§ 4. Point of departure — Experience 9
§ 5. Different forms of mental quiet. — Nature of assent 11
§ 6. Popular and philosophical knowing 15

§ 8. Difference between demonstration and persuasion. — Direct, popular, and philosophical science 16
§ 9. The first questions put by philosophy and their consequences. — Philosophy, regressive and progressive. Four starting-points distinguished 19
Sciences of Intuition.
I. Ideology.
§ 10. Ideology and Logic. — Rosmini's chief merit in philosophy 22
f 11. Internal observation the method of Ideology. — Philosophy does not begin with an hypothesis, as Hegel thought 27
§ 12. Objection to the validity of observation answered 30
§ 13. Human cognitions, though innumerable, have a common element. — Abstraction 31
§ 14. Cognition of real entities is an internal affirmation or judgment. — Synthesis must precede analysis. Kant and his synthetic judgments a priori 32
§ 15. The notion of being in general is a necessary condition of the cognition of particular real beings. — Real and ideal being. Ideal being innate. St. Thomas quoted 36
§ 16. Being in general is known by intuition. Two great classes of human cognitions. — Intuition and perception 40
§ 17. Order of the two classes. — Universality ; its nature 41
§ 18. Being in general and particular being. By intuition we know the essence of being.— Being has two modes. Aristotle and the German school criticized for confounding the two. Kant. Hegelian Logic 44
§ 19. When I affirm a particular real being, what do I know more than before? The cause of affirmation is a feeling. The formula for affirmative cognitions.— Real being. Intellective perception sees passivity on its obverse side as activity 59
§ 20. What this formula presupposes. It is feeling that constitutes the reality of being. — Subject and object. The ancient meaning differs from the modern
§ 21. In what sense the essence of being is universal — Principle and term 64
§ 22. Examination of the objections to the identification of reality with feeling.— Matter. Pure reality 66
§ 23. Identity between the essence of being and the activity manifested in feeling. — Ideal and real being 69
§ 24. This identity imperfect. — Universality 70
§ 25. The essence of being is realized in the difference, as well as in the identity of real being 73
§ 26. Corollaries derived from the identity of the essence of being and the multiplicity of its realizations 73
§ 27. "Quantity belongs to the realization, not to the essence, of being. — Parmenides. The One and the Many 75
§ 28. Ideas which make known the negation of being. All ideas of particular beings consist of positive and negative. There is but one idea, the essence of being, and all the rest are relations of it. — Negative and particular ideas 79
§ 29. In respect to quantity, the essence of being and beings perceived by us are different, not identical — Contingency 81
§ 30. The identity between the essence of being and real beings exists between them only in so far as they are known 82
§ 31. It is only as known that real being identifies itself with ideal being. Perception not less true on that account — Universality not derived from things 83
§ 32. Why we think we do not know the ground of things. — The intellect knows things in an absolute mode. Passion and action. Intellective perception 84
§ 33. Why being, as a means of cognition, is called ideaL — Rosmini's system not idealism. Means sub quo 87
§ 34. The essence of being is self-intelligible and forms the intelligibility of all other things. The idea of being is the light of reason, is inborn, and is the form of intelligence. — The idea of being not derived from external sensation, feeling of our own existence, reflection or the act of perception. It is, therefore, innate. Mean- ing of innate 88
§ 35. Meaning of the word form. Two senses of the word form. In which of the two senses is the idea of being- used? Object and Subject and their relation. Kant's forms not objective, but subjective. — Form of cognition. Criticism of Kant's Table of Categories. The modal categories — necessary, actual, possible 92
§ 36. All intelligence is reducible to thinking being as realized in a certain manner, with certain limits. — Though the soul is finite, its means of cognizing is infinite 106
§ 37. In what sense ideal being is said to be possible. — Ideal being, being in itself, and being as object 108
§ 38. How possible and ideal beings are said to be many. — Concept is one ; the things conceived are many 109
§ 39. Ideality a mode of being incapable of being confounded with reality 110
§ 40. Differences between ideas and the things known by means of them 111
§ 41. Essence known through idea ; subsistence, through affirmation on occasion of a feeling. — Contingent things have two inconfusible modes of being 112
§ 42. How in perception we unite ideal being with feeling. — Rosmini's Theory of Cognition 114
§ 43. Objection to calling intellective perception a judgment. Answer. The objection does not touch the fact, but only the propriety of the term. — Difference between Rosmini and Kant. Reid 119
§ 44. Is this affirmation a judgment? No judgment is possible without the union of its terms. — The elements of a judgment are combined by nature 124
§ 45. In intellective perception, it is not intelligence, but nature, that unites the terms of the judgment. This judgment produces its own subject — Kant's errors 1 26
§ 46. The term judgment does not express the nature of affirmation, but a subsequent reflection analyzes it. — The terms of a judgment are perceived as one 128
§ 47. Reflection, in analyzing a judgment, distinguishes, but does not separate, Us elements. Subject and predicate do not exist prior to the judgment, fcut are formed in the act of judgment. — Direct and reflexive cognition 129
§ 48. Difference between primitive affirmations and other judgments. The nature of the primitive judgment further illustrated. — The predicate is contained in the concept of the subject 132
§ 49. The primitive judgment may also be called the primitive synthesis. — Perception spontaneous, abstraction voluntary 136
§ 50. Convertibility of the terms of the primitive judgment. — Ancient mode of expressing judgments 137

