Logic

J.B.'s new ideas derived from Logic.

1. Division of entities into real and ficiitious: i.e. or say
Division of nouns substantive into names of real entities
and names of fictitious entities.

By this the division and distinction thus brought to
view, great signic is the light thrown upon the whole field
of logic, and thereby over the whole field of art and science:
more especially the folo psychical, and thence the ethical
or moral branch of science.

It is for want of a clear conception of this distinction
that many an empty name is considered
as the representation of a correspondent reality: in a word
that mere fictions are in abundance mistaken for regarded as
realities.

D'Alembert is the author from in whose works† † Melanges de Litterature et de Philosophie
the notion idea of this distinction was observed by an
être is the expression employed by him for the
disti designation of the kind of object for the designation of
which the appellate fictitious entity has
ever since been employed.

In speaking of the faculties of the mind, the
same distinction has will also be found occasionally
brought to view in the philosophical works of Voltaire.
