11 I, 10| deny the existence of a Being so powerful than to believe
12 I, 10| that the probability of my being so imperfect as to be the
13 I, 12| by means of which this being has laid snares for my credulity;
14 I, 12| assent to what is false, and being imposed upon by this deceiver,
15 II, 3 | there not a God, or some being, by whatever name I may

19 II, 6 | may so speak, malignant being, whose whole endeavors are
20 II, 6 | neither of walking nor of being nourished. Perception is
21 II, 7 | something more than a thinking being. Now it is plain I am not
22 II, 9 | it ? Am I not that very being who now doubts of almost
23 II, 9 | although he who gave me being employed all his ingenuity
24 II, 9 | am as certainly the same being who imagines; for although

29 III, 4 | that I have never been, it being now true that I am, or make
30 III, 9 | convincing. When I speak of being taught by nature in this
31 III, 13| representation in higher degrees of being or perfection], than those
32 III, 16| besides myself some other being who exists as the cause
33 III, 16| the existence of any other being besides myself, for, after
34 III, 19| and heat are so far from being clear and distinct, that
35 III, 19| qualities: and since, ideas being as it were images there
36 III, 21| extended and unconscious, there being thus the greatest diversity
37 III, 21| since I am merely a thinking being; but because they are only
38 III, 23| substance, seeing I am a finite being, unless it were given me
39 III, 24| I possessed no idea of a being more perfect than myself,
40 III, 25| falsity. The idea, I say, of a being supremely perfect, and infinite,
41 III, 25| may imagine that such a being does not exist, we cannot,
42 III, 26| conscious that my knowledge is being increased and perfected]
43 III, 27| perceive that the objective being of an idea cannot be produced
44 III, 27| cannot be produced by a being that is merely potentially
45 III, 27| is nothing, but only by a being existing formally or actually. ~
46 III, 28| relax, the vision of my mind being obscured, and, as it were,
47 III, 28| reason why the idea of a being more perfect than myself,
48 III, 28| necessity have proceeded from a being in reality more perfect.
49 III, 30| myself the author of my being, I should doubt of nothing,
50 III, 30| difficulty that I, a thinking being, should arise from nothing,
51 III, 32| I am dependent upon some being different from myself. ~
52 III, 33| 33. But perhaps the being upon whom I am dependent
53 III, 33| it is likewise a thinking being, and that it possesses in
54 III, 35| exist together in a single being who is God; for, on the
55 III, 36| so far as I am a thinking being. All that, at the most,

57 III, 38| imperfect] and dependent being, and one who unceasingly
58 III, 38| in my mind -- that is, a being who possesses all those
59 III, 38| conception, without, however, being able fully to comprehend
60 IV, 1 | incomplete and dependent being, the idea of a complete
61 IV, 1 | complete and independent being, that is to say of God,
62 IV, 4 | positive idea of God, or of a being supremely perfect, but also,
63 IV, 4 | in so far as an absolute being is my creator; but that,
64 IV, 4 | am not myself the supreme Being, and as I am wanting in
65 IV, 4 | for this end, but that my being deceived arises from the
66 IV, 5 | that I should be capable of being deceived than that I should

69 IV, 10| so far as I am a thinking being, but there is likewise presented
70 IV, 15| without reference to any other being in the universe, I should
71 IV, 16| given me the perfection of being superior to error by the
72 IV, 16| conscious of the weakness of not being able to keep my mind continually
73 IV, 17| 17. And since it is in being superior to error that the
74 V, 6 | true is something, truth being identical with existence];
75 V, 7 | consciousness, that is the idea of a being supremely perfect, than
76 V, 8 | conceive a God, that is, a being supremely perfect, to whom
77 V, 10| without existence, that is, a being supremely perfect, and yet
78 V, 11| admit that the rhombus, being a figure of four sides,
79 V, 11| of a first and sovereign being, and to draw, so to speak,
80 V, 11| this first and sovereign being; just as it is not necessary
81 V, 11| what figures are capable of being inscribed in the circle,
82 V, 11| I can conceive no other being, except God, to whose essence
83 V, 11| gods of this kind; and it being supposed that one such God
84 V, 12| easily then the fact of his being. For is there any truth
85 V, 12| the existence of a Supreme Being, or of God, seeing it is
86 V, 14| without at the same time being able to recall the grounds
87 V, 15| any of those things, and, being as yet ignorant of the rule
88 VI, 6 | which it was capable of being affected in diverse ways,
89 VI, 6 | to me without my consent being required, so that I could
90 VI, 7 | ignorant of the author of my being or at least supposed myself
91 VI, 8 | clearly the author of my being, I do not, indeed, think
92 VI, 9 | nature or essence beyond my being a thinking thing, I rightly
93 VI, 9 | essence consists only in my being a thinking thing or a substance
94 VI, 15| I properly understand by being taught by nature. For nature
95 VI, 15| I do not speak, the term being reserved exclusively to
96 VI, 15| God has given to me as a being composed of mind and body.
97 VI, 15| true account of the matter being merely that I have so judged
98 VI, 15| which it is a part, and being sufficiently clear and distinct
99 VI, 16| for surprise, since, man being of a finite nature, his
100 VI, 18| nature of man thus taken from being fallacious. ~
101 VI, 23| as is usual, from drink being necessary for the health
102 VI, 24| advantage of the body, and being able almost always to make
