Logic
J.B.'s new ideas derived from Logic.
1. Division of entitie sinto real and ficiitious: i.e. [/or say] Division of nouns substantive into names of real entities and names of fictitious entities. By [/the] division and distinction thus brought to view, great p/?] is the light thrown upon the whole field oflogic, and thereby over the whole field of art and science: men especially the folo defectical, 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 correspnodent reality: in a word that mere fiction are in abundance mistaken for [regarded as] realities. D'Alembert is the author from p/in] whose works the [/notion] idea of this distinction was observed by me [u/ 'entre fictif'] is the exprepor employed by him for the designation of the kind of object for the designation of which the appellati [u/ fictitious entity] has ever since been employed. In speaking of the faculties of the mind, the same distinction [/will] sho be found occasionally brought to view in the philosophical works of Voltaire.