§ 59. The impossibility of the second illusion proved 165
§ 60. Transition from observation to the proof that observation is a valid source of knowledge. Meaning of abstract 166
§ 61. Error impossible in ideas generic and specific. Ideas the exemplary truths of things 167
§ 62. There can be no error without a judgment. — Aristotle cited 168
§ 63. There are judgments absolutely free from error. — Nouns and verbs 169
§ 64. Such are the judgments expressing what is contained in an idea. What are principles? Meaning of absurd. — Principle of contradiction. Aristotle cited 172
§ 65. Primitive judgments affirming that what is felt exists are free from error. The child affirms being only, not its modes. — No doubt respecting feeling as such. Individuum vagum 174
§ 66. In perception we add the essence of being to the felt activity, but we never confound the two. — Perception distinguished from sensation. Theories of Reid and Hamilton 176
§ 67. Judgments respecting the mode of perceived beings. Condition of their validity. Three possibilities with regard to this condition. We may be deceived in determining the modes of perceived being ; but we are not necessarily so. — Origin of error 180
§ 68. We have a faculty for affirming exactly what we feel, and this faculty is only another function of the faculty whereby we affirm being apart from its modes. Deception arises, not from this faculty, but from the faculty of error which I allow to disturb it. — St. Thomas on faith 182
§ 69. The error possible in the perception of real being. Perception is followed by reflection, which tries to determine the exact mode of the perceived being. Error begins with reflection and keeps pace with the complication and extent of it. — Nature of reflection 184
§ 70. Perception infallible. Reflection may be rendered so by Logic — Province of Logic 186
§ 71. Error is always voluntary. Reflection does not, save accidentally, produce error. The faculty of persuasion does not always de- pend, as it ought, on that of reasoning. Hence error. Various causes that produce persuasion, in spite of reasoning. Error, though always voluntary, is not always culpable. — Occasional causes of error 187
§ 72. Three kinds of remedies against error, corresponding to its three sources 189
§ 73. Sophistic. — Various kinds of Sophisms 189

