They are (1) number, (2) extension, (3) individuality, (4) conjunction, (5) disjunction, (6) priority, (7) posteriority, and (8) impression. Section 2.-Attribute 1. Attributes Perceptible and Imperceptible Which of these twenty-four attributes are perceptible; which are imperceptible? Colour, taste, smell, and touch are either perceptible or imperceptible. In what conditions are they perceptible? They are perceptible when they abide in large substances and more than one substance. In what conditions are they imperceptible? They are imperceptible when they abide in atoms and binary atomic compounds. Sound is altogether perceptible. Number, extension, individuality, conjunction, disjunction, priority, posteriority, fluidity, viscidity, and impetus are discriminated as in the case of colour, taste, smell, and touch. Cognition, pleasure, pain, desire, aversion, and effort are perceptible to self. Merit, demerit, impression (and gravity) are only imperceptible. 2. Attributes as Products and Non-products Which of these attributes are products; which are nonproducts? Cognition, pleasure, pain, desire, aversion, effort, merit, demerit, impression, disjunction, priority, posteriority, and sound are only products. The other attributes are either products or nonproducts. Colour, taste, smell, and touch are, if they are possessed by earth, altogether products. Colour, taste, touch, fluidity, and viscidity, when inherent in (aqueous) atoms, are non-products, and the same attributes, when inherent in binary atomic compounds, are products. Gravity is explained in like manner. Colour and touch abiding in fire, and touch abiding in wind, are explained like the attributes of water. Fluidity abiding in both earth and fire is altogether a product. Number one (=unity) and single individuality are either products or non-products, according as they abide in produced substances or non-produced substances, and numbers from duality upwards and dual individualities, etc., are altogether products. Largeness, smallness, shortness, and length are altogether products, but sphericity is always non-product. Conjunctions of corporeal substances with another corporeal, and those of corporeal substances with another incorporeal substance, are products. 3. Attributes Eternal and Non-eternal Eternality and non-eternality of attributes are explained as in the case of products and non-products. 4. Varying Perceptibility of Attributes Of these attributes sound, touch, colour, taste, and smell are severally perceived by one sense-organ, number, extension, individuality, conjunction, disjunction, priority, posteriority, fluidity, viscidity, and impetus are perceived by the sight- and the touch-organ. 5. Causes of Attributes What have these attributes as their causes? (1) Colour, taste, smell, and touch, which have things of the same class as their causes (are those which) are inherent in binary atomic compounds (etc.). (2) Those which have conjunction with fire as their cause. are the colour, the taste, the smell, and the touch in the atoms belonging to earth, and the fluidity possessed by both earth and fire. (3) The gravity possessed by both earth and water, and the fluidity and the viscidity possessed by water-these (three), when inherent in binary atomic compounds, etc., have things of the same class as their causes. (4) Number one (=unity) and single individuality, when inherent in binary atomic compounds, etc., have things of the same class as their causes. The numbers from duality upwards and the individualities in dual individualities have things of both the same class and different classes as their causes. Single individuality has its notion as its cause. (5) Largeness and length are caused by plurality and have each a kind of aggregation (of atoms) as their cause. Smallness and shortness have (one substance produced by) two (atoms) as their cause. (6) Conjunction and disjunction have the action of one of the two conjunct things and of the disjunct things, the actions of both, conjunction and disjunction as their causes. (7) Priority and posteriority have each as their causes (a substance which) occupies the same time, etc., and (upon which) depend the notion of remoteness and (8) nearness. Cognition is twofold, perception and inference. (9) Perception is fourfold, (1) doubtful perception, (2) decisive perception, (3) imperfect perception, and (4) perfect perception. (10) What is the cause of doubtful perception? Doubtful perception is that which is preceded by the perception of properties common to more than one object, has its cause in contact of self with mind caused by the recollection of specific properties of the alternatives, and is the knowledge in deliberation, as "which is this?" (11) What is the cause of decisive perception? Decisive perception is that which is preceded by doubtful perception, has its cause in contact of self with mind caused by the ascertainment of the specific property of one of the alternatives, and is the knowledge in assertion, as "it is this". (12) What is the cause of imperfect perception? Imperfect perception is that which is preceded by the perception of properties common to more than one object, has its cause in contact of self with mind caused by taking improperly the specific property of one of the alternatives for that of the other, and is the knowledge in incorrect assertion. (13) What is the cause of perfect perception? Perfect perception is that which is preceded by the perception of properties common to more than one object, has its cause in contact of self with mind caused by the perception of the specific property of one of the alternatives, and is knowledge without error. (14) Inference is also classified and explained, as in the case of perception. (15) Perception is produced in three ways, (1) perception |
