52945Why should a logical method be unsuitable for every sort of subject except those matters of logic that are beyond the mere elements?]
52945Why then have more classes than these four?
52945Would logicians themselves sanction such a classification in a natural science?
38141And, if a system, does it, in particular, present such phases( such relations, categories) as Hegel shows forth? 38141 Anyway,"Dewey says,"before we either abuse or recommend genetic method we ought to have some answers to these questions: Just what is it?
38141How then does, say, a case of perception with effort differ from a case of''easy''or effortless perception? 38141 What do we mean by individuality?
38141What is the relation of knowledge, of theory, to that Ought which seems to be the very essence of moral conduct? 38141 [ 106] How do these specific, actual activities come to be called capacities?
38141[ 188] Why is it necessary to make such a distinction at all? 38141 [ 22] This statement raises the more specific question, what is meaning?
38141And to what extent would physiology illuminate the problem of the relation of the generic ideas to their appropriate objects?

38141But what is the correct attitude toward the self?
38141But where does psychology stand in this classification?
38141Can it be done?
38141Does the self merely trace out the meaning already present in reality, or is it a factor in the creation of meaning?
38141His question is not, What is the best means of accomplishing a given purpose, but, What end is worth attaining?
38141How apply them correctly to the matter in hand?

38141That it comes''after something and for the sake of something,''namely,''direct''experience?
38141The analysis of action is from the first an analysis of what is to be done; how, then, should it come out excepting with a''this should be done''?

6560''Is Socrates a man?''
6560''Is it possible for a man who is not writing to write?''
6560''Well, is not an animal a body?''
6560''Why?''
6560''Yes,''''And are you an animal?''
6560( 4) Is there balm in Gilead?
6560( 5) Does not his feebleness of character indicate either a bad training or a natural imbecility?
6560( 5)''Is stone a body?''
6560A cup, for instance, with precisely the same form, may be composed of very different matter- gold, silver, pewter, horn or what not?
6560A full answer to the question''What is a Universal?''
6560All not- B is not- A, and followed by Subalternation?
6560And again--''Can you carry this, that, and the other?''
6560And whether, therefore, the third head of indefinite propositions were not as superfluous as the so- called''common gender''of nouns in grammar?
6560And why not from all?
6560And why?
6560Are abstract terms then, it may be asked, singular or common?
6560Are there then any terms which possess no intension?
6560Are you a thief and a liar too?''
6560Are_ you_ a thief and a liar too?''
6560But logicians anxious for simplification asked, whether a predicate in any given case must not either apply to the whole of the subject or not?
6560But why, it maybe asked, should not the moods of the first figure equally well be regarded as indirect moods of the fourth?
6560But, if you were to ask the same person''Do you mean that cows are all the ruminants that there are, or only some of them?''
6560Can the laws of thought be violated in like manner with the laws of the land?
6560Do these two principles imply one another?
6560Fairchild, is this true?
6560For how could there be action without an agent?
6560From how many of these propositions can the original one be derived?
6560Granting the truth of the following propositions, what other propositions can be inferred by opposition to be true or false?
6560Have you left off beating your mother yet?''
6560Here is the sort of example that Aristotle gives--''Is Plato different from Socrates?''
6560If the major term of a syllogism be the predicate of the major premiss, what do we know about the minor premiss?
6560If the middle term be twice distributed, what mood and figure are possible?
6560In appearance they can be, and manifestly often are violated- for how else could error be possible?
6560In what figures is AEE valid?
6560Is the suppressed premiss in any case disputable on material grounds?
6560Is the term converse here used in its logical meaning?
6560Now in which of these two senses are we using the term''laws of thought''?
6560Or again, that man means a rational, and does not mean a speaking, a religious, or an aesthetic animal, or a biped with two eyes, a nose, and a mouth?
6560Or are they inviolable like the laws of nature?
6560Roughly it may be said that the Realists sought for the answer to the question''What is a Universal?''
6560Since every term must be either abstract or concrete, it may be asked-- Are attributives abstract or concrete?
6560Suppose for a moment that this law did not hold-- then what would become of all our reasoning?
6560The fact is-- so subtle are the ambiguities of language-- that even such a question as''Is a thing white or not- white?''
6560The man was exhibiting a blue horse; and the distinguished stranger asked him--''With what did you paint your horse?''
6560To ask this, is to ask-- Are there any terms which have absolutely no meaning?
6560To which of the heads of predicables would you refer the following statements?
6560Under which of the five heads would the predicates in the following propositions fall?
6560What is the only kind of conclusion that can be drawn in all the figures?
6560What kind of influence have we here?
6560What moods are common to all the figures?
6560What moods are peculiar to the first, second, and third figures respectively?
6560When the middle term is distributed in both premisses, what must be the quantity of the conclusion?
6560When, for instance, a thing is half white and half black, are we to say that it is white or black?
6560When, for instance, we say''If the sky falls, we shall catch larks,''what is it that we really mean to assert?
6560Where would be the use of establishing conclusions about things, if they were liable to evade us by a Protean change of identity?
6560Wherein then does the difference lie?
6560Wherein then lies the difference?
6560Why are the premisses of Fesapo and Fresison not transposed in reduction like those of the other moods of the fourth figure?
6560Why can there be no subaltern moods in the third figure?
6560Why do the premisses EA yield a universal conclusion in the first two figures and only a particular one in the last two?
6560Why is it sufficient to distribute the middle term once only?
4763And is it Nature, or Art, that is to have the credit of this happy change?
4763But why is this?
4763Do you mean to tell us that all these Logicians are wrong?
4763So you like a doll better than a cousin? 4763 The Man in the Wilderness asked of me''How many strawberries grow in the sea?''"
4763Very glad to hear it: and how do you make it out to be so?
4763Well, some geraniums are red, are n''t they?
4763Well, who expects to be comfortable, out shopping?
4763What are you talking about geraniums for? 4763 Why, do n''t you see that it''s absurd to call him a miserly merchant?
4763Why, how do you make THAT out? 4763 Why, is n''t he very rich?"
4763( Sounds nice, does n''t it?)
4763( Would n''t THAT be a charming Universe to live in?)
4763( You think I invented that name, now do n''t you?
4763----- Suppose we find it marked like this:--||| 1| What would that tell us?
47635?
47635?
47636?
47636?
47637?
47638?
4763And how are they to work, if they do n''t know anything?
4763And now what am I driving at, in all this long rigmarole?
4763And what name may we give to such a Conclusion?
4763And what then?
4763And what then?"
4763Brown?"
4763But is there any great harm in THAT, so long as you get plenty of amusement?
4763But what''s the good of proving anything to YOU, I should like to know?"
4763But, if they put it the other way, and ask"Can an Attribute exist without any Thing for it to belong to?
4763Can it mean BOTH?"
4763How may we detect a''Fallacious Conclusion''?
4763How may we detect''Fallacious Premisses''?
4763How shall I ever repay such kindness?
4763If you mean that cousins are n''t dolls, who ever said they were?"
4763In marking a pair of Premisses on the larger Diagram, why is it best to mark NEGATIVE Propositions before AFFIRMATIVE ones?
4763In what cases may this be done?
4763In what sense do we use the word''Universe''in this Game?
4763Is it Particular or Universal?
4763It is true we do not know whether its inner portion is empty or occupied: but what does THAT matter?
4763Now what would you make of such a Proposition as"The Cake you have given me is nice"?
4763People have asked the question"Can a Thing exist without any Attributes belonging to it?"
4763Taking the upper half by itself, so that our Subject is"new Cakes", how are we to represent"no new Cakes are wholesome"?
4763The smaller Diagram is now pretty liberally marked:---------| 0| 1||---|---|| 1||------- And now what Conclusion can we read off from this?
4763We must take, as our''Universe'', some class of things which will include Dragons and Scotchmen: shall we say''Animals''?
4763What are the two kinds of''Fallacies''?
4763What are we to make of this, with regard to x and y?
