T 1.4.4.2

SBN 226 · cited directly by 2 papers, reached by 5 more through page or section ranges · rare passage

The opinions of the antient philosophers, their fictions of substance and accident, and their reasonings concerning substantial forms and occult qualities, are like the spectres in the dark, and are deriv'd from principles, which, however common, are neither universal nor unavoidable in human nature. The modern philosophy pretends to be entirely free from this defect, and to arise only from the solid, permanent, and consistent principles of the imagination. Upon what grounds this pretension is founded must now be the subject of our enquiry.

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