An Essay Concerning Human Understanding Section S21
Section 596 of 1,114
Canonical reference B2.C32.S21
English
Project Gutenberg transcription of Locke author text
When judged agreeable to another Man’s Idea, without being so.
First, when the mind having any idea, it JUDGES and concludes it the same that is in other men’s minds, signified by the same name; or that it is conformable to the ordinary received signification or definition of that word, when indeed it is not: which is the most usual mistake in mixed modes, though other ideas also are liable to it.
French
Pierre Coste · Pierre Mortier, Amsterdam, 1735, third edition
Prémiérement, lorſque l’Eſprit ayant une idée, juge & conclut qu’elle eſt la même que celle qui eſt dans l’Eſprit des autres hommes, exprimée par le même nom ; ou qu’elle répond à la ſignification ou définition ordinaire & communément reçuë de ce Mot, lorſqu’elle n’y répond pas effectivement : mépriſe qu’on commet le plus ordinairement à l’égard des Modes mixtes, quoi qu’on y tombe auſſi à l’égard d’autres Idées.
