Nor is internal perception the means, since you cannot establish that the mind has any power to act independently towards an external object, since all allow that it is dependent on the external senses, as has been said by one of the logicians, "The eye, etc., have their objects as described; but mind externally is dependent on the others.
Página 211 - As are the letters in number and kind, whose power is perceived in conveying any given meaning of a word, so will be the meaning which they convey." Therefore, as there is a well-known rule that when the same fault attaches to both sides of an argument it cannot be urged against one alone, we maintain that the hypothesis of the existence of a separate thing called sphota is unnecessary, as we have proved that it is the letters which express the word's meaning [your arguments against our view having...
