Introduction......Page 269
§ 1 Mathematics arrives at all its definitions synthetically, whereas philosophy arrives at its definitions analytically......Page 270
§ 2 Mathematics, in its analyses, proofs, and inferences examines the universal under signs in concreto; philosophy examines the universal by means of signs in abstracto......Page 272
§ 3 In mathematics, unanalyzable concepts and indemonstrable propositions are few in number, whereas in philosophy they are innumerable......Page 274
§ 4 The object of mathematics is easy and simple, whereas that of philosophy is difficult and involved......Page 276
Second Reflection: The only method for attaining the highest possible degree of certainty in metaphysics......Page 277
Example of the only certain method for metaphysics illustrated by reference to our cognition of the nature of bodies......Page 281
§ 1 Philosophical certainty is altogether different in nature from mathematical certainty......Page 285
§ 2 Metaphysics is capable of a certainty which is sufficient to produce conviction......Page 287
§ 3 The certainty of the first fundamental truths of metaphysics is not of a kind different from that of any other rational cognition, apart from mathematics......Page 288
§ 1 The fundamental principles of natural theology are capable of the greatest philosophical certainty......Page 291
§ 2 The fundamental principles of morality in their present state are not capable of all the certainty necessary to produce conviction......Page 293
