If we admit the existence of some one thing, whatever it may be, we must also admit that there is something which exists necessarily. It is this principle, which makes us reason from causes and effects; and it is the same principle, which convinces us of the continued existence of external objects, when absent from the senses. [SECT. 6.] We may begin with observing, that the difficulty in the present case is not concerning the matter of fact, or whether the mind forms such a conclusion concerning the continued existence of its perceptions, but only concerning the manner in which the conclusion is formed, and principles from which it is derived. Consequently, the determination of my existence in time is possible only through the existence of real things external to me.
