From How do bucks shed their antlers. The soote season that bud and bloom forth brings. With green hath clad the hill and eke the vale. The nightingale with feathers new she sings;. The turtle to her make hath told her tale. Summer is come, for every spray now springs;. The hart hath hung his old head on the pale;. A City in Speech.

Steps in a Peregrine Rainscape. A great while ago the world begun . . . with hey, ho the wind and the rain! June 21, 2014. Humility, a chapter from “The Four Cardinal Virtues,” Josef Pieper. One of the Goods in which man naturally seeks fulfillment of his being is. What is meant by high-mindedness or magnanimity? One marvels to learn that this description of high-mindedness is drawn, trait by trait, in the Summa Theologica. Of Aquinas. This needed to be made clear. For in the treatise on humility...The c...

Burnt Norton, part 2 [i]. Thus we have quickly traversed the first section of this division of "Burnt Norton." Next comes the section that begins "at the still point of the turning world," which (as I indicated above) I take to be a commentary upon specifically upon the phrase "reconciled among the stars." More generally, it is a commentary upon the entire preceding section, but it specifically concerns itself with the essential nature of the reconciliation. Burnt Norton, part 1. The voice "do[es] not kn...

1 Rather than thinking that the Ideas are questionable, perhaps we should instead learn to understand how the Ideas call us into question. 2 What is most hidden away is one's own face. 3 Dialectic is the mirror of the soul. 4 We think in images, but the ideas are not images- not exactly. But when we come face-to-face with the ideal, we can only speak of it in images. This is the origin of all poetry. 7 Nothing lasts forever. And not an appearance to. Political documents from the ancient and medieval worl...

A City in Speech: Why space does not exist [1]
http://acityinspeech.blogspot.com/2010/07/why-space-does-not-exist-1.html
Why space does not exist [1]. It is a great (and highly practical) illusion that something called space exists. This is not a mystical utterance (at least not in the typical sense of mystical); it is meant quite literally. For context, I would recommend the series of posts beginning. We can divide these meanings into the following definitions:. 1) The area surrounding an object that is, in some sense, part of the object. 2) The purported vacuum that composes most of the universe. The fourth underlies all...

A City in Speech: Option pricing
http://acityinspeech.blogspot.com/2010/06/option-pricing.html
The Nobel prize-winning Black-Scholes option pricing formula is generally advanced by financial academics as the best possible way to value options. This may be true, but that doesn't mean it is any good. It is further worth noting that the formula (often used for dynamic hedging) models security prices as follows:. DS = mSdt sSdW. The problem here is that stock prices generally. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Heidegger Contra Transhumanism Part 1: Dasein, not Mensch. View my complete profile.

A City in Speech: Marginalia
http://acityinspeech.blogspot.com/2010/07/marginalia.html
Idea means—what something looks like. Appearances are never deceiving, insofar as an appearance is an appearance of. And not an appearance to. But this is out of balance. If the difference between appearance and essence is a function of perception, then we end up with Hegel and Nietzsche and oblivion. The difference that appears between appearance and reality must belong in some way both to perception and appearance. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Why space does not exist [1].
