Lest an infinity of sensible qualities be generated, however, by an infinity of aggregations (if not of atomic kinds), Epicurus developed, from just this concept of infinity, the law of universal equilibrium of all the forces, or "isonomy".
Secondly, he made finite the number of forms of the atoms in order to limit the number of sensible qualities, since each form begets a distinctive quality, and he taught a mathematical as well as a physical atomism.
He projected an image of an overarching creator God as nirguna ("devoid of sensible qualities"), best worshipped through a regimen of self-discipline and by use of the "true name" alone.
This, of course, is a quite general phenomenon among sensible qualities.
According to theories on which sounds are individuals, sounds are not secondary or sensible qualities.
If so, then objective physicalism about at least some sensible qualities might succeed.
In this context, for both Descartes and Desgabets, sensible qualities are "various dispositions" in objects.
Lines, points, numbers, triangles these do not have sensible qualities whether stated universally or singularly.
Based on Descartes's conception of matter, and his consequent discovery of the true nature of sensible qualities, Desgabets concluded that our perception of sensible qualities and sensible objects does not constitute knowledge of the true state of exterior things.
In Desgabets's estimation, Descartes's truly great discovery was his identification of the true nature of sensible qualities (OPD 5: 164).
But my inference is based on the aspirin's superficial sensible qualities, which have nothing to do with headache relief.
