metaphysical contemplation
" For if snub nose and hollow nose would be the same, there would have also turned-up nose and the cave are the same. If this is not correct, because it is so not possible to speak of Stülpigen without the thing on which it is an affection per se (because the Stülpige is a hollowness at the nose), it can not either say 'stülpige nose' is, or is it the same thing twice told , namely 'Hollow nose nose' (for stülpige nose means "hollow nose nose). Therefore, it is absurd that such a what-is-it belongs-it-to-be. Should not apply, they would continue indefinitely, because at the stülpigen nose nose would be something else "(Aristotle in Book VII metaphysics)
