Book I
Chapter | Summary |
I.1 | Although understanding something means we can reason from first principles, discovering these principles requires us to sort them out from the aggregate observations we are built to apprehend. |
I.2 | There must be more than one thing because the ways in which all reality can be made of one thing each require there to be multiple things. |
I.3 | The definition of a whole cannot be found in the definition of its parts, so that things exist does not mean that there is an existence that they are a part of. |
I.4 | The number of kinds of things must be finite since the infinite is unknowable and a finite body cannot be composed of an infinite number of finite bodies. |
I.5 | All principles must be opposites that admit admixtures of opposites, and the properties of an object may consist of combinations of these principles. |
