21309 | A proposition cannot be intelligible or consistent, if the perceptions are not so [Hume] |
Full Idea: No proposition can be intelligible or consistent with regard to objects, which is not so with regard to perceptions. | |
From: David Hume (Treatise of Human Nature, + Appendix [1740], Appendix) | |
A reaction: An interesting variant on expressions of the empiricist principle. Presumably one can say intelligible things about Escher drawings. |
