Chapter XXVI.—Of The Expressions ‟I am Non-Apprehensive” And ‟I Apprehend Not”

[201] Both the expressions ‟I am non-apprehensive” and ‟I apprehend not” are indicative of a personal state of mind, in which the Sceptic, for the time being, avoids affirming or denying any non-evident matter of inquiry, as is obvious from what we have said above concerning the other expressions.
