Suzzy and Maggie Roche, two-thirds of the folk trio the Roches, have a sensible, unflappable disposition.
In this context, for both Descartes and Desgabets, sensible qualities are "various dispositions" in objects.
These characters have a gentle and cultivated disposition and wear sensible costumes.
Kant explains, "there is no antecedent feeling the in subject that would be attuned to morality: that is impossible, since all feeling is sensible whereas the incentive of the moral disposition must be free from any sensible condition.
But Kant holds that it is impossible for "a rational being of the sensible world" to exhibit "complete conformity of dispositions with the moral law," which he calls "holiness," because we can never extirpate the propensity of our reason to give priority to the incentives of inclination over the incentive of duty, which propensity Kant calls radical evil (5:122, 6 37).
Just as sensible qualities are the immediate effects of local dispositions of matter acting upon the senses, sensible bodies are the immediate effects of assemblages of local dispositions of matter acting upon the senses.
It treats particular bodies as assemblages of local dispositions of matter, and it treats sensible bodies as our grasp of those assemblages.
Thus, in the same way that sensible qualities are nothing outside us but the local dispositions of matter, sensible objects are nothing outside us but assemblages of local dispositions of matter.
As Desgabets understood it, sensible qualities "… are nothing else in objects but the local dispositions of the small parts from which result the sensations that we call heat, sound, light, etc" (OPD 2: 17).
Hence, sensible bodies are beings of the mind which are merely caused by assemblages of local dispositions of matter.
