NOTEBOOK EXTRACTS. FROM THE NOTEBOOKS: Extracts NOTEBOOK I 1943 [at New College, Oxford] Man's ability to form judgements and increase his knowledge is one entirely undetermined by his own will but rather controlled by sets of fortuitous circumstances. Any increase in knowledge or any combination of ideas , is purely fortuitous though the existence of ideas in the mind implies their combination. So that knowledge is not to be dissociated from experience. Any knowledge independent of experience is impossible and since it is governed completely by the means by which it is attained, it cannot have the nature of what I imagine true knowledge to mean.

The Categories by Aristotle - Read Online. Logos Virtual Library: Aristotle: Topics, VII, 5. Aristotle (384-322 BC) Topics Translated by W. A. Pickard-Cambridge Book VII Chapter 5 That it is more difficult to establish than to overthrow a definition, is obvious from considerations presently to be urged. Further, even supposing it should be necessary to overthrow something by a universal proposition, not even so is there any need to prove the converse of the proposition in the process of overthrowing the definition. The case stands likewise in regard to the property and genus of a term also. In the case of an accidental attribute the universal proposition is easier to overthrow than to establish; for to establish it, one has to show that it belongs in every case, whereas to overthrow it, it is enough to show that it does not belong in one single case.
It is clear also that the easiest thing of all is to overthrow a definition. Word saucery | writing and being. Literary Terms and Definitions A.

A POSTERIORI: In rhetoric, logic, and philosophy, a belief or proposition is said to be a posteriori if it can only be determined through observation (Palmer 381). In general, these are inductive arguments in which the thinker puts forth a belief or proposition as a universal rule she or he puts forth in response to an example seen in nature--the specific observed example comes first, and the logical argument follows on a universal level later.

Sanskrit is the classical language of Indian and the liturgical language of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism.
It is also one of the 22 official languages of India. The name Sanskrit means "refined", "consecrated" and "sanctified".

Though the definition of an "English" word might seem to be straightforward, it is not.
There exist so many adopted, derivative, archaic or abandoned words in what we loosely define as the "English Language", that a clear-cut definition seems impossible. For the purposes of this project though, words are included that may stretch any basic definitions. Particular attention has been paid to archaic words, as they tend to be more evocative - as if their very age lends additional meaning or overtones. (To build your own links to words, simply link to the page they are on, and add an anchor to the URL with the word, like this: ) The letters in the menu above link to separate pages with words listed in alphabetical order.

Then they stripped off their serviceable knickerbockers and blouses, and bathed, glowing with high-minded morality, quite naked. Refreshed, they sat down to a healthy picnic of whole-meal bread, raw carrots, fruit, and nuts. They sang a few glees, mounted their bicycles , and full of virtue, pedaled back to the ferry for New York.
