And then, like good, confidential, unenvying friends as they were, they exchanged papers and gave each other a sight of their work. When each had read and returned his rival's thesis, Walter said with a sigh: "It will be just as I foreboded, Ishmael. I said you would take the prize, and now I know it." Ishmael paused some time before he answered calmly: "No, Walter, I will not take it."
This, however, is a thesis which I shall try to develop in a forthcoming work. The Buddhistic chronicle then describes the grandeur and the downfall of the kingdom of Israel, and its conquest by the foreign nations who reduced the inhabitants to slavery.
I have been unwilling to leave out of sight the connection between our thesis that Reason governs and has governed the world and the question of the possibility of a knowledge of God, chiefly that I might not lose the opportunity of mentioning the imputation against philosophy of being shy of noticing religious truths, or of having occasion to be so; in which is insinuated the suspicion that it has anything but a clear conscience in the presence of these truths.
Several lesser links also connect the first and second parts of the dialogue: The thesis is the same as that which Zeno has been already discussing: Parmenides has intimated in the first part, that the method of Zeno should, as Socrates desired, be extended to Ideas: The difficulty of participating in greatness, smallness, equality is urged against the Ideas as well as against the One.
It is opportune also, as one has dwelt in thesis II on that which pleases, to dwell here upon that which seems good, that is, upon that which God finds good to do.
The thesis of this book is the effect of fixed dogma in producing mental paralysis, and the use of this mental paralysis by Economic Exploitation. From that standpoint the various Protestant sects are better than the Catholic, but not much better.
I prove my proposition by going from the negative to the positive, that is, by deducing the truth of my thesis from the progress of the objections to it. God, say the believers, can be conceived only as infinitely good, infinitely wise, infinitely powerful, etc., the whole litany of the infinites.
"No. 5 is an intricate instrument. The advantage claimed for it is that it enables a large number of persons to leave together." While the thesis was under discussion, the attendance was increased by a few members specially interested in the question of female suffrage.
Do you mean by this that the point or rather points wounded by the sting are the only points at which a lesion will suddenly cause either death or paralysis? If so, I share your opinion; not only do I share it, but I was the first to proclaim it. My whole thesis is contained in that.
I grasp a fish bigger than myself and struggle with it, but am compelled to give it up. Another symbol: my work is plainly too big for me; this question is too much for me to handle, and this thesis will ultimately have to be given up as the big fish is.
