CHAPTER 22 Of Mixed Modes
1. Mixed Modes, what.
Having treated of SIMPLE MODES in the foregoing chapters, and given several instances of some of the most considerable of them, to show what they are,and how we come by them; we are now in the next place to consider those we call MIXED MODES;such are the complex ideas we mark by the names OBLIGATION, DRUNKENNESS, a LIE, &c.; which consisting of several combinations of simple ideas of DIFFERENT kinds, I have called mixed modes, to distinguish them from the more simple modes, which consist only of simple ideas of the SAME kind. These mixed modes, being also such combinations of simple ideas as are not looked upon to be characteristical marks of any real beings that have a steady existence,but scattered and independent ideas put together by the mind, are thereby distinguished from the complex ideas of substances.
