OK, I don't see that in the YouTube description of Ch11 as linked. I am not sure that from the beginning of the book, the TCC itself right through to ...

:sad: There has to be a song there somewhere...

Sorry, I didn't catch that. Where did you find this ?

I think that is the best way to go about this. First, read and think for yourself before looking to others. How wise are you ?! I don't always do that...

So, talking about translations... And I was looking at the repeated patterns, noting Ivanhoe referred to Ch 51, Part 2 of the TTC. Came across this: '...

You're welcome. Thanks for your inspiration :smile:

Yes, I too think it important to recognise the repeated themes throughout the TTC. This serves as a teaching or learning aid - to ram the message home...

Why ? To both.

Many thanks to both. Let's see if I can do it... https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/516439 Yay :cool:

Q: How do you create a link to a particular comment in another thread ? A: Dunno :chin: Help ?!