4763What are''Individual''Propositions?
4763What are''Particular''and''Universal''Propositions?
4763What does this mean?
4763What does"some"mean in Logic?
4763What is a''Double''Proposition?
4763What is an''Attribute''?
4763What kinds of Propositions imply, in this Game, the EXISTENCE of their Subjects?
4763What two partial Propositions make up, when taken together,"all x are y"?
4763What would this tell us, with regard to the class of"new Cakes"?
4763What would you make of this, I wonder?
4763What, then, are you to do?
4763When does this happen?
4763When is a class of Things said to be''exhaustively''divided?
4763When is it NOT good sense?
4763When is it good sense to put"is"or"are"between two names?
4763When it is NOT good sense, what is the simplest agreement to make, in order to make good sense?
4763Who can tell?
4763Who should know better?"
4763Why is it of no consequence to us, as Logicians, whether the Premisses are true or false?
4763Would it not tell us that there are SOME of them in the x y- compartment?
4763You never saw"beautiful"floating about in the air, or littered about on the floor, without any Thing to BE beautiful, now did you?
4763You will take its four compartments, one by one, and ask, for each in turn,"What mark can I place HERE?
36801''* But whence is to come''this drop of sound logic?''
36801''Do you want any blood shed for you?''
36801''Does he shed anything for you that you_ do_ want?
36801''Has the reader ever seen Mr. Macready in the character of Macbeth?
36801''Look where we will, do we not find ignorance powerful for every kind of wrong and evil?
36801--and lie for the right?
36801And did you not hear him say that he could have shed his blood for me?
36801And why should we be delighted with Mr. Macready''s delineation, and disgusted with the ranter?
36801Are these the dispensations of Providence, or the dispensations of folly and crime?
36801Ay-- this state- policy?
36801Bishop Berkeley may demonstrate that we are not sure of matter''s existence-- but are we more sure of any thing else?
36801But by what experience did Aristotle discover the centre of the universe, so as to become aware that heavy bodies_ naturally_ tend there?
36801But how would it have been with a cloddish unimaginative fellow, whom nature never intended should understand Shakspere?
36801But if he should still remain in doubt, where is the harm?
36801But what comprehensive reasons are these?
36801But when experience affords no model on which to shape the new conception, how is it possible for us to form it?
36801But why overlooks he pure mathematics-- a much higher science than arithmetic?
36801Can such a proposition have facts for its support?
36801Does he even shed legs of mutton for you in any decent proportion to potatoes and garden stuff?''
36801Does he shed employment for you, instruction for you pocket money for you?
36801How did he ascertain the limits of that which has no limits?
36801How far may not this Tertsky have proceeded-- What may not he himself too have permitted Himself to do, to snare the enemy, The laws of war excusing?
36801How is this proved to be the most formidable enemy of tyranny?
36801How, for example, can we imagine an end to space or time?
36801I have frequently put the question-- What is consciousness?
36801If men are silent concerning objects and principles, it is said they have none, and it is impatiently asked''where is their bond of union?''
36801If reason will not serve us well, will anything serve us better?
36801Is it; otherwise with the Church?
36801Need it be added that this knowledge is only to be had by patient observation?
36801On what facts rest the measurement of the radii from our earth to the boundless circumference of space?
36801On what grounds are they considered to be true by one who declines investigation?
36801Said generous Rob,''What need of Books?
36801Shall he stay on shore or put out to sea?
36801Shall the young man enter trade or a profession without being vitiated?
36801Then how many boys ought our''philosopher''to have questioned before making his vast inference?
36801This is true, but is it true that arithmetic is on_ this account_ to be imitated?
36801Thus I found that huge reports, inflated as balloons, shrunk like them when pricked by the pin of a question--''Will you answer for it?''
36801Thus, on any assertion being made, ask-- Why is the assertion true?
36801To all who told me anything, if I attached importance to it, I made it a rule to ask--''May I mention it to the party with your name?''
36801To all written communications answer--''Please add your name and address-- and may I publish them if occasion requires?''
36801Tyranny, says Cobbett, has no enemy so formidable as the pen, Why?
36801Up springs at every step, to claim a tear, Some little friendship formed and cherished here?
36801Upon asking the terms of apartments, I was met, in all cases, by several preliminary questions, as for whom were they?
36801Was it classical in the principal of St. Alban''s College to abandon Euclid and cleave unto Cocker or Walkingame?
36801What facts support the assertion that Afflictions are dispensations of Providence?''
36801What he would do?
36801What investigation would it require to shew that they were valid?
36801What should be the decision in this case?
36801What was this, if not imagination?
36801Where now?
36801Where should a man''s reputation be safe from suspicion if not in the hands of his friend?
36801Who is not aware of the failures of calculation when applied to the general business of life-- to statistics, moral and political?
36801Why better?
36801Why should I throw away so much time and painful attention upon a thing of so little real use?
36801Why should not their discourse be expressed in brief, clear sentences?
36801Why should they, like a certain learned politician on a public occasion, propose, as a sentiment,''The three R''s, Reading,''Riting, and''Rithmetic?
36801or rather, why is it not to be considered a good?
36801what number of persons?
36801what station, habits, and probable stay?
40794( 1) Do ideas present themselves except in situations which are doubtful and inquired into?
40794( 3) Do they have any part to play in the conduct of inquiry?
40794( 5) And, finally, does validity have anything to do with truth?
40794And how can it discriminate unless by telling by what road they got into our experience and what they do after they get there?
40794And if the worlds are all private, pray who judges their likeness or unlikeness?
40794And is judgment properly more than tentative save as it terminates in a known fact, i.e., a fact present without the intermediary of reflection?
40794And that means what force shall the thing as means be given?
40794And, if the latter, does the object, God as defined, or the notion, or the belief( the acceptance of the notion) effect these consequent values?
40794And, once more, unless there is such a transition, is reasoning possible?
40794Are they there?
40794But how can a situation which is incomplete in fact be completely known until it_ is_ complete?
40794But if the former, why should there be an idea at all, and why should it have to be tested by the fact?
40794But if thought just accepts its material, how can there be any distinctive aim or activity of thought at all?
40794But if we are concerned with a matter of serious analysis, one is bound to ask, Whence come these adjectives?
40794But is smelling a case of knowledge?
40794But they part company when a fundamental question is raised: Is all organized meaning the work of thought?
40794But when thinking becomes research, when the doubt- inquiry function comes to its own, the problem is just: What is the fact?
40794Can a satisfaction dependent on an assumption that an idea is already true be relevant to testing the truth of an idea?
40794Can we"know that objects of sense, or very similar objects, exist at times when we are not perceiving them?
40794Do they exist except when judgment is in suspense?
40794Do they exist side by side with the facts when the facts are themselves known?
40794Do they not all agree in setting up something fixed outside inquiry, supplying both its material and its limit?
40794Do they really indicate fire?
40794Do they serve to direct observation, colligate data, and guide experimentation, or are they otiose?
40794Do they, therefore, already subsist in some realm of subsistence?
40794Does this coequal presence guarantee an objectivity?
40794Does this phase of the moon really mean rain, or does it just happen that the rain- storm comes when the moon has reached this phase?
40794Except on the basis stated, what is the transition from the function of meaning to_ a_ meaning as an entity in reasoning?
40794For example, my primary( and ultimate) judgment has to do, say, with buying a suit of clothes: whether to buy and, if so, what?
40794Has it gained in validity in ceasing to be an independent myth, in becoming an element in systematized myth?
40794Has not the lesson, however, been so well learned that we can drop reference to experience?
40794How about that truth upon which we fall back as guaranteeing the credibility of other statements-- how about our major premise?
40794How about their respective adaptability to the chief wearing use I have in mind?
40794How can a thing be eaten unless it is, in and of itself, a food?
40794How can such a standard be known?
40794How can the former in any sense give a check or test of the value of the latter?
40794How can this difference be explained?
