It is indeed evident, that when we sympathize with the passions and sentiments of others, these movements appear at first in our mind as mere ideas, and are conceived to belong to another person, as we conceive any other matter of fact.

 Until that time, we cannot learn philosophy--it does not exist; if it does, where is it, who possesses it, and how shall we know it? 
4. Time is not a discursive, or as it is called, general conception, but a pure form of the sensuous intuition.
 At the same time, we may attribute to this being infinite perfection--a perfection which necessarily transcends that which our knowledge of the order and design in the world authorize us to predicate of it. This sentiment, then, as it is entirely unreasonable, must proceed from some other faculty than the understanding. Couple that with the flexibility we have to change our schedules and set our hours and then those of us who are parents are now available when our children need us, plus we no longer have the need for the foster homes we call day cares, where the care-givers get to see all the firsts your child performs. We find them employing the expressions wisdom and care of nature, and divine wisdom, as synonymous--nay, in purely speculative discussions, preferring the former, because it does not carry the appearance of greater pretensions than such as we are entitled to make, and at the same time directs reason to its proper field of action--nature and her phenomena. It is indeed evident, that as the vulgar suppose their perceptions to be their only objects, and at the same time believe the continued existence of matter, we must account for the origin of the belief upon that supposition. Sentiments must touch the heart, to make them controul our passions: But they need not extend beyond the imagination, to make them influence our taste.
