...Conduct of the Understanding praises mathematics as a way of reasoning, even as the model of reasoning. 'For, in all sorts of reasoning, every single argument...mind is brought to the source on which it bottoms ' (Works, HI, 222).

...because the habits of mathematicians are everywhere of use (p. 222).'° Although he recommends that 'in all sorts of reasoning, every single argument should be managed as a mathematical demonstration' (p. 222), Locke recognises that in probable reasoning a single argument can never be decisive. Nonetheless...
