What is Property?

PART SECOND
255/323

I have read faithfully your favorite journals, your most esteemed authors.

I find everywhere only vain and puerile _entites_; nowhere do I discover an idea.
I will explain the meaning of this word _entite_,--new, without doubt, to most of you.
By _entite_ is generally understood a substance which the imagination grasps, but which is incognizable by the senses and the reason.

Thus the SOPORIFIC POWER of opium, of which Sganarelle speaks, and the PECCANT HUMORS of ancient medicine, are _entites_.

The _entite_ is the support of those who do not wish to confess their ignorance.

It is incomprehensible; or, as St.Paul says, the _argumentum non apparentium_.