40794How can thought compare meanings with existences?
40794How do their patterns compare?
40794How do we know the same is not the case with the ideas which are the product of our most deliberate and extended scientific inquiry?
40794How does it know which to eliminate as irrelevant and which to confirm as grounded?
40794How does the non- pragmatic view consider that verification takes place?
40794How does thought know which of the combinations are merely coincident and which are merely coherent?
40794How far is it possible and legitimate to extend or generalize the results reached to apply to all propositions of facts?
40794How is it, moreover, that even the act of being aware is describable as"momentary"?
40794How shall it secure this?
40794How shall we describe it?
40794How then can its existence, even if its perception be but momentary, raise a question of"other times"at all?
40794How then can value be given, as efficiency is given, until the end is chosen?
40794How, after all, does even the ideally perfect valid thought apply or refer to reality?
40794How, the implication runs, could reflection become generalized save by elimination of details as irrelevant?
40794If the goodness of consequences arises from the context of the idea in belief rather than from the idea itself, does it have any verifying force?
40794If there are, are they like those characters which books on logic talk about?
40794In the end the one problem holds: How do the specifications of thought as such hold good of reality as such?
40794Is a difference more than merely one of formulation?
40794Is it an absolute which transcends and absorbs the difference?
40794Is it an idea?
40794Is not the distinction mere hair- splitting unless it is a way of smuggling in a quasi- idealistic dependence upon thought?
40794Is or is not a personal factor found in truth evaluations?
40794Is the agreement ultimately a matter of self- consistency of ideas?
40794Is the photograph, then, to be conceived as a psychical somewhat?
40794Is the way out now so simple?
40794Is the_ object_ immediate or is it the object of an immediate noting?
40794Is this to be taken in a static or in a dynamic way?
40794It reads:"What difference would it practically make to anyone if this notion rather than that notion were true?
40794It was hard up against its own dilemma: How can a man inquire?
40794Just how does such agreement differ from success?
40794More generally, what is the position of analytic realism about the future?
40794Not what is the test of thought at large, but what validates and confirms_ this_ thought?
40794Now is this meaning intended to_ replace_ the meaning of a"seeing force which runs things"?
40794Now where does the argument stand?
40794Or does it mean that, irrespective of the existence of any such object, a belief in it has that value?
40794Or does it merely superadd a value to a meaning already fixed?
40794Or is it intended to superadd a pragmatic value and validation to that concept of a seeing force?
40794Or( if the superstition persists as to smell) is gnawing or poking a case of knowledge?
40794Or, in another mode of statement:"Can the existence of anything other than our own[63] hard data be inferred from the existence of those data?"
40794Pray what is this room and what defines the position( standpoint and perspective) of the two men and the standpoint"intermediate"between them?
40794Shall I take it as means to present enjoyment, or as a( negative) condition of future health?
40794Still the query haunts us: Is this so in truth?
40794Supposing the individual stands still and attempts to compare his idea with the reality, with what reality is he to compare it?
40794That is to say: Does it express the fact that a given content or meaning is_ de facto_ presented to the consciousness of all alike?
40794The more specific question is: How does the particular functional situation termed the reflective behave?
40794The question is worth asking: Is not the marked aversion on the part of some philosophers to any reference to psychology a Freudian symptom?
40794The question which I raised in the last paragraph may then be restated in this fashion: Are there such features?
40794The significance of these may be doubted: Do they_ mean_ real change in the sun or in the earth?
40794Then what has become of the postulate that truth is agreement of idea with existence beyond idea?
40794Then, once more, what is the test of any specific judgment?
40794Truth means, as a matter of course, agreement, correspondence, of idea and fact( p. 198), but what do agreement, correspondence, mean?
40794Under these conditions we get such questions as the following: What is the relation of rational thought to crude or unreflective experience?
40794Unless a meaning is an inferred object, detached and fixed as a term capable of independent development, what sort of a ghostly Being is it?
40794Unless there is some such conception as this, what conception of agreement is possible except the experimental or practical one?
40794We have them; they exist; now what do they mean?
40794What about their durability?
40794What are the prices of given suits?
40794What are their styles in respect to current fashion?
40794What are these grounds?
40794What has become of the correspondence of fact and thought?
40794What is the barrier which prevents reason from complete penetration into the world of truth?
40794What is the bearing of this account upon the"empirical datum"?
40794What is the experience in which the survey of both idea and existence is made and their agreement recognized?
40794What is the reason for using the term at all in philosophy?
40794What is the relation of thought to reality?
40794What is the validity of the various forms of thinking which find expression in the various types of judgment and in the various forms of inference?
40794What is the value of the pleasure of eating the lobster as compared with the pains of indigestion?
40794What shall we say of the validity of such processes?
40794What we have to reckon with is not the problem of, How can I think_ überhaupt_?
40794What will I have the situation_ become_ as between alternatives?
40794What_ is_ a thing when it is not yet discovered and yet is tentatively entertained and tested?
40794Whence does it derive its guaranty?
40794Which of the three doctrines is to be regarded as the legitimate exponent of the procedure of thought manifested in modern science?
40794Who are the"we,"and what does"own"mean, and how is ownership established?
40794Why is there a task of transformation?
40794Why so uneven, so partial, in your attitude toward ubiquitous relations?
40794Why, it will be asked, does a man buy a suit of clothes unless that is a value, or at least a proximate means to a further value?
40794but, How shall I think right_ here and now_?
39964And where were the others?
39964Has the plant a soul? 39964 When a woman is strong, is n''t she strong after the same conception and the same strength?
39964And do you not interchange the portrait for the person itself, without difficulty and misunderstanding?
39964And how can any single brain assume to acquire all knowledge, to know everything?
39964And how is a fact proven?
39964And on the other hand, does not the promotion of our material interests require a penetration on our part of the wonders of creation?
39964Are not these the concrete content of our material interests?
39964Are there any stones that do not belong to the category of stones, or any kind of wood which is iron?
39964Are they not simply substitutes?
39964At best, will you not merely repeat what has long since been accomplished?
39964Before, at, or after birth?
39964But do not beasts, worms, and sensitive plants have that also?
39964But how do I know what I state in such an offhand manner?
39964But how is life infused into them?
39964But how is that to be found?
39964But how to explain that wonderful_ a priori_ knowledge which exceeds all experience?
39964But is n''t it a contradiction that a special science wants to be general world wisdom?
39964But is there anything which is absolutely good?
39964But look here, has it not always been so?
39964But the study of the anatomy of the hand can no more solve the question: What is writing?
39964But was it founded on fact?
39964But what about the question of the beginning and end of the world, or the question of the existence of God?
39964But what else does the term material interests mean but the abstract expression of our existence, welfare, and development?
39964But what good will it do a painter to have his special attention called to this fact?
39964But what is there of unity that science teaches about them?
39964But what thing is there that has any effects"in itself?"
39964But where shall we draw the line in this comparison of images?
39964But who claims that there are not many straight lines which are crooked at one end, which run straight on for a certain distance and then turn?
39964But why do we call this the most essential part?
39964By the help of brown- study from the interior of our brain, from revelation, or from experience?
39964Can natural science do as much?
39964Can the world be understood in a hermitage?
39964Can we see the things themselves?
39964Can we, by mere deduction through concepts which go beyond experience, arrive at truths?
39964Could there not be some dogs who lacked the quality of watchfulness, and might not our pug- dog be very unreliable, in spite of all exact deductions?
39964Do animals arise when the hot and the cold begin to disintegrate, as some claim?
39964Do you not ask on seeing the portrait of some person unknown to you: Who is this?
39964Does he not say explicitly that the penetration of the wonders of creation promotes our material interests?
39964Does not this appear reasonable to you?...
39964Does that require any explanation?
39964Everything develops, why should not our intellects do so?
39964For are not the effects tangible by which reason transforms nature and life?
39964Has proud philosophy gained nothing since?
39964Has the earth a soul?
