas concerning which we inquire visible
 91     IV,  III  |          many doubts and inquiries concerning the ideas we have, whereof
 92     IV,  III  |            we might desire to know concerning those ideas we have; nor
 93     IV,  III  |         questions that might arise concerning any of them. We have the
 94     IV,  III  |  affirmations or negations we make concerning the ideas we have, may,
 95     IV,  III  |     material part of our knowledge concerning substances. For our ideas
 96     IV,  III  |        would know anything further concerning these, or any other sort
 97     IV,  III  |          about which our knowledge concerning substances is most employed,
 98     IV,  III  |          determine,) our knowledge concerning corporeal substances will
 99     IV,  III  |      knowledge of universal truths concerning natural bodies: and our
100     IV,  III  | instructive, unquestionable truths concerning them. Certainty and demonstration
101     IV,  III  |             and make a part of us: concerning their secondary qualities,
102     IV,  IV   |            the knowledge we attain concerning these ideas is real, and
103     IV,  IV   |          certain all his knowledge concerning such ideas is real knowledge:
104     IV,  IV   |           he is sure what he knows concerning those figures, when they
105     IV,  IV   |           us, so far our knowledge concerning substances is real. I say,
106     IV,  IV   |           reality of our knowledge concerning substances—That all our
107     IV,  IV   |     knowledge. But to make it real concerning substances, the ideas must
108     IV,  VI   |         few universal propositions concerning substances is to be known.
109     IV,  VI   |            propositions to be made concerning substances, which can carry
110     IV,  VI   |            at the same uncertainty concerning solubility in aqua regia,
111     IV,  VI   |            one general affirmation concerning any quality of gold, that
112     IV,  VI   |        chief part of our knowledge concerning substances is not, as in
113     IV,  VI   |           few general propositions concerning substances of whose real
114     IV,  VI   |         may with certainty be made concerning it: v.g. could any one discover
115     IV,  VI   |      certain universal proposition concerning gold in this respect; and
116     IV,  VI   |            Judgment of probability concerning substances may reach further:
117     IV,  VI   |          general propositions made concerning substances: our knowledge
118     IV,  VI   |          of universal propositions concerning substances is very narrow
119     IV,  VI   |           is our principal inquiry concerning them; and there are scarce
120     IV,  VI   |       propositions with certainty, concerning the several sorts of them;
121     IV,  VI   |       general certain propositions concerning them. This is evident, the
122     IV,  VI   |       general certain propositions concerning man, standing for such an
123     IV,  VI   |          in universal propositions concerning them. Those few ideas only
124     IV,  VII  |            have framed many axioms concerning that one relation of equality.
125     IV,  VII  |        mathematical axioms.~7. IV. Concerning real existence, we have
126     IV,  VII  |            Being, we have in that, concerning the real existence of all
127     IV,  VII  |         knowledge: and, therefore, concerning those there are no maxims.~
128     IV,  VII  |        Each particular proposition concerning identity or diversity is
129     IV,  VII  |            not be amiss to observe concerning these general maxims, That
130     IV,  VII  |         all that is here suggested concerning their little use for the
131     IV,  VII  |          instance: let man be that concerning which you would by these
132     IV,  VIII |        identical propositions; and concerning all such, I think I may
133     IV,  VIII |            9. General propositions concerning substances are often trifling.
134     IV,  VIII |     universal certain propositions concerning them, any further than our
135     IV,  VIII |     trifling with them. Though yet concerning most words used in discourses,
136     IV,  IX   |        were made general, are only concerning existence; they declaring
137     IV,  IX   |          us proceed now to inquire concerning our knowledge of the existence
138     IV,  XI   |        human nature is capable of, concerning the existence of anything,
139     IV,  XI   |            act and inform us right concerning the existence of those objects
140     IV,  XI   |        assurance we are capable of concerning the existence of material
141     IV,  XI   |            of each other’s report, concerning the existence of sensible
142     IV,  XI   |        really exist.~And therefore concerning the existence of finite
143     IV,  XI   |    universal, certain propositions concerning this matter are beyond our
144     IV,  XI   |            particular propositions concerning concrete existences are
145     IV,  XI   |           one sort of propositions concerning the existence of anything
146     IV,  XI   |       proposition will be certain, concerning man in general, if I have
147     IV,  XI   |           to another, propositions concerning any abstract ideas that
148     IV,  XII  |      before; or what new knowledge concerning his body can these two relative
149     IV,  XII  |           with truth and certainty concerning them into general propositions.
150     IV,  XII  |           little general knowledge concerning the species of bodies and
151     IV,  XII  |     together. Where our inquiry is concerning co-existence, or repugnancy
152     IV,  XIII |        Some Further Considerations Concerning our Knowledge ~1. Our knowledge
153     IV,  XVI  |            memories all the proofs concerning any probable truth, and
154     IV,  XVI  |            together all the proofs concerning most of the opinions he
155     IV,  XVI  |           are of two sorts: either concerning some particular existence,
156     IV,  XVI  |           human testimony; or else concerning things, which, being beyond
157     IV,  XVI  |          approaching to knowledge. Concerning the first of these, viz.
158     IV,  XVI  |          testimony is made use of: concerning which, I think, it may not
159     IV,  XVI  |           remains that other sort, concerning which men entertain opinions
160     IV,  XVI  |           of the vast universe. 2. Concerning the manner of operation
161     IV,  XVII |            desire to be considered concerning reason; and that is, whether
162     IV,  XVIII|   difference still, that, in those concerning which it has but an uncertain
163     IV,  XX   |         truth; but indeed, because concerning those doctrines they keep
164     IV,  XX   |          world, he would not find, concerning those matters they are so
