APPENDIX I. 323 



8. " Some philosophers, treating of phenomena, say things which 

 by no means correspond with the phenomena the cause being 

 that they have not rightly conceived principles, but reduce every- 

 thing to prescribed notions, and they persist in these, despite all the 

 contradiction which phenomena give them." (De Coelo n. 13 ; 

 in. 8.) 



(Is not this last citation the severest censure ever passed on the 

 schoolmen's process and Bacon's work ?) 



9. " Aristotle's reliance was on experience and induction the 

 one furnishing (particular) facts, from which the other found a path- 

 way to general facts (laws)." This remark is quoted from the 

 Life of Aristotle by G. H. Lewes, who cites numerous passages from 

 Topics L 10, also Post Anal. i. 31, Hist. Animal, i. 6, in support 

 of it. Our limits do not allow us to do more than refer to the works. 



10. " Without sensation thought is impossible. It is from sense 

 that we gain knowledge of particulars (facts). It is from induction 

 that we gain knowledge of universals (laws) and these can be reached 

 only through experience." 



This is a summary of what is explained in De Sensu vi. 445 ; 

 De Anima m. 3, 8, 432 ; Metaph. iv. 5, and elsewhere. 



11. We have to remind the reader that Aristotle's Organon 

 includes 242 chapters, and is all devoted to the elucidation of the 

 Syllogism, Induction, and Experience so that the quotations we 

 have given are but an insignificant fraction of the whole ; but they 

 will, we think, be sufficient to prove Aristotle's lucidity and com- 

 petence.