39964Have I now still to prove that all existence is of the same category?
39964Have not your thoughts been connected always and everywhere with some worldly or real object?
39964Have they a soul analogous to that of man?
39964Have you ever seen a portrait or a copy that did not agree in some respect with the original?
39964How are we to designate the species, how the genus?
39964How can a man who is out of touch with the mass of the shifting population feel that he is one with the universe?
39964How can thinkers who search for truth, being, relative causes, such as naturalists, be idealists?
39964How can we see everything?
39964How do we arrive at the knowledge of things which are not accessible to experience?
39964How do we know that?
39964How do we prove that a peach is a delicious fruit?
39964How do we solve this contradiction?
39964How is understanding possible?
39964I remember reading in a satirical paper the question:"What is a gentleman?
39964If the ancient Germans regarded the great oak as sacred and religious, why should not art and science become religious among the modern Germans?
39964If the function of the heart may be referred to as material, why not the function of the brain?
39964In certain shows, the clown is asked by the manager:"Clown, where have you been?"
39964In seeking for an answer to the question: What is philosophy?
39964In what respect are our material interests different from our mental penetration of things?
39964Is it an idea?
39964Is it not necessary, however, to make a distinction between poetry and truth?
39964Is it the blood, which enables us to think, or the air or the fire?
39964Is not everything a part, is not every part a thing?
39964Is not general wisdom that which comprises all knowledge, all special science?
39964Is not the air or the scent of flowers an ethereal body?
39964Is not the material world and its understanding as essential as reason, as intellect, which bends to the task of exploring this world?
39964Is the color of a leaf less of a thing than that leaf itself?
39964Is the world a concept?
39964Is this world- god a mere idea?
39964It is the solution of the riddle of the ancient Eleatic philosophy: How can the one be contained in the many, and the many in one?
39964It was the famous Kant who posed the question:"How is_ a priori_ knowledge possible?"
39964May not our modern viewpoint, the category in which our present day science thinks, the category of cause and effect, be equally transitory?
39964Mind and Matter: Which Is Primary, Which Is Secondary?
39964Multiplicity, change, motion-- who is to split hairs about them, who will make fine distinctions?
39964Must I not know everything in order to be world wise?
39964Must I prove this?
39964Now I ask: If nature, God, and absolute truth are one and the same thing, have we not learned something about the"final cause of all things?"
39964Now you are familiar with that student''s song:"What''s Coming from the Heights?"
39964Now, is this logic or is it theology?
39964Or are you spiritualists who make a metaphysical distinction between the truth and the phenomenon?
39964Or does it belong to the infinite and must it exist forever?
39964Otherwise, how could misunderstandings arise?
39964Our logic asks: Does wisdom descend mysteriously from the interior of the human brain, or does it come from the outer world like all experience?
39964Scientists as well as scribes have ever embarrassed one another by the question: What is truth?
39964Shall it be an idol or a king?
39964Shall we use the intellect philosophically, or shall we use it empirically?
39964Should not religion, which according to the words of a German emperor"must be preserved for the people,"also have its bounds in history?
39964Should not that appear mysterious to it?
39964Socrates in the market of Athens, and Plato in his dialogues, have probably said better things about the questions:"What is virtue?
39964The fetish cult, the animal cult, the cult of the ideal and spiritual creator, or the cult of the real human mind?
39964The great Kant has asked the plain question:"Is metaphysics practicable as a science?"
39964The human understanding has its limits, why should it not?
39964The next question is then: By what road do we arrive at its understanding?
39964The philosophical celebrities and classic authorities are not even in accord on the question: What is philosophy and what is its aim?
39964The question then arises: Which is the genuine and true division?
39964The statements: I do, I work, I think, must be completed by an answer to the question: What are you doing, working, thinking?
39964Thereupon Cebes asks:"Well, and what do you think of this now?"
39964This book, its leaves, its letters, or their parts, are they units?
39964Those sciences recognize only the phenomena of things; but where is the understanding which perceives the truth?"
39964To analyze this idea means to solve the question, what is walking generally considered, what is the general nature of walking?
39964What are all things?
39964What can be more evident?
39964What constitutes, then, this body which is distinguished from its transient form?
39964What do I know about the shoe industry, if I know that it produces shoes?
39964What good are all the treasures of Croesus, if health is lacking?
39964What good is health to us, when we have nothing to bite?
39964What is a"thing?"
39964What is it that Lessing says?
39964What is its beginning, what its end?
39964What is its positive achievement?
39964What is justice?
39964What is justice?
39964What is meant by political freedom?
39964What is moral and reasonable?"
39964What is not an image in the abstract, and what is more than an image in the concrete?
39964What is the reason for this?
39964What is the relation of the concrete to the abstract?
39964What is the use of metaphysics under these circumstances?
39964What would become of reason and language, if such a thing were to be considered?
39964What, then, is religion and religious?
39964Whence comes reason, where do we get our ideas, judgments, conclusions?
39964Where and how are we to find a positive and definite knowledge of it?
39964Where are we to begin and where to end?
39964Where do I begin, where do I stop?
39964Where do we find any indivisible unit outside of our abstract conceptions?
39964Where do we find such eternal, imperishable, formless matter?
39964Where does consciousness begin in the child?
39964Where does the variety of science, its undecided vacillation end, and when does understanding become stable?
39964Where is the consistent connection?
39964Where, then, is the beginning and end, and how can we bring order into these relations?
39964Where, who, what, is the supreme being to which everything else is subordinate, which brings system, consistency, logic, into our thought and actions?
39964Who and what are now the objects of philosophy?
39964Who has not heard the lament about the unreliability of the senses?
39964Who or what is the intellect, whence does it come from, whither does it lead?
39964Who will define to us what a line is?
39964Who will deny that he can feel the force of heat, of cold, of gravitation?
39964Who would be silly enough to deny that?
39964Why do you want to be a theist, if you are a naturalist, or a naturalist if you are a theist?
39964Why is not the"naturalistic"philosopher consistent by recognizing his special object, understanding, as a natural object?
39964Why should not the action of the brain belong in the same category as the action of the heart?
39964Why, then, speculate about God, freedom, and immortality, when indubitable knowledge may be obtained by the formal method of exact deductions?
39964Would any one try to make us believe that there is a great and almighty eye that can look through blocks of metal the same as through glass?
39964XII MIND AND MATTER: WHICH IS PRIMARY, WHICH SECONDARY?
39964You know the old question: Which was first, the egg or the hen?
39964You will probably ask: What has that to do with logic or the art of reasoning?
39964than the physiological study of the brain can bring us nearer to the solution of the question: What is thought?
40665Is the correspondence reached between idea and object the precise correspondence that the idea itself intended? 40665 Again must we ask: On what basis is this object in the absolute system selected at all? 40665 And by the time all this is performed what sort of a representation of reality is the idea? 40665 And now, finally, what shall mark the attainment of this purpose of the idea to correspond and representits own completed form"?
40665And what in their operations marks the difference between truth and error?
40665Because there could be other cases of counting, and other numbers counted than the present counting process shows you, and why so?
40665But does not Bosanquet himself point out a pathway which, if followed farther, would reach a more satisfactory view of the realm of knowledge?
40665But granted that this is all true, what has it to do with the origin of the hypothesis?
40665But has this distinction between the content of an experience and its existence solved the problem of how we_ know_ reality?
40665But how can we know that the expression is"fragmentary"unless we have some experience of wholeness?
40665But how did it happen that it did not take the form:"This is not cake"?
40665But how do you prove it?
40665But how does he know that reality is continuous, and that the real world is an organized system?
40665But how is this possible if reality lies without or beyond our act of judging?
40665But if all this is admitted, what becomes of the possibility of knowledge?
40665But if this reconstruction and response were to follow at once, would there be any clearly defined act of judging at all?
40665But if thought just accepts its material, how can there be any distinctive aim or activity of thought at all?
40665But if we do test it, is not such test enough?
