It is not that he cannot conceive or manipulate their divisions; astronomy, for instance, has been one of his strong points; but that they do not, for him, add to the significance nor therefore to the nature of the phenomenon. - [Previous: c8.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.foxstrangways-1914.c8.3) - [Next: c8.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.foxstrangways-1914.c8.5) - [Up: c8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.foxstrangways-1914.c8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.foxstrangways-1914.c8.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.foxstrangways-1914.c8.4) · Pramāṇa
