THOUGHTS AND AFORISMS

.

Science and experience

De anima. The motion of the earth against the earth by tracing that, little move the beaten part, the water struck by the water circulates around the beaten spot.

For 1 (Marinoni estimates that “for” is perhaps for “more” and would therefore propose to imply a “rush” to complete the sentence.) Long distancia the voice in the air. Longer infra `l focus. The more the mind is in the universe. But because it is not over, it is not infinite.

Let us make our life with others death. – In the dead thing remains a desensitized life, which rejoins the living stomachs with a sensitive and sensual life.

Motion is the cause of every life

2 (We have seen how much part in the theoretical art the movimiento occupies: here it becomes essence and cause of life.)

Nature is full of infinite reasons that are never inexperienced.

3 (Despite his faith in experience, L. admits that there are infinite “reasons” in nature, which escape experimental control.

The scientist is the captain and the practice is the soldiers

4 (Also about the theory and practice L. has expressed the relationship with an axiomatic incisiveness.

Yes, as eating without desire is harmful to health, so the study without Desiderio spoils the memory and does not believe that it does.

Always the words that do not saddened in the ear of the alditore give them tedium ovver regret. It is the sign of this that you will often see these builders being copious with disagreements. Wherever you speak to men of whom you seek benevolent, when you see such miracles

5 (Manifestations) of regret, shorten your speech or you change reasoning, and if you do other things, then on the spot of the desired grace, you will acquire hatred and nimicizia.

And if you see what one delights without hearing and talk to him, talk to him changing different reasoning and that where you see him being intent without glaring or twisting of eyelashes or other various actions, be sure that what he talks about is that of that he delights, etc.

.

6 (The passage illuminates one of the characteristics of the personality of L, who was so fascinating a talker and «so pleasant in the conversation that he drew the spirits of himself», says Vasari)

 Of the sciencies. – No certainty is where one can not apply one of the mathematical sciences, or that they are not combined with mathematical exercises.

.

7 (See Painting Treaty.)

O the speculator of things, do not let yourself know the things ordinarily by itself nature leads. But rejoice to know the purpose of those things that are drawn from your mind.

Dell’error of those who use the practice without a scientist. – Those who are in love with practice without a scientist are like the helmsmen who enter navy without a rudder or compass, which never has the certainty where it goes.

And he made many shops with deceptions and fake miracles, deceiving the foolish multitude, and if no one became aware of their deception, they punished him.

Every man wants to make capital to give doctors, destructors of lives. Therefore they must be rich.

.

8 (It is an arrow against doctors who become rich at the expense of their victims.)

The experience, interpreting in between the artifice of nature and the human spices, marks what its nature in mortal fray uses from a constricted necessity, not otherwise operating the reason, and you do not have to experiment with it.

No effect is in nature without reason; you mean the reason and you do not have to experiment with it.

10 (this passage ocupa the last part of the sheet 154 rb of the Atlantic Codex with the passage a and C. It is the same thought, for which L. seeks the best form.) A) The experience does not make it, but only fállanlo our judgments, promising of that effect that in and our experiments caused are not. Because, given a principle, it is necessary that the seal of a bird is a true consequence of this principle, if it had not already been prevented; and if any impediment followed, the effect which was to follow from the aforesaid principle, participates so much more or less than the impediment, how much impediment is more or less powerful than the already said principle.

b) The experience never fails, but only makes our judgments, promising of her that things are not in her power. Wrongly lamented is the mini of experience, which they accuse of being fallacious with Somme rampogne. But let it be experience, and turn this lamentation against your ignorance, which makes you pass with your vain and wanting wishes to impose on you those things that are not in its power, by saying that you are fallacious.

c.- Wrongly complaining mini of the inocente esperienzia that accusing of fallacie and liar demonstrations.

11 (L. repeats here what he has summarized in the aphorism, No. 4 and will again say in No. 16)

        16. Who promises from experience that which is not her, differs from reason.

        17. As the eye and the rocket of the sun and the mind are the fastest motions that are. – The sun, immediately appearing in the east, immediately spreads to the west, which are composed of three spiritual powers: splendor, warmth, and the spices of their form, cause.

