Section 610 of 1,114
Canonical reference B2.C33.S9
English
Project Gutenberg transcription of Locke author text
This wrong connexion in our minds of ideas in themselves loose and independent of one another, has such an influence, and is of so great force to set us awry in our actions, as well moral as natural, passions, reasonings, and notions themselves, that perhaps there is not any one thing that deserves more to be looked after.
French
Pierre Coste · Pierre Mortier, Amsterdam, 1735, third edition
Cette connexion irréguliére qui ſe fait dans notre Eſprit, de certaines idées qui ne ſont point unies par elles-mêmes, ni dépendantes l’une de l’autre, a une ſi grande influence ſur nous, & eſt ſi capable de mettre du travers dans nos actions tant morales que naturelles, dans nos Paſſions, dans nos raiſonnemens, & dans nos Notions mêmes, qu’il n’y a peut-être rien qui mérite davantage que nous nous appliquions à le conſiderer pour le prévenir ou le corriger le plûtôt que nous pourrons.
