Je ne pousserai pas plus loin ce que j’avais dessein d’exposer dans ce scholie, et je termine ici ma seconde partie. Je crois y avoir expliqué avec assez d’étendue et, autant que la difficulté de la matière le comporte, avec assez de clarté, la nature de l’âme humaine et ses propriétés : je crois y avoir donnée des principes d’où l’on peut tirer un grand nombre de belles conséquences, utiles à la vie, nécessaires à la science, et c’est ce qui sera établi, du moins en partie, par la suite de ce traité.

Codex gpt-5.6-sol · Non-official working translation · 2026-09-11
I shall carry no further what I intended to set forth in this scholium, and I end my second part here. I believe that in it I have explained at sufficient length and, so far as the difficulty of the subject permits, with sufficient clarity, the nature of the human mind and its properties. I believe I have given principles from which a great number of fine consequences may be drawn, useful for life and necessary for knowledge, and this will be established, at least in part, in the remainder of this treatise.
