  But there is one other piece of evidence, bearing immediate reference to their close connextion with this memorable event in English History, which must carryconviction, even to a mind (if such a mind there be) remaining unconvinced by these presumptive proofs.

• Charles Dickens.

  The Old Curiosity Shop broke hearts across Britain and North America when it first appeared. Later readers, however, have found it excessively sentimental, especially the pathos surrounding the death of its child-heroine Little Nell. Dickens’s next two works proved less popular with the public. Barnaby Rudge, Dickens’s first historical novel, revolves around anti-Catholic riots that broke out in London in 1780. The events in Martin Chuzzlewit become a vehicle for the novel’s theme: selfishne...

  Otium sine litteris mors est et hominis vivi sepultura Le repos sans l'étude c'est la mort, c'est la mise au tombeau d'un vivant Cette phrase est empruntée aux Epistulae ad lucilium de Sénèque (82, 3) qui déclare qu'une existence loin des affaires et des activités publiques peut être synonyme de mort si cette existence ne se nourrit pas de lectures et de recherches intellectuelles ; l'expression fut reprise par Jean de Salisbury (Ep .• 143 [Pl 199, 130b] ; Policraticus, 1 pro).

  Du/ce et decorum est pro patria mori Il est doux, il est beau de mourir pour sa patrie Ce vers d'Horace (Carm., 3. 2, 13) est devenu le symbole d'un topos récurrent de la littérature patriotique, tous lieux et toutes époques confondus.

  Usque adeone mori miserum est? Jusqu'à quel point est-il triste de mourir ?

• En quoi L’École des Femmes de Molière illustre bien la citation latine : castigat ridendo mores

  • Pour Molière, Arnolphe était conçu comme un bouffon, un vieux barbon dont on se moque, un vieux ridicule => Lorsqu’il le jouait, certains témoignages précisent que Molière roulait de manière extrêmement prononcée ses yeux et que cela faisait beaucoup rire le public. Arnolphe, personnage de comédie a été crée comme un personnage comique. • Personne n’aime Arnolphe : ses domestiques le respectent à peine, Agnès ne l’aime pas. Il a peu d’amis… => Personnage rejeté (ces défauts lui portent préjudi...

  Amici mores noveris, non oderis Comprends le comportement de ton ami, et ne le hais point Ce proverbe rapporté par Porphyrion dans son commentaire aux Satires d'Horace (1, 3, 32) et dans les sentences de Publilius Syrus (A 56), est présenté comme un proverbe romain par Fronton (20, 18-20 van den Hout). Malgré ce dernier témoignage, il faut toutefois préciser qu'il existe bien un précédent grec : les Poèmes élégiaques attribués à Théognis citent une foi 1111.1le similaire sur l'importance de poss...

• Brown, Thomas

  Hume's view of causation. He defends Hume's account of causation as nothing but invariable succession, mounting a powerful attack on the notion of power, particularly that of unexercised power, as wielded by Reid. However, he also uses tools furnished by Reid: the world consists of substances; general terms are essentially abbreviations of lists of substances, suiting our own practical purposes, and descriptions are abstractions from states of those substances; we have by virtue of our natur...

  intellectuals themselves, to threaten societal well-being. Harmonious interaction was finally more important to these thinkers than abstract issues of who had arrived at the 'truth' . Perhaps the most obvious illustration of the way the Chinese handled their theoretical conflicts is to be found in mutual accommodation of the three emergent traditions of Chinese culture, Confucianism, Daoism and Buddhism. Beginning in the Han dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), the diverse themes inherited from the comp...

  to him, the eternal Son of God become man is at once human priest and victim, who perfects and replaces the OldTestament institutions of animal sacrifice. The author takes seriously the (atoning) purpose of those replacedinstitutions, and, while expounding the moral inadequacy of animal sacrifice (a view anticipated in the OldTestament prophets), theologizes the doctrine by centring atonement on the representative human achievement ofthe saviour. The effect of this metaphorical...

  Ockham, writing around 1317, seems totally unaware of his work. 2 Works In order to understand and assess Abelard as a philosopher, it is important to consider not only his works on logicbut also his writings on theology. At risk of considerable over-simplification, his works may be divided into thosecomposed before his stay in the community near Quincy (1122-7) and those written during and after that stay. AsC.J. Mews (1985) has pointed out, this break seems to correspond with certain revisions...
