Posology
ulto
II Morphoscopics
§ Media of demonstration
&c
2 2
4
No proposition in
Geometry but has its
media of derivation,
and demonstration
or effectuation.
4. Thus much being presented, — it will be sufficiently
evident that no proposition in Posology — no proposition for example
in Euclid;s Elements of Geometry can be mentioned
that has not its medium of demonstration or its medium
of effectuation, as above, as the case may be as above, belonging to it.
5
Hence, in regard to
each, comes a propos
question — what is the
medium of demonstration
or effectuation belonging
to it?
5. In regard to each and every one of these same propositions, —
now then — comes suggests itself the enquiry,— which is the medium of demonstration
or effectuation, as the case may be — that belongs to it?
6
Strange that no such
question should have
been as yet answered
or propounded.
6. To this question — after so many hundred not to say
thousands of years employed by so many intelligent men
in the teaching of Geometry, — what might naturally be expected
is — that axioms, applications — one to every such
proposition would have been found, and congruent to writing
in company with the propositions themselves, and the demonstrations
given of them. No such thing: down to at this day the present this
still remains to be performed. Let us try what we can make
of it.
