RULE V
Method consists entirely in the order and disposition of te objects
towards which our mental vision must be directed if we would find out
any truth. We shall comply with it exactly if we reduce involved and
obscure propositions step by step to those that are simpler, and then
starting with the intutive apprehension of all those that are absolut-
ely simple, attempt to ascend to the knowledge of all others by preci-
sely similar steps.
In this alone lies the sum of all human endeavour, and he who would
approach the investigation of truth must hold to this rule as closely
as he who enters the labyrinth must follow the thread which guided Th-
eseus. But many people either do not reflect on the precept at all, or
ignore it altogether, or presume not to need it. Consequently they of-
ten investigate the most difficult questions with so little regard to
order, that, to my mind, they act like a man who should attempt to le-
ap with one bound from the base to the summit of a house, either maki-
ng no account of the ladders provided for his ascent or not noticing
them. It is thus that all Astrologers behave, who, though in ignorance
of the nature of the heavens, and even without having made proper obs-
ervation of the movements of the heavenly bodies, expect to be able to
indicate their effects. This is also what many do who study Mechanics
apart from Physics, and rashly set about devising new instruments for
producing motion.
Along with them go also those Philosophers who, neglecting experien-
ce, imagine that truth will spring from their brain like Pallas from
the head of Zeus.
Now it is obvious that all such people violate the present rule. But
since the order here required is often so obscure and intricate that
not everyone can make it out, they can sarcely avoid error unless they
diligently observe what is laid down in the following proposition.
