Leviathan — Page 1
Concerning the Thoughts of man, I will consider them first Singly, and afterwards in Trayne, or dependance upon one another.
Con respecto a los Pensamientos del hombre, los consideraré primero de forma Individual, y después en Serie, o en dependencia unos de otros.
Singly, they are every one a Representation or Apparence, of some quality, or other Accident of a body without us; which is commonly called an Object.
De forma individual, cada uno de ellos es una Representación o Apariencia, de alguna cualidad, u otro Accidente de un cuerpo exterior a nosotros; lo que comúnmente se denomina un Objeto.
Which Object worketh on the Eyes, Eares, and other parts of mans body; and by diversity of working, produceth diversity of Apparences.
Dicho Objeto actúa sobre los Ojos, los Oídos y otras partes del cuerpo humano; y por la diversidad de su acción, produce diversidad de Apariencias.
The Originall of them all, is that which we call Sense; (For there is no conception in a mans mind, which hath not at first, totally, or by parts, been begotten upon the organs of Sense.)
El Origen de todos ellos es lo que llamamos Sentido; (Pues no hay concepción alguna en la mente humana que no haya sido engendrada en un principio, total o parcialmente, en los órganos de los Sentidos.)
The rest are derived from that originall.
El resto se deriva de ese origen.
To know the naturall cause of Sense, is not very necessary to the business now in hand; and I have els-where written of the same at large.
Conocer la causa natural del Sentido no es muy necesario para el asunto que nos ocupa ahora; y en otro lugar he escrito ampliamente sobre ello.
Nevertheless, to fill each part of my present method, I will briefly deliver the same in this place.
No obstante, para completar cada parte de mi método presente, lo expondré brevemente en este lugar.
The cause of Sense, is the Externall Body, or Object, which presseth the organ proper to each Sense, either immediatly, as in the Tast and Touch; or mediately, as in Seeing, Hearing, and Smelling:
La causa del Sentido es el Cuerpo Externo, u Objeto, que presiona el órgano propio de cada Sentido, ya sea de forma inmediata, como en el Gusto y el Tacto; o de forma mediata, como en la Vista, el Oído y el Olfato:
which pressure, by the mediation of Nerves, and other strings, and membranes of the body, continued inwards to the Brain, and Heart, causeth there a resistance, or counter-pressure, or endeavour of the heart, to deliver it self:
dicha presión, por mediación de los Nervios, y otros filamentos y membranas del cuerpo, continuada hacia el interior hasta el Cerebro y el Corazón, produce en ellos una resistencia, o contrapresión, o esfuerzo del corazón por liberarse:
which endeavour because Outward, seemeth to be some matter without.
cuyo esfuerzo, por ser hacia el Exterior, parece ser alguna materia externa.
