In Plato Socrates refutes the accusation indirectly, using a line of argument entirely differing from that of Xenophon. But in Plato, too, the accusation is treated as being in no way extraordinary. In my opinion, Plato’s Apology cannot be used as historical evidence for details unless special reasons can be given proving their historical value beyond the fact that they occur in the Apology.
The meditations in question are therefore necessarily to be connected with the particular sacrificial performances to which they belong. This view the Sutra refutes, 'There is non-restriction with regard to the determinations. By 'determination' we have here to understand the definite settling of the mind in a certain direction, in other words, meditation.
This statement refutes the assertion of the false apostles that Paul had been a pupil of the apostles, from which the false apostles inferred that Paul had been instructed in the obedience of the Law, that therefore the Gentiles also ought to keep the Law and submit to circumcision. Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
If on the one side we had not had thinker after thinker who emphasised the necessity of approaching reality as a relation of the conscious mind, and on the other side sceptics who asserted that there is nothing knowable but the continuum of disconnected sensations which present themselves a blind array of atoms there would be no meaning in a thesis like that of Professor James, which refutes the follies of the two extremes, and stands upon a ground which is very nearly a denial of the possibility of philosophy.
He rebukes, refutes, contradicts, defies, and has a magnificent capacity for indignation. He will roar you like a lion, his eyes will flash, and his clenched fist will shake as he denounces that which he believes to be error. And yet among inferiors he will consult, defer, inquire, and show a humility, a forced suavity, that has given the caricaturist excuse.
But surely this assertion refutes itself; for, if it be true, why do the planters and merchants pay such a price for slaves? And, above all, why do those who make this assertion exclaim the most loudly against the abolition of the slave trade? So much are men blinded, and to such inconsistent arguments are they driven by mistaken interest!
Passing over chapter xxvii., in which Mr Mill refutes Sir W. Hamilton's opinion that the study of mathematics is worthless, or nearly so, as an intellectual discipline we shall now call attention to the concluding remarks which sum up the results of the volume.
Denzil remained silent, he had never seen Stepan so agitated. The situation was altogether very unusual. Then he asked: "Do you think Ferdinand will make some protest then?" "It is possible." "But there is absolutely nothing to be said, the fact of there being a child refutes all the old rumours." "In law " "In every way," a flush had mounted to Denzil's forehead. "You know Lemon Bridges?"
The Constitution itself, in its very front, refutes that idea; it declares that it is ordained and established by the people of the United States.
That the organization of military strength involves provocation to war is a fallacy, which the experience of each succeeding year now refutes.
