5 Syn, 2 | is, to the intellectual nature, from what is to be referred
6 Syn, 2 | conception of corporeal nature, which is given partly in

8 Syn, 2 | that the mind is in its own nature immortal. ~
9 Syn, 4 | explained wherein consists the nature of error, points that require
10 Syn, 5 | illustration of corporeal nature, taken generically, a new
11 I, 4 | intimations of the same nature. But how could I deny that
12 I, 7 | seem to belong corporeal nature in general and its extension;
13 II | MEDITATION II~ ~OF THE NATURE OF THE HUMAN MIND; AND THAT
14 II, 5 | were inspired by my own nature alone, when I applied myself
15 II, 5 | did not even doubt of its nature, but thought I distinctly
16 II, 5 | means pertaining to the nature of body; on the contrary,
17 II, 6 | spoken as belonging to the nature of body ? After attentively
18 II, 7 | all that relates to the nature of body, are merely dreams
19 II, 7 | be able to know its own nature with perfect distinctness. ~
20 II, 9 | properties belong to my nature. But why should they not

22 II, 15| to the knowledge of the nature of wax, or of any body whatever,
23 II, 15| manifest still better the nature of my mind ? And there are
24 II, 15| the illustration of its nature, that those dependent on
25 III, 1 | and closely examining my nature, I will endeavor to obtain
26 III, 4 | perhaps have given me such a nature as that I should be deceived,
27 III, 7 | other source than my own nature; but if I now hear a noise,
28 III, 8 | to me I am so taught by nature; and the second that I am
29 III, 9 | speak of being taught by nature in this matter, I understand
30 III, 9 | I understand by the word nature only a certain spontaneous
31 III, 10| sleep, by some power of this nature, without the aid of aught
32 III, 14| a work of the mind], its nature is such as of itself to
33 III, 15| ideas by their peculiar nature, so likewise the mode of
34 III, 15| principal), by their peculiar nature. And although an idea may
35 III, 20| to the perfection of my nature; but if these ideas are
36 III, 24| knew the deficiencies of my nature ? ~
37 III, 25| any way; for it is of the nature of the infinite that it
38 III, 26| perfections of the Divine nature; nor, in fine, why the power
39 III, 27| there were potentially in my nature much that was not as yet
40 III, 31| attentively consider the nature of duration, that the conservation
41 III, 38| not possibly be of such a nature as I am, and yet have in
42 IV, 5 | But, on considering the nature of God, it seems impossible
43 IV, 6 | knowing already that my nature is extremely weak and limited,
44 IV, 6 | and limited, and that the nature of God, on the other hand,
45 IV, 8 | something that is due to my nature], but simply that I do not
46 IV, 8 | another faculty of the same nature, much more ample and even
47 IV, 8 | that it pertains to the nature of God. In the same way,
48 IV, 10| certain idea of corporeal nature; hence I am in doubt as
49 IV, 10| to whether the thinking nature which is in me, or rather
50 IV, 10| different from that corporeal nature, or whether both are merely
51 IV, 13| bestowed, since it is of the nature of a finite understanding
52 IV, 13| many things, and of the nature of a created understanding
53 IV, 14| this faculty is of such a nature that nothing could be taken
54 IV, 15| degree of perfection in my nature than the want of it would
55 V, 1 | attributes of God and my own nature or mind. I will, however,
56 V, 4 | and so accordant with my nature, that when I now discover
57 V, 5 | possesses a certain determinate nature, form, or essence, which
58 V, 6 | diverse properties of their nature no less than of the triangle,
59 V, 6 | been demonstrated, yet the nature of my mind is such as to
60 V, 7 | existence pertains to his nature than that all which is demonstrable
61 V, 7 | number really belongs to the nature of that figure or number;
62 V, 11| of a true and immutable nature: in the first place because
63 V, 14| although I am of such a nature as to be unable, while I
64 V, 14| example, when I consider the nature of the rectilinear] triangle,
65 V, 14| have been so constituted by nature as to be sometimes deceived,
66 V, 15| them ? Will it be that my nature is such that I may be frequently
67 V, 16| objects as to corporeal nature, in so far as it is the
68 VI, 3 | in no way necessary to my nature or] essence, that is, to
69 VI, 3 | distinct idea of corporeal nature I have in my imagination,
70 VI, 4 | objects besides that corporeal nature which is the object of the
71 VI, 6 | that I was so taught by nature; for there is assuredly
72 VI, 6 | sense, were dictates of nature; because I remarked that
73 VI, 7 | having been so constituted by nature as that I should be deceived
74 VI, 7 | answers to them; for as nature seemed to incline me to
75 VI, 9 | necessarily belongs to my nature or essence beyond my being
76 VI, 9 | substance whose whole essence or nature is merely thinking]. And
77 VI, 10| that is to say, a corporeal nature in which is contained formally
78 VI, 11| each of the dictates of nature there is some truth: for
79 VI, 11| there is some truth: for by nature, considered in general,
80 VI, 11| created things; and by my nature in particular I understand
81 VI, 12| there is nothing which that nature teaches me more expressly
82 VI, 13| 13. Nature likewise teaches me by these
83 VI, 14| 14. Besides this, nature teaches me that my own body
84 VI, 15| seemingly the teaching of nature, are not in reality so,
85 VI, 15| understand by being taught by nature. For nature is here taken
86 VI, 15| being taught by nature. For nature is here taken in a narrower
87 VI, 15| referring when I use the term nature]; as, for example, the notion
88 VI, 15| contained under the name nature, as the quality of heaviness,
89 VI, 15| composed of mind and body. But nature, taking the term in the
90 VI, 15| to pervert the order of nature, because these perceptions
91 VI, 15| senses, although given me by nature merely to signify to my
92 VI, 16| things which I am taught by nature must be pursued or avoided,
93 VI, 16| be directly deceived by nature]: thus, for example, I may
94 VI, 16| In this case, however, nature may be excused, for it simply
95 VI, 16| circumstance beyond that our nature is not omniscient; at which
96 VI, 16| since, man being of a finite nature, his knowledge must likewise
97 VI, 17| are directly impelled by nature, as is the case with invalids
98 VI, 17| are deceived is that their nature is corrupted; but this leaves
99 VI, 17| goodness of God that the nature of the former should be
100 VI, 17| accurately all the laws of nature when it is ill made, and
101 VI, 17| deflected from its proper nature when it incorrectly indicates
102 VI, 17| follow the order of its nature when the throat is parched
103 VI, 17| acceptation of the term nature is very different from the
104 VI, 17| the other acceptation of nature is understood something
105 VI, 18| denomination that we say its nature is corrupted, when, without
106 VI, 18| but really an error of nature, for it to feel thirst when
107 VI, 18| God does not prevent the nature of man thus taken from being
108 VI, 19| respect that body, from its nature, is always divisible, and
109 VI, 21| remark, besides, that the nature of body is such that none
110 VI, 21| certain motion appointed by nature to cause in the mind a sensation
111 VI, 22| all the perceptions which nature has given us are of such
112 VI, 22| have so constituted the nature of man as that the same
113 VI, 23| sovereign goodness of God, the nature of man, in so far as it
114 VI, 24| recognize the errors to which my nature is liable, but likewise
115 VI, 24| acknowledge the weakness of our nature.~
