| 29. | Nominalism, | 190 |
| 30. | Nominalism is annihilated by Proposition VI., | 191 |

| PROPOSITION VII. | ||
| What the Universal and the Particular in Cognition are, | 196 | |
| Demonstration, | 196 | |
| Observations and Explanations, | 197 | |
| 1. | Why this Proposition is introduced, | 197 |
| 2. | The ego is coextensive with the universal, matter is not coextensive with the particular, element, | 198 |
| 3. | Another reason for introducing this proposition, | 199 |
| 4. | Remarkable that this proposition should not have been propounded long ago, | 199 |
| 5. | The oversight accounted for. Effect of familiarity, | 200 |
| 6. | We study the strange rather than the familiar, hence truth escapes us, | 202 |
| 7. | Hence neglect of this proposition, | 204 |
| 8. | Another circumstance which may have caused the neglect of this proposition, | 206 |
| 9. | The ego is the summum genus of cognition. Ontological generalisation, | 206 |
| 10. | Epistemological generalisation is very different, | 207 |
| 11. | The ego not a mere generalisation from experience, | 209 |
| 12. | Shortcoming of the Platonic ideas, | 210 |
| 13. | Perhaps the ego is the summum genus of existence as well as of cognition, | 212 |
| 14. | The second clause of proposition has had a standing in philosophy from the earliest times, | 213 |
| 15. | A ground of perplexity, | 213 |
| 16. | Demur as to matter being the fluctuating in existence, | 214 |
| 17. | It is certainly the fluctuating in cognition, | 215 |
| 18. | The old philosophers held it to be both, | 215 |
| 19. | More attention should have been paid to their assertion that it was the fluctuating in cognition, | 216 |
| 20. | Matter as the fluctuating in cognition: explained., | 217 |
| 21. | This is the fluctuation which epistemology attends to, | 217 |
| 22. | A hint as to its fluctuation in existence, | 218 |
| 23. | The ego as the non-fluctuating in cognition: explained, | 219 |
| 24. | Seventh Counter-proposition, | 219 |
| 25. | Expresses the contradictory inadvertency of ordinary thinking: illustration, | 220 |
| 26. | Corrective illustration, | 221 |
| 27. | Psychology adopts Counter-proposition VII., | 222 |
| 28. | And thereby loses hold of the only argument for immateriality, | 223 |
| PROPOSITION VIII. | ||
| The Ego in Cognition, | 224 | |