40665But is it a question of merest chance which of these various possibilities is actualized?
40665But is this necessary?
40665But just where does our contact with the real occur?
40665But the question to be answered first is: When would such a"statement"occur in the course of our experience?
40665But they part company when a fundamental question is raised: Is all organized meaning the work of thought?
40665But what precisely is the form and seat of the aphasia?
40665But whence comes this restlessness and dissatisfaction?
40665But why should this activity get into a condition to be described as"indefinite restlessness"and dissatisfaction?
40665But why?
40665But, as the first statement of internal meaning implies, how can one have a purpose to sing the melody except in and through the idea?
40665Did he, then, either contribute to the proof of a general law or discover further characteristics of things already known in a more general way?
40665Does this coequal presence guarantee an objectivity?
40665Does this mean that the"idea"is wholly independent of the"image"?
40665Does this phase of the moon really mean rain, or does it just happen that the rain- storm comes when the moon has reached this phase?
40665Has it diagnosed the case properly, and is it therefore one in and through which these activities can operate and come to unity again?
40665Has it gained in validity in ceasing to be an independent myth, in becoming an element in systematized myth?
40665Has it not disarmed itself?
40665How can conceptualism prevent the union?
40665How can one maintain that in a literal and concrete physical sense gold in process of solution is the"same"as gold entering into chemical combination?
40665How can the former in any sense give a check or test of the value of the latter?
40665How can thought compare its own contents with that which is wholly outside itself?
40665How can we ever be sure that the fact which we have discovered will stand the test of further thought- constructions?
40665How do we know the same is not the case with the ideas which are the product of our most deliberate and extended scientific inquiry?
40665How does it know which to eliminate as irrelevant and which to confirm as grounded?
40665How does the real world get representation in experience, and what is the guarantee that the representation, when obtained, is correct?
40665How does thought know which of the combinations are merely coincident and which are merely coherent?
40665How otherwise can we explain, for example, the action of an expert ball- player?
40665How shall it secure this?
40665How shall we describe it?
40665How, after all, does even the ideally perfect valid thought apply or refer to reality?
40665How, the implication runs, could reflection become generalized save by elimination of details as irrelevant?
40665How, then, can it serve as the subject of a judgment?
40665How, then, does it obtain its characteristic of universality?
40665How, then, does this fact of past assignment to uses still recognized as desirable figure in the situation?
40665If it is essential, then how explain the fact that its parts do not fall outside one another in time?
40665If it is not essential, then how explain the evident fact that the judgment as an intellectual process does have duration?
40665If so, what is this something else?
40665If the experiment with the pendulum only substituted exactness for inexactness, did the Copernican theory do anything different in_ kind_?
40665In other words, what does this restlessness mean?
40665In other words, what is the significance of the demand for the particular judgment?
40665In the end the one problem holds: How do the specifications of thought as such hold good of reality as such?
40665In the introduction we have been told, as a matter of description, that the internal meanings do seek the external meaning, but why do they?
40665In the last analysis the problem always is: What is to be done here and now with the actual material at hand, under the present conditions?
40665In what sense, with reference to what, is it incomplete and fragmentary?
40665Is it a general claim which thought_ qua_ thought puts forth, or is it the claim of the content of some particular thought?
40665Is it begging the question to speak of consciousness as exercising a selective function with reference to stimuli?
40665Is the reality we now have the same that we had to begin with?
40665Is this thinking?
40665Is this to be taken in a static or in a dynamic way?
40665Just what are we to understand by this"fragmentary"and"indeterminate"character of the internal meaning?
40665Mr. Bosanquet raises the question: Are there at all ideas which are not symbolic?...
40665Must we not here fall back on something like a pre- established harmony?
40665Must you not just dogmatically say that that world must agree with your negations?
40665Not what is the test of thought at large, but what validates and confirms_ this_ thought?
40665Now, any idea that is affirmed is referred to reality, but do ideas exist which are not being affirmed?
40665Now, at what point does this act begin?
40665Now, how shall we discriminate the ethical and the economic aspects of the situation which we have described?
40665On the other hand, if truth is to be found in the immediate experience, can it here be preserved from the blighting effects of thought?
40665Or, in a word: What is the"jurisdiction"of the economic point of view?
40665Perhaps some one has been startled, and asks:"What is this noise?"
40665So that our question now becomes: What is the significance of this factor of restless, dissatisfied consciousness in activity?
40665Still the query haunts us: Is this so in truth?
40665That is to say, at this point the question is: Does the plan apply to the activities actually involved in the unrest?
40665That is to say: Does it express the fact that a given content or meaning is_ de facto_ presented to the consciousness of all alike?
40665The more specific question is: How does the particular functional situation termed the reflective behave?
40665The purposive character of experience is of course very manifest, but what is the significance of this purposing in experience as a whole?
40665The question remains: Why, if there is no opposition, should there be any uncertainty?
40665The significance of these may be doubted: Do they_ mean_ real change in the sun or in the earth?
40665Under these conditions we get such questions as the following: What is the relation of rational thought to crude or unreflective experience?
40665Under what circumstances, then, are we conscious of stimuli in their capacity of guides or incentives or grounds of conduct?
40665Under what conditions, then, is this suspense and uncertainty possible?
40665We can lay out alternative courses beforehand, but the point of difficulty lies here:"But just which is he?"
40665What alliance, or_ mésalliance_, may they not form, one with the other?
40665What can we mean, then, by calling some of our ideas true and others false?
40665What does this mean save that judgment is developmental, transitive, in effect and purport?
40665What have you, then, but an elementary and primitive type of reflex action?
40665What here becomes of the distinction between immediate and mediating experience?
40665What is meant by"further research shows universally, perhaps, that No A is B"?
40665What is the agent''s apprehension of the matter?
40665What is the barrier which prevents reason from complete penetration into the world of truth?
40665What is the function, then, of the representative image?
40665What is the matter?
40665What is the relation between it and the immediate experience?
40665What is the relation of thought to reality?
40665What is the relative value of each in experience as a whole?
40665What is the significance and basis of universality and necessity as confined merely to the realm of internal meaning?
40665What is the source and the material of the purposes?
40665What is the test of the reality of the bread, and the truth of the judgment?
40665What is the validity of the various forms of thinking which find expression in the various types of judgment and in the various forms of inference?
40665What is their relation to truth and error?
40665What is to be done?
40665What is, however, the ground of distinction between the presented objects?
40665What kind of"research,"internal or external, can show this?
40665What predicate-- so we may formulate their question-- should be given to the subject?
40665What shall we say of the validity of such processes?
40665What then is the nature and source of this apprehension of end or means as valuable?
40665What we have to reckon with is not the problem of, How can I think_ überhaupt_?
40665What, then, in this action already going on is responsible for this restlessness?
40665What, then, is the real difference between hypothesis and expectation?
40665When is the correspondence and representation true?
40665When is this purpose of the idea to correspond with its absolute, final, and completed form fulfilled, or partially fulfilled?
40665When we ask,"What rains?"
40665Why does it seek an object?
40665Why does it want to cross the chasm?
40665Why have we to reckon with it at all?
40665Why is there a task of transformation?
40665Why should not we also enjoy an original relation to the universe?
40665Why should not we have a poetry and philosophy of insight and not of tradition, and a religion by revelation to us and not the history of theirs?"
40665Why suppose that by distorting reality we get it in shape to affirm_ of_ reality?
40665Why would they not all remain in conflict and continue to check any positive result?
40665Why, then, should there be a demand for the external meaning, for a further object?
40665Why?
40665Will it enable me to support and educate my family?
40665Will it permit me to devote sufficient attention to their present care and training?
40665Will this life of social agitation really be quite"respectable,"and befitting the character of a sober and industrious man?
40665[ 186] But what is it that we"experience within"which makes us call this judgment necessary?

31796No, no; I mean, how do you find yourself?

31796And is not, therefore, the proper form of proposition Some S is P?
