it may be held.
The intellect did not make this hypothesis. The intellect makes
no hypotheses , which are incomprehensible. The intellect is not
therefore alone concerned in any proposition.

capable of being made distinct. Hence it is emotional in its own
nature. And as an emotion it is justified.
