No. 239. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1711. (pag. 267)

The universities of Europe, for many years, carried on their debates by syllogism, insomuch that we see the knowledge of several centuries laid out into objections and answers, and all the good sense of the age cut and minced into almost an infinitude of distinctions.

When our universities found there was no end of wrangling this way, they invented a kind of argument, which is not reducible to any mood or figure in Aristotle. It was called the Argumentum Basilinum (others write it Bacilinum or Baculinum), which is pretty well expressed in our English word club‑law. When they were not able to refute their antagonist, they knocked him down.

Verjaardagscadeau van een onbekende

Corpus Sadhana

I give thanks to my body and I praise my body.

Body that aches, body that breaks,

adorned with the Samsaric jewels.

Unto this body, not enemy, but auspicious

companion,

cherished vessel of this one rare human

experience,

I give now offerings of loving kindness,

equanimity, fearsome resolve:

May I perpetuate this practice of praise

for my body (faltering, petulant soma, yes)

as it in turn strives and gives life unceasingly

til death does ask our clasped hands apart.

I give thanks to my body and I praise my body.

Body that bears, body that wears,

earthen cage, aching temple, precious gift.

Op deze dag, een persoonlijke mijlpaal, post ik een prachtige tekst die ik een paar dagen geleden aantrof op Reddit, van gebruiker Ambitious_Put2775.
