Not long thereafter, time largely disappeared from reigning doctrines of real numbers, evolving temporal sequences being transmuted into purely class-theoretic aggregates...

... boys and Euclid's theorems. The lovers of sights and sounds of Republic Book 5 would find this an all too "abstract" account of beauty or the fine in a quite straightforward sense. This quasi-mathematical account is entirely detached from what they enjoy and seek in their engagement with the world...

Plato s metaphysical lover is confounded by his infatuation for a beautiful boy until he recollects the Form that is the true object of his experience. Plato s sketch...

... for a beautiful boy until he recollects the Form that is the true object of his experience. Plato’s sketch of the unconscious at the start of Republic book 9 famously traces Oedipal desires, emergent only in dreams (though without the disguise of dreamwork), ”in every one of us, even those who seem most...

... essence—that is, only if the thing is as it is definitively represented (25–32). Potter’s nominal essence includes being a boy wizard, and nothing has ever exemplified such a property cluster.

Though he traces the demand for certainty back to St. Thomas, and especially to Buridan, in lecture 2 Descartes is Pasnau's poster boy for an epistemology focused on certainty (21–26). But, he argues, as epistemology evolves, it becomes clearer and clearer that human beings...

... the chips are down. In fact, when we discover that a person is ignorant of a good trait, they can seem less modest.
