In its functions as doubt it is called mânâs, as originating definite cognitions it is called buddhi.
It cannot be said that such a logical category does not exist, for all our dream and illusory cognitions demonstrate it to us.
Cognitions are not indeed absolutely formless, for they have the cognitional character by which things are illumined and manifested.
The fact that many cognitions cannot occur at any one moment indicates the existence of mind (manas).
Thus the former admitted a special procedure of the mind by whichcognitions of number arose in the mind (e.
But in cases of illusory perception other perceptions or cognitions dawn which carry with them the notion that our original knowledge was not valid.
So the element of apprehension involved in doubtful cognitions should be regarded as self-valid as any other cognition.
For the brain-consciousness is merely his method of regarding and comprehending the neurographical deliveries, the psychic code by which he systematizes and organizes his cognitions or impressions of the sensible world.
All cognitions contribute in greater or less proportion towards that end: but what contributes most, and most essentially, is the cognition of good and evil, without which all the rest are insufficient.
How can there be any cognition, which is not cognition of a given cognitum, but cognition merely of other cognitions and non-cognitions?
Emotions are always determined by specific cognitions, and last only as long as the influence of those cognitions lasts.
All higher emotions are determined by cognitions--sensations or ideas; they therefore vary according as the cognitions vary, and the nature of a cognition may very largely depend upon reflection or insight.
The cognitions by which non-moral resentment and gratitude are determined are thus, as regards their general nature, precisely similar to those which determine moral indignation and approval.
Certain cognitions inspire fear in nearly every breast; but there are brave men and cowards in the world, independently of the accuracy with which they realise impending danger.
Arising merely from the habitual connection of certain cognitions with certain feelings in the experience of the spectator, it is, strictly speaking, not at all concerned with the feelings of the other person.
Hamilton will not deny that many of the cognitions which he describes as elicited by experience are untrue or exaggerated.
The difference, so far as I can see, between Hamilton and the Inductive School, is not so much about the process whereby cognitions are acquired, as about the mode of testing and measuring the authority of those cognitions when acquired.
The fact is, that, though we do not from the first possess any such complete and accurate cognitions as these, we have from the first an inborn capacity or potentiality of arriving at them.
But if the negative were granted, that there exist no cognitions both estimable and worthless, you could not for that reason infer that there are no habits of mind estimable and worthless.
In Constructive cognitions without Matter, the Form and the [Greek: t.
This is impossible (Aristotle declares); we cannot have such valuable and accurate cognitions from the first moments of childhood, and yet not be at all aware of them.
What is the difference between cognitions elicited through experience, and cognitions derived from experience?
The men of special instruction begin with it, as others do; but they also superadd other cognitions or accomplishments derived from peculiar teachers.
With us, on the contrary, as with some other animals, the data of perception are preserved by memory; accordingly our cognitions include both perceptions and remembrances.
Aristotle cannot believe that the mind includes cognitionsof such value, without being conscious thereof.
Thus, if the respondent grants that there exist cognitions both estimable and worthless, you are warranted in inferring that there exist habits of mind estimable and worthless; for cognition is a species under the genus habit of mind.
Must we then admit (says Sokrates) those cognitions also in music, which we declared to be full of conjecture and imitation, without any pure truth or certainty?
That would be a ludicrous position indeed (remarks Protarchus), to have his mind full of the divine Ideas or cognitions only.
Pleasures are unlike to each other, and even opposite cognitions are so likewise 336 Whether Pleasure, or Wisdom, corresponds to this description?
Suggestion of Theaetetus--That there may be non-cognitions in the mind as well as cognitions, and that false opinion may consist in confounding one with the other.
But it is far the most plausible objection which can be brought against that doctrine, and it is an objection deduced from the facts or cognitions of sense.
As different pleasures are unlike to each other, so also different cognitions (or modes of intelligence) are unlike to each other; though all of them agree in being cognitions.
Side-note: Pleasures are unlike to each other, and even opposite cognitions are so likewise.
Now pleasures will readily consent to the companionship of cognitions: but cognitions (or Reason, upon whom they depend) will not tolerate the companionship of all pleasures indiscriminately.
Taking Dialectic as the maximum or Verissimum, Plato classifies other sciences or cognitions according as they approach closer to it in truth or exactness--according as they contain more of precise measurement and less of conjecture.
Truth is that which, being deemed conceivable, and being really perceived, has also the quality of finding its place, its relation, and its confirmation in the whole mass of cognitions previously acquired.
Neither the specific cognitions nor their objects are real in the true sense of the word, for both are altogether due to Mâyâ.
Our cognitions must, doubtless, have some resting-point, and this we shall now investigate.
The first starting-point of our cognitions is this intimate presence of our internal acts, abstraction made of the questions which may be raised upon their nature.
The idea of extension is the basis of all our cognitions of bodies.
Propositions of this class are few in all sciences; the greater part of our cognitions are the fruit of reasoning which proceeds by mediate evidence.
It is even ridiculous to say that the cognitions of the sublimest philosophers may be reduced to this equation: A is A.
Therefore, they who attack the certainty of our cognitions because of the difficulty of distinguishing between these states, make use of a very weak argument, and rely upon a fact entirely false.
Can all Cognitions be reduced to the Perception of Identity?
We thought we ought to commence with smell, because of all the senses this is the one which least contributes to cognitions of the mind.
Contingent beings are subject to the condition of time, and all cognitions relating to them must always depend on this condition.
The resuscitation of forms or cognitions arises from suggestion as a condition.
If the cognition or belief can be resolved into several cognitions or beliefs, it is complex, and so, no longer original.
You have an immediate, irresistible conviction that the object of these several cognitions is one and the same.
Identity is a relation between ourcognitions of a thing, not between things themselves.
I would employ the word noetic to express all those cognitions which originate in the mind itself.
The esoteric study of God and identity, as of cognitions and notions, is philosophy itself.
Plato calls Ideas veritable beings, [Greek: ta ontos onta], since they alone communicate to sensible things and to human cognitions their truth and their unity.
In whatever time I place a human understanding, it will know them, but in knowing them it will find them truths, it will not make them such, for ourcognitions do not make their objects, but suppose them.
And hence the universal formal criteria of truth are nothing but universal logical marks of agreement of cognitions with themselves, or, what is the same thing, with the general laws of the understanding and the Reason.
Judgment is nothing but the mode of bringing cognitions to the objective unity of apperception," i.
From the law of causality spring two corollaries which, in virtue of this origin, are accredited as cognitions à priori, therefore as unquestionable and without exception.
In these exercises he acquires, with the aid of the special portfolio which comes with the material, actual and real cognitions in geometry.
They are the processes which lead to that inner maturation which gives a deeper realization of cognitions and which results in bursts of spontaneous synthesis and abstraction.
First, as opposed to the theory of partial relativity generally held by the pre-Kantian philosophers, according to which our sensitivecognitions are relative, our intellectual ones absolute.
AB] Hamilton, like Kant, maintained that all our cognitions are compounded of two elements, one contributed by the object known, and the other by the mind knowing.
Within a few days The Brain's cognitions appear to have arisen above the stage toward which all our sciences have been so slowly and ploddingly advanced for centuries.
But if cognitions are to admit of communicability, so must also the state of mind,--i.
But such a unity must be necessarily presupposed and assumed, for otherwise there would be no thoroughgoing connexion of empirical cognitions in a whole of experience.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "cognitions" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
