Subiektywizacja percepcji zmysłowej i dwa modele idealizmu w filozofii... adekwatność ta została logicznie powiązana z ideą materialno-ontycznej zależności treści kognitywnych od umysłu, to samo rozumowanie mogło zostać zastosowane wstecz, w sferze, z której pogląd ten został zaczerpniętyna płaszczyźnie poznania intelektualnego.…”

Newton’s Scholium on Time, Space, Place and Motion

As a result, the significance of the role taken by logic towards philosophical modernity is still commonly downplayed, while being crucial to its building.…”
