It is contrary to reasoning to say that there is a vacuum or space in which there is absolutely nothing.
Rene DescartesIt is to the body alone that we should attribute everything that can be observed in us to oppose our reason.
Rene DescartesIf we possessed a thorough knowledge of all the parts of the seed of any animal (e.g. man), we could from that alone, be reasons entirely mathematical and certain, deduce the whole conformation and figure of each of its members, and, conversely if we knew several peculiarities of this conformation, we would from those deduce the nature of its seed.