31796And who is to instruct us in the full meaning?
31796And why is there this complete agreement?
31796Are we to include it in the Predicate term or in the Subject term?
31796But according to what differences?
31796But any logical advantage-- any help to thinking?
31796But do they hang together?
31796But do we in reality conclude it from the proposition, All men are mortal?"
31796But how, it may be asked, can the concept remain the same?
31796But is this principle really all that we assume?
31796But there are cases where friends are deceived for their own good: are these cases of injustice?
31796But what of propositions that the plain man would at once recognise as Verbal?
31796But who was the founder of the New Logic?
31796But why did Aristotle consider it necessary to lay down a principle so obvious?
31796But why did he desire to concatenate this with the old Logic?
31796But why is it that a man can not get rid of an idea?
31796But, Whately argued, how do we know that this, that and the other-- the individuals we have examined-- constitute the whole class?

31796Can a fallacy in argument be detected at once?
31796Can it be accounted for most probably by supposing the event stated to have really occurred with all the circumstances alleged?
31796Can the definition be that a man who deceives his friends is unjust?
31796Can the leopard change his spots?
31796Can those degrees be measured numerically?

31796Does Logic shelter the quibbler who trades upon it?
31796Does any analogous use for the Syllogism remain?
31796Does common- sense inspect the argument in a lump or piecemeal?
31796Does he admit this?
31796Does it help to prevent error, to clear up confusion?
31796Does it lead to firmer conceptions of the truth?
31796Does the ox ruminate?
31796Does this mean that it is not possible for Socrates to fly, or that it is possible for Socrates not to fly?
31796Does this not come to the same thing?

31796How are men to be brought to accept loyally the judgment of the expert in public affairs?
31796How did the Aristotelian Logic originate?
31796How do we know that the nineteen moods are the only possible forms of valid syllogism?
31796How do you proceed?
31796How is it conceived?
31796How is it continued?
31796How is it to be averted?
31796How is its signification conceived?
31796How is the unity maintained?
31796How then, do we ordinarily proceed in conceiving, if we can not picture the common attributes alone and apart from particulars?
31796How would it proceed?
31796How?
31796How?
31796If we refuse the name of Induction to the general proposition of fact, what are we to call it?
31796If you admit the first two, are you bound in consistency to admit the third?
31796If, proceeding on this, I go on to ask:"Then they are paved with granite or asphalt, or this or that?"
31796In how many ways may this relation be established through a third term?
31796In ignoring this implication, does Logic oppose this implication as erroneous?
31796In the case of Mill''s system we have to ask: What first moved him to formulate the methods of scientific investigation?
31796In what circumstances did Aristotle invent these?
31796In what circumstances did it originate?
31796In what form would it be so?
31796Is Logic then really useless, or even misleading, inasmuch as it ignores the definite implication of negatives in ordinary thought and speech?
31796Is S in or out of P, and is it wholly in or wholly out or partly in or partly out?
31796Is common- sense sufficient?
31796Is it a copy of some particular impression, or a confused blur or blend of many?
31796Is it good then to be disillusioned?
31796Is it one of that class?
31796Is it the case that no man can live without sleep?
31796Is it, then, impossible to decide between these alternative possibilities of causation?
31796Is the explanation then to be found in some special adaptability of the religious system to the character of the people?
31796Is the predicate applicable to All victories or only to Some?
31796Is the subject of the conclusion contained in the subject of the general principle when the two have identical predicates?
31796Is the truth of the conclusion a necessary consequence of the truth of the premisses?
31796Is there a place for it as a safeguard against error in modern debate?
31796Is there any advantage in this?
31796Is there then no way of ascertaining historical fact?
31796Is this not, it may be asked, to confuse thought and being, to resolve Socrates into a string of words?
31796Is war one of the things that increase taxation?
31796It is to be observed that for this operation we do not practically use the syllogistic form All S is P. We do not raise the question Is All S, P?
31796Must we reject history as altogether unworthy of credit?
31796Now the psychological question about the Universal is, What is this conception?
31796Occam himself speaks of the subject as the primary signification, and the attribute as the secondary, because the answer to"What is white?"
31796Passing by these remoter questions, we may give the answers of the three extreme schools to the ontological question, What is a Universal?
31796Psychologically, then, the theory is sound: what is its logical value?
31796Put the question"Is Socrates wise?"
31796Romeo must be in love: for is he not seventeen?
31796Should he coin new names, or should he take old names and try to fit them with new definitions?
31796Should this be expressed as A or I?
31796Such a decrease took place_ post hoc_; was it_ propter hoc_?
31796Suppose a man deceives his enemies, is there any injustice in that?
31796Suppose we doubt whether a given agent is or is not capable of producing a certain effect in certain circumstances, how do we put it to the proof?
31796Suppose we want to know whether a particular conclusion is consistent with our memorandum, what have we to look to?
31796Suppose yourself the Questioner, where did he profess to help you with his mechanism?
31796The categories are exhaustive, but do they fulfil another requisite of a good division-- are they mutually exclusive?
31796The first thing that an inquirer naturally asks when confronted by numerous instances of a phenomenon is, What have they in common?
31796The goat?
31796The logical question is, Has the view any advantage for logical purposes?
31796The psychological question is, Is this a correct theory of how men actually think when they make propositions?
31796The question has been raised, For how long can oral tradition be trusted?
31796The question has sometimes been asked, Where should we begin in Logic?
31796The question, Who are to be placed together?
31796The sheep?
31796The statement at least is extant: our first question is, What is the most rational way of accounting for it?
31796The type of a general proposition in Syllogistic terminology is the Major Premiss, All M is P. What is the type of the particulars that it sums up?
31796To raise the question: What is the proper form for a Modal of Possibility, A or I?
31796Was it due to the character of the drinking- water?
31796Was it due to the geological formation?
31796We may ask, further, What is there in nature that the general name signifies?
31796We see the nature of the proof relied upon when we ask, How far must elimination be carried in order to attain proof of causal connexion?
31796What about the selection of the names?

31796Why describe Logic as a system of defence against error?
31796Why did he give his scientific method the form of a supplement to the old Aristotelian Logic?
31796Why do we believe more confidently in some uniformities than in others?
31796Why do we dip our pens in ink, and expect the application of them to white paper to be followed by a black mark?
31796Why do we not look for it in another wall?
31796Why does it force itself upon him as a belief?
31796Why is it endemic in some localities and not in others?
31796Why is this?
31796Why lay down principles so obvious, in some interpretations, and so manifestly sophistical in others?
31796Why not rather say, as is now usual, that its end is the attainment of truth?
31796Why say that its main end and aim is the organisation of reason against confusion and falsehood?
31796Why would a reported breach of one be regarded with more incredulity than that of another?

1598''But,''retorts Dionysodorus,''is not learning acquiring knowledge?''
1598''Cleinias,''says Euthydemus,''who learn, the wise or the unwise?''

1598Amid the dangers of the sea, again, are any more fortunate on the whole than wise pilots?
1598And a coward would do less than a courageous and temperate man?
1598And a slow man less than a quick; and one who had dull perceptions of seeing and hearing less than one who had keen ones?
1598And an indolent man less than an active man?
1598And are not good things good, and evil things evil?
1598And are not health and beauty goods, and other personal gifts?
1598And are not the scribes most fortunate in writing and reading letters?
1598And are not these gods animals?

1598And being other than a stone, you are not a stone; and being other than gold, you are not gold?
1598And can any one do anything about that which has no existence, or do to Cleinias that which is not and is nowhere?
1598And can he vault among swords, and turn upon a wheel, at his age?
1598And clearly we do not want the art of the flute- maker; this is only another of the same sort?
1598And did you always know this?
1598And did you not say that you knew something?
1598And do all other men know all things or nothing?
1598And do the Scythians and others see that which has the quality of vision, or that which has not?
1598And do they speak great things of the great, rejoined Euthydemus, and warm things of the warm?
