It is, I suspect, a confused notion, taken up to serve 3 II, XI | is not enough to have a confused perception of something 4 II, XI | so far our notions are confused, and our reason and judgment 5 II, XII | themselves; the supposed or confused idea of substance, such 6 II, XIII | place has sometimes a more confused sense, and stands for that 7 II, XIII | of what it is, but only a confused, obscure one of what it 8 II, XIII | the mind to put off those confused notions and prejudices it 9 II, XIV | of our knowledge would be confused, and a great part of history 10 II, XV | becomes very obscure and confused; and it is the number of 11 II, XVI | there will remain only the confused idea of multitude, but the 12 II, XVII | idea is very obscure and confused, because it is made up of 13 II, XVII | number from running into a confused heap, wherein the mind loses 14 II, XVII | get of infinity, is the confused incomprehensible remainder 15 II, XVII | it, and gives only this confused and comparative idea, that 16 II, XXI | faculties has misled many into a confused notion of so many distinct 17 II, XXI | should perceive where the confused signification of terms, 18 II, XXIII| made up of, have always the confused idea of something to which 19 II, XXIX | and Obscure, Distinct and Confused Ideas ~1. Ideas, some clear 20 II, XXIX | distinct, others obscure and confused. Having shown the original 21 II, XXIX | some distinct and others confused.~2.

As a clear idea is 23 II, XXIX | difference from all other; and a confused idea is such an one as is 24 II, XXIX | Objection. If no idea be confused, but such as is not sufficiently 25 II, XXIX | say, to find anywhere a confused idea. For, let any idea 26 II, XXIX | itself; that which makes it confused, is, when it is such that 27 II, XXIX | beast with spots, has but a confused idea of a leopard; it not 28 II, XXIX | we would express by them confused and undetermined, I leave 29 II, XXIX | consider. This is evident, that confused ideas are such as render 30 II, XXIX | it is that they are truly confused.~8.

What is it, then, 34 II, XXIX | that makes it be thought confused, since the want of symmetry 35 II, XXIX | this could not be called confused. I answer, That which makes 36 II, XXIX | which makes it be thought confused is, the applying it to some 37 II, XXIX | one with reason counts it confused; because it is not discernible 38 II, XXIX | together, can be called confused (for they are plainly discernible 39 II, XXIX | frequently gives the name of confused to our ideas, is, when any 40 II, XXIX | it up, is said to have a confused idea of idolatry or the 41 II, XXIX | denominating ideas distinct or confused, by a secret and unobserved 42 II, XXIX | will be hard to say what a confused idea is. And therefore when 43 II, XXIX | we suspect any idea to be confused, we must examine what other 44 II, XXIX | names import.~12. Causes of confused ideas. This, I think, is 45 II, XXIX | distinct in one part, and confused in another. Our complex 46 II, XXIX | part, and very obscure and confused in another. In a man who 47 II, XXIX | of the figure may be very confused, though that of the number 48 II, XXIX | are apt to use it for that confused part, and draw deductions 49 II, XXIX | have but very obscure and confused ideas of corpuscles, or 50 II, XXIX | must be very obscure and confused, which we cannot distinguish 51 II, XXIX | obscure, imperfect, and confused idea; from or about which 52 II, XXIX | find ourselves at a loss; confused ideas, in our arguings and 53 II, XXIX | that part of them which is confused, always leading us into 54 III, V | disordered by the careless and confused use and application of words, 55 III, VI | so much as any obscure or confused conception in general.~11. 56 III, VI | ideas that make them up, the confused one of substance, or of 57 III, VI | well enough for gross and confused conceptions, and inaccurate 58 III, VI | of artificial things less confused than natural. From what 59 III, VI | of substitution it has so confused and uncertain a signification, 60 III, IX | consequently, obscure and confused signification.
