275 (N. E. 320)]. But how blue and yellow would appear, if they were distinctly perceived, he does not inform us. He seems to think, however, as was natural to one who believed in analytic judgments, that the nature of our evidence for necessary and for sensational truths is different. The first truth of reason, he says, is the law of contradiction, whilst the first truths of fact are as many as the immediate perceptions. That I think is no more immediate than that various things are thought by... me, and this is iirged as a criticism of Des Cartes' cogito [G. IV. 357 (D. 48)]. That is' to say, the law of contradiction is the sole ultimate premiss for necessary truths, but for con- tingent truths there are as many ultimate premisses as there are experiences. Nothing, he says, should be taken as primitive principles, except experiences and the law of identity or contra- diction, without which last there would be no difference be- tween truth and falsehood [G. v. 14 (D. 94 ; N. E. 13)]. Thus many truths of fact have no evidence except self-evidence, but this is only the case, among necessary truths, as regards the law of contradiction.
