Example Sentences
- "Whoever shall peruse the phytognomy of Porta and strictly observe how vegetable realities are forced into animal representations, may perceive the semblance is but postulatory."
- "How intensely postulatory these axioms are, is best seen when we consider what is too often neglected, viz. the limits of their use. The unchanging is the uncaused; no reason is required for that which is ‘self-evident.’ But, psychologically, everything is self-evident which provokes no question, and what alone would be absolutely self-evident would be the absolutely satisfactory. Thus the only complete logical truth would be one which left no room for further questions by reason of its absolute psychological satisfactoriness."
- "postulatory prayers"
- "The documents attested more than 400 miracles or extraordinary graces, and thirty postulatory letters from archbishops and bishops in France besought the beatification from the Holy See."
