Ο πρώτος είναι να μη δέχομαι τίποτα ως αληθινό αν δεν γνωρίζω ότι είναι τεκμηριωμένο: να αποφεύγω, δηλαδή, προσεκτικά τη βιασύνη και τις προκαταλήψεις και να μην υιοθετώ ως δική μου κρίση τίποτα που να μην εμφανίζεται στο μυαλό μου με τρόπο τόσο σαφή και διακριτό ώστε να μην έχω κανέναν λόγο να το αμφισβητήσω.
