(R.), From my using the word mere Matter, he concludes that I imagine there is another form of Matter, which is not a mere, bare, pure, incogitative Matter. 1813 Busby Lucretius iii. Comment. xiv, If the seeds of heat, air, and vapour are as positively incogitative as those of the body. |
Hence inˌcogitaˈtivity (rare—1), the quality of being incogitative or without the faculty of thought.
| 1722 Wollaston Relig. Nat. ix. 191 Is the same in effect as to say, that God may superadd a faculty of thinking to incogitativity. |