1598And do you know of any word which is alive?
1598And do you know stitching?
1598And do you know things such as the numbers of the stars and of the sand?
1598And do you know with what you know, or with something else?
1598And do you please?
1598And do you really and truly know all things, including carpentering and leather- cutting?
1598And do you suppose that gold is not gold, or that a man is not a man?
1598And doing is making?
1598And gudgeons and puppies and pigs are your brothers?
1598And have not other Athenians, he said, an ancestral Zeus?
1598And have you no need, Euthydemus?
1598And have you not admitted that those who do not know are of the number of those who have not?
1598And have you not admitted that you always know all things with that which you know, whether you make the addition of''when you know them''or not?
1598And he has puppies?
1598And he is not wise as yet?
1598And he who says that thing says that which is?
1598And he who tells, tells that thing which he tells, and no other?
1598And if a man does his business he does rightly?
1598And if a person had wealth and all the goods of which we were just now speaking, and did not use them, would he be happy because he possessed them?
1598And if there are such, are they the same or not the same as absolute beauty?''
1598And if we knew how to convert stones into gold, the knowledge would be of no value to us, unless we also knew how to use the gold?
1598And if you were engaged in war, in whose company would you rather take the risk-- in company with a wise general, or with a foolish one?
1598And if you were ill, whom would you rather have as a companion in a dangerous illness-- a wise physician, or an ignorant one?
1598And in telling a lie, do you tell the thing of which you speak or not?
1598And is Patrocles, he said, your brother?
1598And is he not yours?
1598And is that fair?
1598And is that something, he rejoined, always the same, or sometimes one thing, and sometimes another thing?
1598And is this true?
1598And knowing is having knowledge at the time?
1598And may a person use them either rightly or wrongly?
1598And may there not be a silence of the speaker?
1598And not knowing is not having knowledge at the time?
1598And now answer: Do you always know with this?
1598And now, O son of Axiochus, let me put a question to you: Do not all men desire happiness?
1598And philosophy is the acquisition of knowledge?
1598And please to tell me whether you intend to exhibit your wisdom; or what will you do?
1598And seeing that in war to have arms is a good thing, he ought to have as many spears and shields as possible?
1598And should we be any the better if we went about having a knowledge of the places where most gold was hidden in the earth?
1598And should we be happy by reason of the presence of good things, if they profited us not, or if they profited us?
1598And so Chaeredemus, he said, being other than a father, is not a father?
1598And speaking is doing and making?
1598And surely, in the manufacture of vessels, knowledge is that which gives the right way of making them?
1598And tell me, I said, O tell me, what do possessions profit a man, if he have neither good sense nor wisdom?
1598And that is a distinct thing apart from other things?
1598And that is impossible?
1598And that which is not is nowhere?
1598And the business of the cook is to cut up and skin; you have admitted that?
1598And the dog is the father of them?
1598And they are the teachers of those who learn-- the grammar- master and the lyre- master used to teach you and other boys; and you were the learners?
1598And to have money everywhere and always is a good?
1598And was Sophroniscus a father, and Chaeredemus also?
1598And were you not just now saying that you could teach virtue best of all men, to any one who was willing to learn?
1598And were you wise then?
1598And what does that signify?
1598And what is your notion?
1598And what knowledge ought we to acquire?
1598And what other goods are there?
1598And what things do we esteem good?
1598And when you were learners you did not as yet know the things which you were learning?
1598And who has to kill and skin and mince and boil and roast?
1598And who would do least-- a poor man or a rich man?
1598And whose the making of pots?
1598And why should you say so?
1598And would not you, Crito, say the same?
1598And would they profit us, if we only had them and did not use them?
1598And would you arm Geryon and Briareus in that way?
1598And would you be able, Socrates, to recognize this wisdom when it has become your own?
1598And would you be happy if you had three talents of gold in your belly, a talent in your pate, and a stater in either eye?''
1598And yet, perhaps, I was right after all in saying that words have a sense;--what do you say, wise man?
1598And you admit gold to be a good?
1598And you admitted that of animals those are yours which you could give away or sell or offer in sacrifice, as you pleased?
1598And you also see that which has the quality of vision?
1598And you say that gentlemen speak of things as they are?
1598And your mother, too, is the mother of all?
1598And your papa is a dog?
1598Are the things which have sense alive or lifeless?
1598Are you not ashamed, Socrates, of asking a question when you are asked one?
1598Are you not other than a stone?
1598Are you prepared to make that good?
1598Are you saying this as a paradox, Dionysodorus; or do you seriously maintain no man to be ignorant?
1598At any rate they are yours, he said, did you not admit that?
1598Bravo Heracles, or is Heracles a Bravo?
1598But are you quite sure about this, Dionysodorus and Euthydemus?
1598But can a father be other than a father?
1598But can we contradict one another, said Dionysodorus, when both of us are describing the same thing?
1598But can wisdom be taught?
1598But did you carry the search any further, and did you find the art which you were seeking?
1598But how can I refute you, if, as you say, to tell a falsehood is impossible?
1598But how, he said, by reason of one thing being present with another, will one thing be another?
1598But if he can not speak falsely, may he not think falsely?
1598But if you were not wise you were unlearned?
1598But suppose, I said, that we were to learn the art of making speeches-- would that be the art which would make us happy?
1598But what need is there of good fortune when we have wisdom already:--in every art and business are not the wise also the fortunate?
1598But when I describe something and you describe another thing, or I say something and you say nothing-- is there any contradiction?
1598But when the teacher dictates to you, does he not dictate letters?
1598But when you speak of stones, wood, iron bars, do you not speak of the silent?
1598But why should I repeat the whole story?
1598CRITO: And did Euthydemus show you this knowledge?
1598CRITO: And do you mean, Socrates, that the youngster said all this?
1598CRITO: And were you not right, Socrates?
1598CRITO: But, Socrates, are you not too old?
1598CRITO: How did that happen, Socrates?
1598CRITO: Well, and what came of that?
1598CRITO: What do you say of them, Socrates?
1598CRITO: Who was the person, Socrates, with whom you were talking yesterday at the Lyceum?
1598CRITO: Why not, Socrates?
1598Can there be any doubt that good birth, and power, and honours in one''s own land, are goods?
1598Certainly; did you think we should say No to that?
1598Ctesippus, here taking up the argument, said: And is not your father in the same case, for he is other than my father?
1598Did we not agree that philosophy should be studied?
1598Do those, said he, who learn, learn what they know, or what they do not know?
1598Do you agree with me?
1598Do you agree?
1598Do you know something, Socrates, or nothing?
1598Do you not know letters?
1598Do you not remember?
1598Do you suppose the same person to be a father and not a father?
1598Do you, Dionysodorus, maintain that there is not?
1598Does it not supply us with the fruits of the earth?
1598Does not your omniscient brother appear to you to have made a mistake?
1598Euthydemus answered: And that which is not is not?
1598Euthydemus proceeded: There are some whom you would call teachers, are there not?
1598Euthydemus replied: And do you think, Ctesippus, that it is possible to tell a lie?
1598For example, if we had a great deal of food and did not eat, or a great deal of drink and did not drink, should we be profited?
1598For example, would a carpenter be any the better for having all his tools and plenty of wood, if he never worked?
1598For tell me now, is not learning acquiring knowledge of that which one learns?
1598For then neither of us says a word about the thing at all?
1598Here Ctesippus was silent; and I in my astonishment said: What do you mean, Dionysodorus?
1598How can he who speaks contradict him who speaks not?
1598I can not say that I like the connection; but is he only my father, Euthydemus, or is he the father of all other men?
1598I did, I said; what is going to happen to me?
1598I said, and where did you learn that?
1598I should have far more reason to beat yours, said Ctesippus; what could he have been thinking of when he begat such wise sons?
1598I turned to the other, and said, What do you think, Euthydemus?
1598Is not that your position?
1598Is not the honourable honourable and the base base?
