Ethics (1677)
by Baruch Spinoza
By the word Idea, I understand the specific form (forma) of a thought, through the immediate perception of which I am conscious of that same thought.⏎ So whenever I express something in words while understanding what I am saying, this very fact makes it certain that there is in me the idea of that which is meant by those words. And so I do not apply the term 'ideas' simply to images depicted in the fantasy; indeed I do not here term these 'ideas' at all, insofar as they are depicted in the corporeal fantasy (i.e., in some part of the brain) but only insofar as they communicate their form to the mind itself when this is directed to ward that part of the brain.🏁
