This invalidates the argument, because this reason judges that whatever exists must be either within the world or outside it. If it is not accepted, the argument is likewise invalidated.

If it is said that this is not a judgment of corporeal reason or a dictate of sense perception and imagination—even though he has judged that a great entity above another must be a body with one side distinct from another—one may respond by saying: The judgment that whatever exists is either within the world or outside it, and that nothing can exist neither within the world nor outside it, has an even stronger claim not to be a judgment of corporeal reason or a dictate of sense perception and imagination. For the former judgment explicitly states that it is a body. If judging that something is a body is not a dictate of corporeal reason and sense perception, then a judgment that makes no explicit mention of body, but concerns existence in general, has an even stronger claim to that status. Hence, they classify such a judgment as belonging to the highest science and to divine science. As for the former judgment, it involves
