T 1.1.1.9

SBN 5 · cited directly by 2 papers, reached by 2 more through page or section ranges · rare passage

To confirm this I consider another plain and convincing phænomenon; which is, that where-ever by any accident the faculties, which give rise to any impressions, are obstructed in their operations, as when one is born blind or deaf; not only the impressions are lost, but also their correspondent ideas; so that there never appear in the mind the least traces of either of them. Nor is this only true, where the organs of sensation are entirely destroy'd, but likewise where they have never been put in action to produce a particular impression. We cannot form to ourselves a just idea of the taste of a pine-apple, without having actually tasted it.

A rare passage. Cited by at most three papers, at least one of them focused on personal identity (HUMHIS). These are the passages a focused reader brought into the conversation that the literature otherwise passes by.
