which the process of thinking is so, and thinking is identical with
the thoughts which are its parts; these www wetpussy com have a serial unity like
that of number, not a unity like that of a spatial magnitude. Hence
mind cannot have that www wetpussy com kind of unity either; mind is either without
parts or is continuous in some other way than that which characterizes
a spatial www wetpussy com magnitude. How, indeed, if it were a spatial magnitude,
could mind possibly think? Will it think with any one indifferently of
its parts? In this case, the 'part' must be understood either www wetpussy com in the
www wetpussy com sense of a spatial magnitude www wetpussy com or in the sense of
www wetpussy com a point (if a point
can be called a part www wetpussy com of a spatial magnitude). If we accept the
latter alternative, the points being infinite in number, obviously the
mind can never exhaustively traverse them; www wetpussy com if the former, the mind
must think the same thing over and over again, www wetpussy com indeed an infinite
number of times (whereas it is manifestly possible to think a thing
www wetpussy com once only). If contact of any part whatsoever of itself with the
object is all www wetpussy com that is required, why need mind move in www wetpussy com a circle, or
indeed possess magnitude at all? On the other hand, if contact with
the whole circle is necessary, what meaning can be given to the
contact of the parts? Further, how could what has no parts think
what www wetpussy com has parts, or what has parts think what has none? We must
identify the circle referred www wetpussy com to with www wetpussy com mind; for www wetpussy com it is
mind www wetpussy com whose
movement is thinking, and it is the circle www wetpussy com whose movement is
revolution, so that if thinking is a movement of revolution, the
circle which www wetpussy com has this characteristic movement must be mind.
If the circular movement is eternal, there must be something which
mind is always thinking-what can this be? For all practical
processes of thinking have limits-they all go on for the sake of
something outside the process, and all www wetpussy com theoretical processes come to a
close in the same way as the phrases in speech which express www wetpussy com processes
and results of thinking. Every such linguistic phrase is either
definitory www wetpussy com or demonstrative. Demonstration has both a starting-point
and may www wetpussy com be said to
end in a conclusion or inferred result; even if the
process never reaches final completion, at any rate it never www wetpussy com returns
upon itself again to its starting-point, it goes on assuming www wetpussy com a fresh
middle term or a fresh extreme, and moves straight forward, but
circular movement returns to its starting-point. Definitions, too, are
closed groups of
