preconceptions, and between preconceptions and external reality, warranted.
The former of these hath begotten two arts, both of prediction or prenotion whereof the one is honoured with the inquiry of Aristotle, and the other of Hippocrates. It is known, too, that people often say strange things from confused or indistinct recollections of what has befallen them in a prior state of existence, or from prenotion or intuition of things as yet unknown to others and although in the sciences we accept nothing as conclusive that is not confirmed by experiment, the vastness or strangeness of the thought, far from attracting ridicule, generally leads to inquiry, experiments, and results.Īnother World Fragments from the Star City of Montalluyah of definition at 2.5 and Torquatus language here reinforces the notion that. The wonderful art and contrivance wherewith it is adjusted to those ends and purposes for which it was apparently designed, the vast extent, number, and variety of objects that are at once with so much ease and quickness and pleasure suggested by it: all these afford subject for much and pleasing speculation, and may, if anything, give us some glimmering analogous prenotion of things which are placed beyond the certain discovery and comprehension of our present state.
