Example text
However, the right and the left and the other kinds of differences of position can also be attributed by analogy to things lacking senses, as in l. 11, last } D. Communia praediorum,14 where right and left in a stream are assigned to the banks, but not to the source and the mouth. From this we infer that we must consider the movement of things, and pretend either that they are animals or that an animal is moving in that place. Which, then, will be the right side and which the left one must now likewise be judged.
5. 6. 7. 1 Specimen of Philosophical Questions Collected from the Law as H. Grotius, Florum sparsio ad jus Justinianaeum, at the law 1, proem, D. De acquirenda possessione,12 observes. Hence an elegant analogy appears between possession and the position or location of bodies in a place. As to the reason why bodies cannot enter into and occupy other bodies, it was masterly discussed by Godefroy at the mentioned l. 3. 13 And all heavy bodies would be collected in a single point around the centre.
If several loves are collinear, their efficacies are compounded into one. If several equal loves concur obliquely, the product is the mean of their efficacies obliquely, that is to say in such a way that a third can be chosen [intermediate between them]” (A VI/1 479). 83 Leibniz’s final remark (A VI/1 480) seems to identify a further ground for the intimate connection between these two domains, for he invokes the notion of an ether or universal spirit (introduced in the Hypothesis physica nova) as a tool through which God would establish a perfect harmony between minds and bodies.
