...such a fact does not admit of absolute demonstration. A mathematical demonstration — such as that the three angles of a triangle are together equal to two right angles — does not admit the possibility of a doubt. But moral and metaphysical subjects do not admit of... | |

...these shall be less than the other two sides of the triangle, but shall contain a greater angle. . 5. The three angles of a triangle are together equal to two right angles ; and all the angles of any rectilineal figure, together with four right angles, are equal to twice... | |

...amount of reasoning could convince us of these facts. But none of our senses could satisfy us that the three angles of a triangle are together equal to two right angles. There are two modes of reasoning, so called, the distinction between which is clearly marked, and should... | |

...right angles. CHAPTER III. REASONING. 21. SUPPOSE that we wished to make another person believe that the three angles of a triangle are, together, equal to two right angles. One way of convincing him would be to take a triangular piece of card, or of paper, cut off the corners... | |

...constitution as the equality of the three angles of a triangle to two right angles" (§.200.). That the three angles of a triangle are together equal to two right angles is a truth to all intelligences, is a truth to God. That love is good, that cruelty is bad, is in like... | |

...inhabited, even this is not a primary conviction ; we believe it because of secondary testimony. Nay, that the three angles of a triangle are together equal to two right angles, is not a primitive judgment, for it needs other truths coming between to carry our conviction. But... | |

...considered generally, and without restriction to any individual magnitude. Thus, the proposition that the three angles of a triangle are together equal to two right angles, is an abstract truth, applying equally to all triangles whatsoever. Abstract Mathematics is opposed... | |
