Sheila Kennedy, a principal in Kennedy & Violich, imagines that in the not-so-distant future, designers will conceive a material's texture by determining its molecular makeup, rather than by just picking its color.
She argues that the Cartesian view that extension is the essence of body is mistaken; we must conceive of material objects as exhibiting a "force d'inertie" if we are to understand their physical interactions properly (Châtelet 1742: ch. 1, §2).
But since it is impossible to conceive of material particles or of species or immaterial qualities which can pass from one of these substances into the other, the view must be rejected" (GP iv, 498f).
He understood Leibniz's reasoning in favour of monads as follows: It is impossible to conceive two material atoms as both different from one another and as simple, i.e partless; yet possible to conceive two souls that are both different and partless (20 285).
Thus, what Desgabets seemed to have assumed was that the reason we so often err with regard to the true nature of these movements is that we judge precipitously, or too quickly, before the mind has had a chance to conceive of material substance as it is in itself, independent of any temporal or spatial ties.
But Audiard, by conceiving the material realistically, brings the character much closer to us: Tom's funk could be an extravagant version of the breach in anyone's life between a job he hates and the glory he craves.
If it is possible to conceive of the material world as not existing the same is true of God: we can imagine him "to be non-existent, or his attributes to be altered" (D, 9.7/190).
Many approaches in the tradition of Feigl (1967) and Smart (1963), called "identity theories", conceive mental and material states as essentially identical "central states", yet considered from different perspectives.
(2) We cannot abstract the primary qualities (e.g. shape) from secondary ones (e.g. color), and thus we cannot conceive of mechanist material bodies which are extended but not (in themselves) colored.[11] When, after some further struggles, Hylas finally capitulates to Philonous' view that all of existence is mind-dependent, he does so unhappily and with great reluctance.
These are conceived for materials design, along with applications to a quasi-2D Sr2RuO4 (for which we predict a time-reversal-broken triplet px+y+ipx−y) and a quasi-1D (TMTSF)2PF6 (a triplet f predicted).
