{2p37 commune nullius essentiam}
... (analoguous to 2p10s2 quoted above) what is common to all can not be the essence of
any ... (but see next quote) ... |
... That which is common to all ... and
which is equally in a part and in the whole, does not constitute the
essence of any particular thing. |
... Id quod omnibus commune ... quodque que in parte ac in toto est, nullius rei
singularis
essentiam
constituit. |
... If this be denied, conceive, if possible, that it constitutes the essence of
some particular thing; for instance, the essence of B. Then (II. Def. ii.) it
cannot without B either exist or be conceived; but this is against our
hypothesis. Therefore it does not appertain to B's essence, nor does it
constitute the essence of any particular thing ... |
... Si negas,
concipe si fieri
potest, id
essentiam alicujus
rei singularis constituere nempe
essentiam B. Ergo (per definitionem 2
hujus {2d02}) id sine B non
poterit
esse
neque concipi; atqui hoc est contra
hypothesin : ergo id ad
essentiam B non
pertinet nec
alterius rei
singularis
essentiam constituit ... |
