  1      I,  1 |         some cases admission of the fact must be assumed, in others
  2      I,  2 |         know the cause on which the fact depends, as the cause of
  3      I,  2 |       depends, as the cause of that fact and of no other, and, further,
  4      I,  2 |              and, further, that the fact could not be other than
  5      I,  2 |       meaning, but knowledge of the fact as well. Now "prior" and "
  6      I,  2 |              of our conviction-of a fact is the possession of such
  7      I,  4 |            evidence for this in the fact that the objection we raise
  8      I,  5 |            our conclusion is not in fact primary and commensurately
  9      I,  6 |            is also indicated by the fact that the objection we raise
 10      I,  6 |      mediating link is a contingent fact. Or again, if a man is without
 11      I,  6 |         change in himself or in the fact and no lapse of memory on
 12      I,  6 |            change in him nor in the fact, and though he will still
 13      I,  6 |           non-necessary. You can in fact infer the necessary even
 14      I,  6 |           neither the cause nor the fact that his conclusion is a
 15      I,  6 |            actually infers the mere fact through middle terms or
 16      I,  6 |        middle terms or the reasoned fact and from immediate premisses.~
 17      I,  8 |       conclusion can only be that a fact is true at the moment-not
 18      I,  9 |            with a qualification-the fact falls under a separate science (
 19      I,  9 |         separate), but the reasoned fact concerns the superior science,
 20      I,  10|            the name is assumed. The fact of their existence as regards
 21      I,  10|        magnitude we assume also the fact of their existence, in the
 22      I,  10|             necessary self-grounded fact, and which we must necessarily
 23      I,  10|            depends the being of the fact inferred. Nor are the geometer’
 24      I,  12|          thus: let A be an existing fact; let the existence of A
 25      I,  13|                 13~Knowledge of the fact differs from knowledge of
 26      I,  13|           knowledge of the reasoned fact. To begin with, they differ
 27      I,  13|           knowledge of the reasoned fact): (2) when the premisses
 28      I,  13|             proves not the reasoned fact but only the fact; since
 29      I,  13|          reasoned fact but only the fact; since they are not near
 30      I,  13|             will be of the reasoned fact. Thus: let C be the planets,
 31      I,  13|       syllogism proves the reasoned fact, since its middle term is
 32      I,  13|        turns out to be proof of the fact, but if the middle and major
 33      I,  13|            is proof of the reasoned fact; since the moon is not spherical
 34      I,  13|            is the better known, the fact is demonstrated but not
 35      I,  13|   demonstrated but not the reasoned fact. This also occurs (1) when
 36      I,  13|             demonstration is of the fact, not of the reasoned fact.
 37      I,  13|           fact, not of the reasoned fact. For example, the question "
 38      I,  13|             do the syllogism of the fact and the syllogism of the
 39      I,  13|           syllogism of the reasoned fact differ within one science
 40      I,  13|        another way too in which the fact and the reasoned fact differ,
 41      I,  13|           the fact and the reasoned fact differ, and that is when
 42      I,  13|     empirical observers to know the fact, of the mathematicians to
 43      I,  13| mathematicians to know the reasoned fact; for the latter are in possession
 44      I,  13|           are often ignorant of the fact: just as we have often a
 45      I,  13|      rainbow. Here knowledge of the fact is within the province of
 46      I,  13|           knowledge of the reasoned fact within that of the optician,
 47      I,  14|           syllogism of the reasoned fact is either exclusively or
 48      I,  16|            negative premiss. For in fact what is an attribute of
 49      I,  16|             wholly false. Again, in fact it is false to assume that
 50      I,  17|             of what is actually the fact, and so posited both become
 51      I,  21|  affirmative demonstration. That in fact the regress terminates in
 52      I,  22|        either (a) or (b) were not a fact, it would mean that no interval
 53      I,  22|  predication terminate; and of this fact, which before was shown
 54      I,  23|            this inheres in that"-in fact some basic truths will affirm
 55      I,  24|      attribute which it does not in fact possess qua triangle, that
 56      I,  24|            knowledge of it as it in fact is than he who knows the
 57      I,  24|            cause, i.e. the reasoned fact, and it is rather the commensurate
 58      I,  24|         cause, that is the reasoned fact.~(5) Our search for the
 59      I,  24|           to be or existence of the fact before us is not due to
 60      I,  24|             existence of some other fact, for the last step of a
 61      I,  27|            knowledge at once of the fact and of the reasoned fact,
 62      I,  27|            fact and of the reasoned fact, not of the fact by itself
 63      I,  27|           reasoned fact, not of the fact by itself without the reasoned
 64      I,  27|         itself without the reasoned fact, is the more exact and the
 65      I,  31|         should perceive the present fact of the eclipse, but not
 66      I,  31|       eclipse, but not the reasoned fact at all, since the act of
 67      I,  32|             truths; many of them in fact have basic truths which
 68      I,  33|            be otherwise: opinion in fact is the grasp of a premiss
 69      I,  33|      possible to opine not only the fact but also the reasoned fact,
 70      I,  33|          fact but also the reasoned fact, and the reason is the middle
 71      I,  33|      premisses, will be both of the fact and of the reasoned fact;
 72      I,  33|            fact and of the reasoned fact; if not so obtained, of
 73      I,  33|             not so obtained, of the fact alone. The object of opinion

 75     II,  1 |         attribute with a thing is a fact, (2) what is the reason
 76     II,  1 |             we are asking as to the fact of a connexion. That our
 77     II,  1 |        other hand, when we know the fact we ask the reason; as, for
 78     II,  2 |            whether a connexion is a fact, or whether a thing without
 79     II,  2 |             that the connexion is a fact or that the thing is-i.e.
 80     II,  2 |               By distinguishing the fact of the connexion and the
 81     II,  2 |         thing and the reason of the fact are identical: the question "
 82     II,  2 |          inquiring either as to the fact or the reason, but both
 83     II,  2 |             or the reason, but both fact and reason would be obvious
 84     II,  2 |             too; since, the present fact of an eclipse being evident,
 85     II,  2 |            time give us the present fact of the earth’s screening
 86     II,  3 |            the same as to prove the fact of a connexion. Now definition

 89     II,  7 |           cannot show it as a fresh fact necessarily following from

 91     II,  7 |            the being of anything as fact is matter for demonstration;
 92     II,  8 |        proof of this depends on the fact that a thing must have a
 93     II,  8 |              When we are aware of a fact we seek its reason, and
 94     II,  8 |            and though sometimes the fact and the reason dawn on us
 95     II,  8 |            a moment sooner than the fact; and clearly in just the
 96     II,  8 |    premisses are immediate, we know fact and reason together; if
 97     II,  8 |          not immediate, we know the fact without the reason, as in
 98     II,  8 |          the moon, A eclipse, B the fact that the moon fails to produce
 99     II,  8 |           to ask the reason of this fact, we are inquiring what is
100     II,  12|         origin in previous events—a fact which shows that also when
101     II,  12|        assumed. And in the world of fact this is so: if a house has
102     II,  12|         instance of this. In actual fact it is exemplified thus:
103     II,  13|           without division. But, in fact, the order in which the
104     II,  16|            cause is of the reasoned fact and demonstration not through
105     II,  16|            the cause is of the bare fact, one who knows it through
106     II,  16|       through the eclipse knows the fact of the earth’s interposition
107     II,  16|  interposition but not the reasoned fact. Moreover, that the eclipse
