• Carneades

  these works - all of which are lost. Carneades was persuasive, but he was also elusive; and his pupils disagreed on how to interpret him: his successor Clitomachus, who wrote voluminously about his master, confessed that 'he could never understand what Carneades believed' (Cicero, Academics II 139 ); and Metrodorus claimed that 'everyone has misunderstood Carneades' (Philodemus, History of the Academy XXVI 8-10 ). Also like Arcesilaus - and Socrates - before him, Carneades argued ag...

  along the correct part of the road by mastering our initial swerves towards the kerb and towards the oncomingtraffic. Once we have learnt, by whatever means, the right amount of some kind of action – whether it is the rightlength of an after-dinner speech, or the right proportion of one's income to give to charity – then, Aristotle says,we have ‘the right prescription' (orthos logos) in our mind. Virtue is the state which enables us to act in accordancewith the right prescription.Virtue concerns...

  concerning Human Understanding (1689) by Pierre Coste and read Voltaire's books on Newton. He was the contemporary of such Enlightenment luminaries as Helvetius, Diderot, Buffon, La Mettrie and Holbach. Voltaire and Diderot both expressed the very highest regard for his writings. Condillac was on friendly terms with Rousseau, and was frequently to be seen at the salons in and around Paris where so much of the intellectual activity of the Enlightenment took place. He spent nine years (1758-67...

  standard way. As a result of realizing that a character in a work is dying unloved one feels sadness for and pitytowards that character. Or, believing that the dramatic potential of the last act was botched by the playwright,one feels disappointed by the play. Or one is delighted by the felicity of a turn in the melody. In the second case,one tends to respond with sadness to works called sad, or with happiness to works said to express happiness.Something in the work calls forth the reaction...

  reason for praising you, it is reason for praising anyone who does that action in those circumstances. Some thinkers(Stuart Hampshire ( 1954 ), for example) have argued that reasoning in criticism is impossible because of the impossibility of this sort of generality in that context. Thus, it is claimed, the fact that a painting has a patch ofcolour in a certain position may be the explanation for its admirable compositional features. But the existence ofthat patch in that location cannot...

  None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them. If...

• The Varieties of the Millennial Experience

  I.1 Varieties 2 Resurrection of the Dead ( al-Qiy āma ) and the Day of Judgment ( Yawm al-H i s āb) are at hand. 4 Eschatological thought tends towards totalism: the conclusion is final and decisive, a closed solution. The messiness of earthly existence must itself burn up in the process. This vision of a f inal and ultimate solution welcomes zero -sum thinking (dualistic), imagining a closed form of redemption: the good in heaven, the evil in hell; the body and all its disorder...

  If my present consciousness extends backwards for so long as this consciousness has a continuous history, thequestion remains to be answered: what makes this consciousness the individual consciousness it is? Locke hasdebarred himself from answering that this consciousness is the consciousness of this human being, since he hasmade his distinction between man and person.If, on the other hand, my present consciousness extends backwards only as far as I remember, then my past is nolonger my past...

Moreover, he claimed, a concept need not apply to things by virtue of some closed set of features captured by a definition, but rather by virtue of ‘family resemblances' among the things, a suggestion that has given rise in psychology to ‘prototype' theories of concepts. Most traditional approaches to possession conditions have been concerned with t...

  Can a trading expedition between two adjoining States, commence and terminate outside of each? And if the trading intercourse be between two States remote fromeach other, must it not commence in one, terminate in the other, and probably pass through a third?

This power, like all others vested in Congress, is complete in itself, maybe exercised to...
