  In Chapter XIII of the book "Some Further Considerations Concerning our Knowledge" the author explains that knowledge is partly necessary, partly voluntary. Men that have senses cannot choose but receive some ideas by them, and if they have memory, they cannot but retain some of them. What a man does see, he cannot see otherwise than he does, and what he perceives, he can only know that he sees.

  The idea of solidity comes from the resistance of body to the entrance of any other body into the place it possesses. This resistance keeps other bodies out of the space which it possesses, so great that no force can surmount it. The world is built on the supposition that the world is based on the ideas of space and motion.

  Probability is the appearance of agreement upon fallible proofs. It is likeliness to be true, the notation of the word signifying such a proposition, for which there are arguments or proofs to make it pass, or be received for true.

  The different degrees of clearness of our knowledge lie in the different way of perception the mind has of the agreement or disagreement of any of its ideas. Intuitive knowledge is the clearest and most certain that human frailty is capable of. The next degree of knowledge is demonstrative, where the mind perceives the agreement of ideas but not immediately.

  Koncerning the Extent of Human Knowledge, it follows that knowledge extends no further than the perception of the agreement or disagreement of ideas. Intuitive knowledge extends itself not to all the relations of all our ideas. Sensitive knowledge is narrower than rational knowledge and demonstrative knowledge.

  Infinite and infinite are the modes of quantity. The idea of God is related to his duration, ubiquity, and power, wisdom, and goodness. The ideas of space, duration, and number are related to expansion and contraction. Our idea of space is boundless, which naturally leads us to the idea of infinity.

  The names of simple ideas, mixed modes, and natural substances have each something peculiar and different from the other. Simple ideas are undefinable, and the names of complex ideas are not. A definition is nothing more than the showing the meaning of one word by several other not synonymous terms.

  There are two types of ideas: adequate and inadequate. Simple ideas are adequate because they are the effects of certain powers in things, fitted and ordained by God to produce sensations in us. Complex ideas of modes are adequate as they are collections of simple ideas without reference to archetypes.

  Faith and reason are two different types of knowledge. Faith is the assent to any proposition, not made out by the deductions of reason, but on the credit of the proposer. Revelation is the discovery of the certainty or probability of propositions or truths. Words, by their immediate operation on us, cause no other ideas but of their natural sounds. Words excite and revive latent ideas but only such ideas as were there before.

  Simple ideas are the materials of all our knowledge. They are as distinct and distinct in the mind as those of the greatest distance or contrariety. The idea of two is as distinct from that of one as blueness from heat, or either of them from any number. Each different distance is a different modification of space. The power of repeating or doubling any idea of any distance is that which gives us the idea of immensity.
