1 Every particular thing, like the human body, must be 2 conditioned by another particular thing to exist and operate in a 3 fixed and definite relation; this other particular thing must 4 likewise be conditioned by a third, and so on to infinity. (I. 5 xxviii.) As we have shown in the foregoing proposition, from 6 this common property of particular things, we have only a very 7 inadequate knowledge of the duration of our body; we must draw a 8 similar conclusion with regard to the duration of particular 9 things, namely, that we can only have a very inadequate knowledge 10 of the duration thereof.
