Herbert Spencer

A thing must either exist or not exist — must have a certain attribute or not have it: there is no third possibility. This is a postulate of all thought; and in so far as it is alleged of phenomenal existence, no one calls it in question.

Herbert Spencer, ”Mill versus Hamilton — The Test of Truth,” The Fortnightly Review (July 1865).
