these things in the full sense,Ženy Barbour Arctic Down Parka, there is a proof which may suffice against one who will make these suppositions. And perhaps if one had questioned Heraclitus himself in this way one might have forced him to confess that opposite statements can never be true of the same subjects. But, as it is, he adopted this opinion without understanding what his statement involves. But in any case if what is said by him is true,Moncler Makori, not even this itself will be true-viz. that the same thing can at one and the same time both be and not be. For as,Moncler Bulgarie, when the statements are separated, the affirmation is no more true than the negation,Grace Polarquilt Bunda, in the same way-the combined and complex statement being like a single affirmation-the whole taken as an affirmation will be no more true than the negation. Further,CG Menn Woolford Strøk, if it is not possible to affirm anything truly,Buckle Mini Czyścibut 1058, this itself will be false-the assertion that there is no true affirmation. But if a true affirmation exists,Fotballdrakter, this appears to refute what is said by those who raise such objections and utterly destroy rational discourse.
Book XI Chapter 6
The saying of Protagoras is like the views we have mentioned; he said that man is the measure of all things, meaning simply that that which seems to each man also assuredly is. If this is so, it follows that the same thing both is and is not,De Bruyne Drakt, and is bad and good, and that the contents of all other opposite statements are true, because often a particular thing appears beautiful to some and the contrary of beautiful to others,Frankrikesco Totti Drakt, and that which appears to each man is the measure. This difficulty may be solved by considering the source of this opinion. It seems to have arisen in some cases from the doctrine of the natural philosophers, and in others from the fact that all men have not the same views about the same things, but a particular thing appears pleasant to some and the contrary of pleasant to others.
That nothing comes to be out of that which is not,Dame Moncler Makori, but everything out of that which is, is a dogma common to nearly all the natural philosophers. Since,Rugby Drakt, then, white cannot come to be if the perfectly white and in no respect not-white existed before, that which becomes white must come from that which is not white; so that it must come to be out of that which is not (so they argue), unless the same thing was at the beginning white and not-white. But it is not hard to solve this difficulty; for we have said in our works on physics in what sense things that come to be come to be from that which is not, and in what sense from that which is.
But to attend equally to the opinions and the fancies of disputing parties is childish; for clearly one of them must be mistaken. And this is evident from what happens in respect of sensation; for the same thing never appears sweet to some and the contrary of sweet to others, unless in the one case the sense-organ which discriminates the aforesaid flavours has been perverted and injured. And if this is so the one party must be taken to be the measure, and the other must not. And say the same of good and bad,CG Menn Langford Parka, and beautiful and ug
