'Which'! The 'man' is self-conscious alike when he remembers, wills, and understands; but in what sense is the generic term "memory" conscious to the generic word "will?" This is mere nonsense. Are memory, understanding, and volition persons, self-subsistents? If not, what are they to the purpose?
Ib. p. 45. Then, that the will must follow the practical intellect whether right or wrong, that is no precept, but the nature of the soul in its acting, because that the will is 'potentia cæca, non nata ad intelligendum, sed ad volendum vel nolendum intellectum'. This is the main fault in Baxter's metaphysics, that he so often substantiates distinctions into dividuous self-subsistents.
