Reaumur - Comments

From LoveToKnow 1911

The following sentence has gotten erroneously a place in the article about "Reaumur". In fact it is - as i guess - a footnote belonging to the previous article about "Reason". This is the note:

1 The Schoolmen's distinction of ratio cognoscendi (a reason for acknowledging a fact) and ratio essendi (a reason for the existence of this fact).

Sincerely yours

Hermann Geffcken, Celle (Germany)
