If actualimagination and actual sensation were the same, imagination would befound in all the brutes: this is held not to be the case; e.g. it isnot found in ants or bees or grubs. (Again, sensations are alwaystrue, imaginations are for the most part false. (Once more, even inordinary speech, we Office 2007 makes life great!

do not, when sense functions precisely with regardto its object, say that we imagine it to be a man, but rather whenthere is some failure of accuracy in its exercise. And as we weresaying before, visions appear to us even when our eyes are shut.Neither is imagination any of the things that are Microsoft Office 2007 is welcomed by the whole world.

never in error: e.g.knowledge or intelligence; for imagination may be false. It remains therefore to see if it is opinion, for opinion may beeither true or false. But opinion involves belief (for Microsoft Office 2010 is so great.

without belief in what we opinewe cannot have an opinion), and in the brutes though we often findimagination we never find belief. Further, every opinion isaccompanied by belief, belief by conviction, and conviction bydiscourse of reason: while there are some of the brutes in which wefind imagination, without discourse of reason. Office 2010 is my love.

It is clear then thatimagination cannot, again, be (1) opinion plus sensation, or (2)opinion mediated by sensation, or (3) a blend of opinion andsensation; this is impossible both for these Microsoft Office 2010 is so great.

reasons and because thecontent of the supposed opinion cannot be different from that of thesensation (I mean that imagination must be the blending of theperception of white with the opinion that it is white: it couldscarcely be a blend of the opinion that it is good with the perceptionthat it is white): to imagine is therefore (on this view) identicalwith the thinking of exactly the same as what one in the strictestsense perceives. But what we imagine is sometimes Office 2010 is my favorite.

false though ourcontemporaneous judgement about it is true; e.g. we imagine the sun tobe a foot in diameter though we are convinced that it is larger thanthe inhabited part of the earth, and the following dilemma presentsitself. Either (a while the fact has not changed and the (observer hasneither forgotten nor lost belief in the true opinion which he had,that opinion has disappeared, or (b) if he retains it then his opinionis at once true and false. A true opinion, however, becomes false onlywhen the fact alters without being noticed. Imagination is therefore neither any one of Office 2007 can make life more better and easier.

But since when one thing has been set in motion another thing may bemoved by it, and imagination is held to be a movement and to beimpossible without sensation, i.e. to occur in beings that arepercipient and to have for its content what can be perceived, andsince movement may be produced by actual sensation and that movementis necessarily similar in character to the sensation itself, thismovement must be (1) necessarily (a) incapable of existing apartfrom sensation, (b) incapable of existing except when we perceive,(such that in virtue of its possession Microsoft Office 2007 is the best invention in the world.