1598Is not this the result-- that other things are indifferent, and that wisdom is the only good, and ignorance the only evil?
1598Is that your difficulty?
1598Is there no such thing as error, ignorance, falsehood?
1598Let me ask you one little question more, said Dionysodorus, quickly interposing, in order that Ctesippus might not get in his word: You beat this dog?
1598Look at the matter thus: If he did fewer things would he not make fewer mistakes?
1598May we not answer with absolute truth-- A knowledge which will do us good?
1598Nay, said Ctesippus, but the question which I ask is whether all things are silent or speak?
1598Nay, take nothing away; I desire no favours of you; but let me ask: Would you be able to know all things, if you did not know all things?
1598Neither did I tell you just now to refute me, said Dionysodorus; for how can I tell you to do that which is not?
1598Now Euthydemus, if I remember rightly, began nearly as follows: O Cleinias, are those who learn the wise or the ignorant?
1598Now in the working and use of wood, is not that which gives the right use simply the knowledge of the carpenter?
1598Of their existence or of their non- existence?
1598Of what country are they, and what is their line of wisdom?
1598Or a speaking of the silent?
1598Or when neither of us is speaking of the same thing?
1598Or would an artisan, who had all the implements necessary for his work, and did not use them, be any the better for the possession of them?
1598Perhaps you may not be ready with an answer?
1598Poseidon, I said, this is the crown of wisdom; can I ever hope to have such wisdom of my own?
1598Quite true, I said; and that I have always known; but the question is, where did I learn that the good are unjust?
1598SOCRATES: And does the kingly art make men wise and good?
1598SOCRATES: And in what will they be good and useful?
1598SOCRATES: And surely it ought to do us some good?
1598SOCRATES: And what does the kingly art do when invested with supreme power?
1598SOCRATES: And what of your own art of husbandry, supposing that to have supreme authority over the subject arts-- what does that do?
1598SOCRATES: And what would you say that the kingly art does?
1598SOCRATES: And will you on this account shun all these pursuits yourself and refuse to allow them to your son?
1598SOCRATES: Are you incredulous, Crito?
1598SOCRATES: But then what is this knowledge, and what are we to do with it?
1598SOCRATES: O Crito, they are marvellous men; but what was I going to say?
1598SOCRATES: There were two, Crito; which of them do you mean?
1598SOCRATES: Well, and do you not see that in each of these arts the many are ridiculous performers?
1598SOCRATES: What, all men, and in every respect?
1598Shall we not be happy if we have many good things?
1598Shall we say, Crito, that it is the knowledge by which we are to make other men good?
1598Tell me, he said, Socrates and the rest of you who say that you want this young man to become wise, are you in jest or in real earnest?
1598Tell me, then, you two, do you not know some things, and not know others?
1598That makes no difference;--and must you not, if you are knowing, know all things?
1598That will do, he said: And would you admit that anything is what it is, and at the same time is not what it is?
1598Then Dionysodorus takes up the ball:''Who are they who learn dictation of the grammar- master; the wise or the foolish boys?''
1598Then are they not animals?
1598Then do you see our garments?
1598Then he is the same?
1598Then if you know all letters, he dictates that which you know?
1598Then in every possession and every use of a thing, knowledge is that which gives a man not only good- fortune but success?
1598Then tell me, he said, do you know anything?
1598Then the good speak evil of evil things, if they speak of them as they are?
1598Then there is no such thing as false opinion?
1598Then there is no such thing as ignorance, or men who are ignorant; for is not ignorance, if there be such a thing, a mistake of fact?
1598Then those who learn are of the class of those who acquire, and not of those who have?
1598Then we must surely be speaking the same thing?
1598Then what are they professing to teach?''
1598Then what is the inference?
1598Then why did you ask me what sense my words had?
1598Then, I said, a man who would be happy must not only have the good things, but he must also use them; there is no advantage in merely having them?
1598Then, I said, you know all things, if you know anything?
1598Then, after a pause, in which he seemed to be lost in the contemplation of something great, he said: Tell me, Socrates, have you an ancestral Zeus?
1598Then, my dear boy, I said, the knowledge which we want is one that uses as well as makes?
1598Then, my good friend, do they all speak?
1598Then, said he, you learn what you know, if you know all the letters?
1598Then, said the other, you do not learn that which he dictates; but he only who does not know letters learns?
1598Upon what principle?
1598Very true, said Ctesippus; and do you think, Euthydemus, that he ought to have one shield only, and one spear?
1598Very well, I said; and where in the company shall we find a place for wisdom-- among the goods or not?
1598Well, Cleinias, but if you have the use as well as the possession of good things, is that sufficient to confer happiness?
1598Well, I said; but then what am I to do?
1598Well, but do rhetoricians, when they speak in the assembly, do nothing?
1598Well, but, Euthydemus, I said, has that never happened to you?
1598Well, have not all things words expressive of them?
1598Well, said he, and so you say that you wish Cleinias to become wise?
1598Were they other than the beautiful, or the same as the beautiful?
1598What am I to do with them?
1598What can make you tell such a lie about me and the others, which I hardly like to repeat, as that I wish Cleinias to perish?
1598What can they see?
1598What do I know?
1598What do you mean, Dionysodorus?
1598What do you mean, I said; do you know nothing?
1598What do you mean?
1598What followed, Crito, how can I rightly narrate?
1598What is that?
1598What is that?
1598What knowledge is there which has such a nature?
1598What marvellous dexterity of wit, I said, enabled you to acquire this great perfection in such a short time?
1598What of that?
1598What proof shall I give you?
1598What then do you say?
1598What then is the result of what has been said?
1598What, I said, are you blessed with such a power as this?
1598What, before you, Dionysodorus?
1598What, he said, do you think that you know what is your own?
1598What, of men only, said Ctesippus, or of horses and of all other animals?
1598What, replied Dionysodorus in a moment; am I the brother of Euthydemus?
1598What, said Ctesippus; then all things are not silent?
1598What, said he, is the business of a good workman?
1598When you and I describe the same thing, or you describe one thing and I describe another, how can there be a contradiction?''
1598When you are silent, said Euthydemus, is there not a silence of all things?
1598When you were children, and at your birth?
1598Whither then shall we go, I said, and to what art shall we have recourse?
1598Why do you laugh, Cleinias, I said, at such solemn and beautiful things?
1598Why do you say so?
1598Why not?
1598Why, Ctesippus, said Dionysodorus, do you mean to say that any one speaks of things as they are?
1598Why, Socrates, said Dionysodorus, did you ever see a beautiful thing?
1598Will you let me see you explaining to the young man how he is to apply himself to the study of virtue and wisdom?
1598Will you not cease adding to your answers?
1598Will you not take our word that we know all things?
1598Will you tell me how many teeth Euthydemus has?
1598With what I know; and I suppose that you mean with my soul?
1598Would a man be better off, having and doing many things without wisdom, or a few things with wisdom?
1598Yes, he said, and you would mean by animals living beings?
1598Yes; and your mother has a progeny of sea- urchins then?
1598You admit that?
1598You agree then, that those animals only are yours with which you have the power to do all these things which I was just naming?
1598You remember, I said, our making the admission that we should be happy and fortunate if many good things were present with us?
1598You then, learning what you did not know, were unlearned when you were learning?
1598You think, I said, that to act with a wise man is more fortunate than to act with an ignorant one?
1598You wish him to be what he is not, and no longer to be what he is?
1598You wish him, he said, to become wise and not, to be ignorant?
1598and if he had fewer misfortunes would he not be less miserable?
1598and teach them all the arts,--carpentering, and cobbling, and the rest of them?
1598and was not that our conclusion?
1598and will you explain how I possess that knowledge for which we were seeking?
1598for you admit that all things which have life are animals; and have not these gods life?
1598has he got to such a height of skill as that?
1598if he made fewer mistakes would he not have fewer misfortunes?
1598or are you the same as a stone?
1598tell me, in the first place, whose business is hammering?
