is true; firstly, because even if sensation-at least of the object peculiar to the sense in question-is not false, still appearance is not the same as sensation.-Again, it is fair to express surprise at our opponents’ raising the question whether magnitudes are as great, and colours are of such a nature, as they appear to people at a distance, or as they appear to those close at hand, and whether they are such as they appear to the healthy or to the sick, and whether those things are heavy which appear so to the weak or those which appear so to the strong, and those things true which appear Men Denim Jackets to the slee ing or to the waking. For obviously they do not think these to be open questions; no one, at least, if when he is in Libya he Vans Damskie has fancied one night that he is in Athens, starts for the concert hall.-And again with regard to the future, as Plato says, surely the opinion of the physician and that of the ignorant man are not equally weighty, for instance, on the question whether a man will get well or not.-And again, among sensations themselves the sensation of a foreign object and that of the appropriate object, or that of a kindred object and that of the object of the sense in question, are not equally authoritative, but in the case of colour sight, not Men Track & Running Shorts taste, has the authority, and in the case of flavour taste, not sight; each of which senses never says at the same time of the same object that it simultaneously is ‘so and not so’.-But not even at different times does one sense disagree about the quality, but only about that to which the quality belongs. I mean, for instance, that the same wine might seem, if either it or one’s body changed, at one time sweet and at another time not sweet; but at least the sweet, such as it is when it exists, has never yet changed, but one is always right about it, and that which is to be sweet is of necessity of such and such a nature. Yet all these views destroy this necessity, leaving nothing to be of necessity, as they leave no essence of anything; for the necessary cannot be in this way and also in that, Dame so that if anything is of necessity, it will not be ‘both so and not so’.
And, in general, if only the sensible exists, there would be nothing if animate things were not; for there would be no faculty of sense. Now the Buty New Shoes view that neither the sensible qualities nor the sensations would exist is doubtless true (for Męskie Vans Canvas Chukka Boot they are Menn Adidas Shorts affections of the perceiver), but that the substrata which cause the sensation should not exist even apart from sensation is impossible. For sensation is surely not the sensation of itself, but there is something beyond the sensation, which must Women Backpacks be prior to Vans Tops Women the sensation; for that which moves is Men Hats prior in nature to that which is moved, and if they are correlative terms, this is no less the case.

There are, both among those who have these convictions and among those who merely profess Męskie Vans Fleece Lining Sk8-Hi these views, some who raise a difficulty by asking, who is to Dame be the judge of the healthy man, and in general who is likely to judge rightly on each clinks:
