Synopsis
Excerpt from La Substance: Essai de Philosophie Rationnelle
Nous ne pouvons donc tirer de conclusions en nous basant sur une seule sensation. Il faut que de nombreuses observations viennent justifier les premières, et fassent découvrir les rapports exacts qui existent entre les phénomènes observés. Quand nous voyons, grâce a des circonstances toujours identiques, un fait se reproduire constamment, nous acquérons la conviction qu'en de semblables circonstances le même fait se reproduira. Aussi, lorsque nous lançons une pierre dans l'espace, sommes - nous assurés que bientôt elle touchera terre; et, si nous ne devions pas appeler certitude cet état de notre esprit, c'est évidemment que nous ne nous entendons plus sur la valeur des mots. Nous dirons donc, en donnant au mot certitude la signification ordinaire, que nous sommes certains que la pierre tombera.

La Substance: Essai de Philosophie Rationnelle (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fundamental nature of substance, arguing that all that exists, both physical or conceptual, can ultimately be traced back to motion. The author begins by examining the composition of the universe at its most basic level, arguing that all matter is composed of atoms that are perpetually in motion. These atoms interact with each other according to certain laws, giving rise to the myriad of phenomena we observe around us. Yet, the author contends that the universe is not simply a collection of atoms and particles but is instead a dynamic entity in which energy and matter are constantly being transformed and exchanged. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780266875376_0
