"Sensible things cannot exist otherwise than in a mind or spirit." (P 169b) |
Not all sensible things depend on me. |
Therefore, some sensible things exist but not in my mind. |
Therefore, there is some other mind (in which these sensible things exist). |
The sensible world exists. |
The sensible world does not exist (completely) in my mind. |
Therefore, there is a mind, other than mine, an "infinite," "omnipresent" mind (or spirit), in which the sensible world exists. (P 169b) |
And this we call "God." |