§ 76. Schelling's error in asserting that the finite cannot be perceived without the infinite. Origin of this error, confusion between intellective perception and reasoning 202
§ 77. How reason finds the limits, contingency, etc., of perceived beings. Schelling saw dimly, but could not express the fact that the mind, prior to all reasonings, must have something complete and universal. — Refutation of Pantheism. Albertus Magnus on the active intellect 204
§ 78. Defence of the laws of perception and reasoning against the objections of sceptics. In external sensation we feel within us a force which is not ourselves. This enables us to affirm that a being exists without confounding it with ourselves.— Objects of perception. Intellective imagination. Subject and extra-subject 207
§ 79. Perception is the bridge between us and the external world, and the difficulties of idealism arise from considering the world apart from perception. — Meaning of external world 209
§ 80. Perception yields the important ontological truth that beings, in so far as agents, may exist in each other without intermingling. — Definitions of body, force. Perception of our own bodies and of external bodies 211
§ 81. Our perception of ourselves is posterior to our perception of the external world. — Intellective perception of the Ego 214
§ 82. Reflection would be unable to compare perceived beings together, if it had not universal being, by means of which it knows the mode and quantity of its realization in those beings, and, hence, if they belong or not to the same species. Principle of the discernibility of individuals. — Individual and idea of individual 217
§ 83. Origin of the ideas of numbers 218
§ 84. Difference of the mode of realization constitutes difference of species ; difference in quantity or actuality constitutes accidental differences. — Origin of Species. Reality ; two kinds of it. Various kinds of real form 219
§ 85. When may we say that the Ego and the non-Ego mutually limit each other? — Affirmation does not include negation 221
§ 86. The mind rises to the infinite neither in the primal perception, nor in the reflection which compares the Ego and the non-Ego, but in that which considers the limitation, contingency, and relativity of either. — Max Miiller on the manner in which the infinite is perceived 223
§ 87. The supreme principle of all our reasoning 224
§ 88. The principle of substance one of the conditions of real being falling under perception. — Modes of our idea of substance. Herbert Spencer on the substance of mind 224

§ 90. Does perception take place directly or through reasoning? — Cognition and recognition ..232
§ 91. Process by which reflection translates the perception of ourselves. — The Ego a substance and a feeling 233
§ 92. Perception does not take place blindly. — How sensation acts upon intelligence 234
§ 93. Perception is governed by the principle of substance. — Difference between substance and cause 235
§ 94. Substance and accident 236
§ 95. Why the child, which has not perceived itself, is compelled by the principle of substance to attribute its own sensations to bodies 236
§ 96. It does not follow that the principle of substance is fallacious. The errors we commit in referring accidents to the wrong sub- stance may be corrected. — Subject as distinguished from extra- subject 237
§ 97. The principle of substance is the intuition of the essence of being, the first and universal truth. — Rosmini's idea of substance not pinozistic 238
§ 98. One of the conditions of reflection is the principle of cause. — Principle of cause dependent on principle of contradiction, and this on the principle of cognition 239
§ 99. Various orders of reflection. Reflection of the first order discovers the different limitations and mutual dependence of real beings. — Dependence the result of reflection 240
§ 100. Notions of cause and effect. — Refutation of scepticism with reference to the universality and necessity of cause 242
§ 101. The principle of cause is merely an application of the idea of being a perceived being, so as to see whether the latter has or has not in itself subsistence. — Hypotheses. All causes either physical or metaphysical 244
§ 102. What is contingent being? — Concept of necessity 245
§ 103. The principle of integration is a development of the principle of cause, and contains the reason why all peoples believe that God exists. — The argument for the existence of God derived from the impossibility of thinking an infinite number is entirely allacious 246
§ 104. All other principles of reflection are reducible in the same way to the first universal truth, the essence of being naturally intuited by us 247
§ 105. Purposes of the art of reasoning 247
§ 106. How errors in reasoning are avoided. — Descartes' four rules of method. Rosmini's six norms 247

§ 127. The extended term of feeling is double, space and body, and these have opposite characters.— Nature of space and extension. The external world. Atoms 269
§ 128. Connection of soul and body. The incomprehensibility of this connection does not give us the right to doubt the fact — Opinion of Plotinus. Of Professor Bain. The soul not a mathematical point. Porphyry on the incorporeal 278
§ 129. The sentient principle feels its own body with a passivity mingled with much activity. The sentient principle feels a foreign body if in the body subject to its power there comes a change independent of, and opposed to it 278
§ 130. There would be no difficulty in understanding how the soul should feel external bodies, if we could understand how, being a simple principle, it can have an extended term. — The substance of the soul is simple. Herbert Spencer's view 280
§ 131. A close consideration of this question shows that the continuous does not lie in the single parts, but in a principle embracing them all at once, and hence the continuous cannot exist, except as the term of the act of a simple principle. — The principle of continuity is sensation.
