indeed demand that even this shall be demonstrated, but this they do through want of education,Kobiety Barbour Liddesdale Kurtka, for not to know of what things one should demand demonstration, and of what one should not,Ralph Lauren Strip Polo, argues want of education. For it is impossible that there should be demonstration of absolutely everything (there would be an infinite regress, so that there would still be no demonstration); but if there are things of which one should not demand demonstration, these persons could not say what principle they maintain to be more self-evident than the present one.
We can, however, demonstrate negatively even that this view is impossible, if our opponent will only say something; and if he says nothing, it is absurd to seek to give an account of our views to one who cannot give an account of anything, in so far as he cannot do so. For such a man, as such, is from the start no better than a vegetable. Now negative demonstration I distinguish from demonstration proper, because in a demonstration one might be thought to be begging the question, but if another person is responsible for the assumption we shall have negative proof, not demonstration. The starting-point for all such arguments is not the demand that our opponent shall say that something either is or is not (for this one might perhaps take to be a begging of the question),CG Dame Hybridge Hoody Jakke, but that he shall say something which is significant both for himself and for another; for this is necessary, if he really is to say anything. For,USA Pas Cher, if he means nothing,Canada Goose Langford Parka, such a man will not be capable of reasoning,PJS Dameklær Harraseeket Strøk, either with himself or with another. But if any one grants this, demonstration will be possible; for we shall already have something definite. The person responsible for the proof,Parajumpers Mężczyźni Gobi, however, is not he who demonstrates but he who listens; for while disowning reason he listens to reason. And again he who admits this has admitted that something is true apart from demonstration (so that not everything will be ‘so and not so’).
First then this at least is obviously true,Belstaff New Panther Jackor, that the word ‘be’ or ‘not be’ has a definite meaning,Maillot Alaba Pas Cher, so that not everything will be ‘so and not so’. Again,Ralph Lauren Polo Stad, if ‘man’ has one meaning,PJS Dameklær Harraseeket Strøk Norge Salg, let this be ‘two-footed animal’; by having one meaning I understand this:-if ‘man’ means ‘X’, then if A is a man ‘X’ will be what ‘being a man’ means for him. (It makes no difference even if one were to say a word has several meanings, if only they are limited in number; for to each definition there might be assigned a different word. For instance, we might say that ‘man’ has not one meaning but several, one of which would have one definition, viz. ‘two-footed animal’, while there might be also several other definitions if only they were limited in number; for a peculiar name might be assigned to each of the definitions. If,Hanoverian, however, they were not limited but one were to say that the word has an infinite number of meanings, obviously reasoning would be impossible; for not to have one meaning is to have no meaning, and if words have no meaning our reaso
