The visible universe is subject to quantification, and is so by necessity. โฆ Between you and me only reason will be the judge โฆ since you proceed according to the rational method, so shall I. โฆ I will also give reason and take it. โฆ This generation has an innate vice. It canโt accept anything that has been discovered by a contemporary!

For by the possession of this function he exceeds the beasts to such a degree that he subdues. โฆ You see, therefore, how much the gift of reason surpasses mere physical equipment.
