Weaker: for the truth of (34) it is enough that my eyes simply rest on the object d. I do not need to recognize it as d. >Predication, >Identification, >Individuation; cf. >Strength of theories._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
