Abstract

“But if anyone, seeing all these difficulties, should refuse to grant that there are forms of things or should not define a form for each one, he will have nowhere to direct his thought, not granting that there is a form of each thing which is always the same; and thus he will completely destroy the power of philosophic argument.”