The eye, súbito ch`e opened, sees all the stars of our emisperio. The moment one jumps from the east to the west, and all the other 12 (The Marinoni proposes the correction “others”, which we have accepted in the text, to the “high” of the ms.) Spiritual things are of far dissimilar for speed to these.

      18. It is not to blame the grafting into the order of the scientist’s proce- dure any general rule arising from the aforesaid conclusion.

      19. In time, everything must vary.

      20. Given the cause, nature operates the effect in the shortest way that one can work.

      21. Every action made by nature can not be done with more brieve way with the same means.

      22. Given the causes, nature gives birth to the effects for more brievi ways that one can do.

  23. Each instrument has to be operated with the experience it was born.

 24. Ask if all the infinitives are equal or greater than each other.

You answer that every infinity is eternal and eternal things are equal premanent, but not of length of age, because what was in effect first begun to divide, has passed more age, but the times to come are equals.

 25. Yes, as every kingdom in itself divided is defeated, so every ingenuity divided into different studies is confused and weakened. 13 (A retreat into oneself?) But he can not be confused and weakened by the many interests of study.)

26. Move the lover for the cosanta as the sense and the 14 (It can perhaps read “glue” (with the).) Sensitive and with seco s` unite and fassi a thing same.

The work is the first thing that is born of the union.

If the beloved thing is vile, the lover becomes vile.

When the unified thing is convenient to its unifier, it is followed by pleasure and pleasure and sadness.

When the lover has come to his beloved, he rests there.

When the weight is laid, it rests there.

The thing cognized with our intellect. 15 (The thesis is that love and weight produce movimiento, which is acquired for the first in the possession of the beloved thing, and is placed for the other, so it happens for the intellect that moves in search of knowledge: « the cognacious thing “gives” delight “, pleasure and” sadness “.)

27. There are four powers: memory and intellect, liable to 16 (Stairs for “irascible”) and concupiscible. The first two are reasonable and the other sensual.

De`cinque senses, to see smell uldir are of little prohibition, touch and taste, no.

The adored leads with the taste in the dog and other sweet tooth.

28. All spiritual powers as far as possible from the first or second cause, the more they occupy the site, the more they diminish their value.

29. Each of our cognitions princes from feelings.

30. Every homo is always in the middle of the world and under the head of his emisperio and above the center of the world.

31. The senses are terrestrial, the reason lies for those when it contemplates.

32. The water that touches de’umium is the last of the one that went and the first of the one that comes. Thus the present time.

33. Every action must be carried out by motorcycle.

Cognoscere and wanting are two human operations.

Discerning judging advice are human acts.

Our body is subjected to heaven and heaven is subjected to the spirit.

34. The soul can never be corrupted in the body’s curriculum, mafa in similitude of the wind which caused the reign of a reed, which did not result, for that, of the good effect wind. 17 (A definition of the soul, which testifies of L.’s convictions on human spirituality.)

35. Or speculators of the continuous motion, how many vain designs in similar look ave`creati! Accompany the gold searcher bags! 18 (Perpetual motion researchers are worthy cronies of necromancy lovers.)

36. Nature appears here in many or many animals to be cruel stepmother sooner than mother and of some non-stepmother but flat mother.

37. Every body is composed of those members and omors, which are necessary for its maintenance; which necessity is well known and to that sheltered by the soul that this form of body to its dwelling for a time has elected.

See the fish that, due to the continual confusion that it makes with its water by necessity, from its soul, child of nature, is provided to give birth to the porosity that is found under the scales, certainly viscid sweat, which is unpleasantly from it it splits and makes that offer with the fish that makes the pitch with the navy.

38. Necessity is a teacher and guardian of nature.

The necessity is the theme and the inventor of nature, it is the brake and the rule of the earth. 19 (It is the acknowledgment of an external force and superior to the nature of which it conditions the way of being.

64. We do not lack ways or ways to compart and measure these miserable days, which we should still like not to inspire them and pass them in vain and without any praise and without leaving any memory in the minds of the immortals. Acce that this our miserable course did not go through in vain.
