philosophia est scio nihil, continuum timor et taedium ego: actus automaton: in excelsis hospes.
in england the ad hominem principle is easily brushed aside, someone might have something interesting to say, even though all would agree to an abhorrence in terms of moral relativism which is an abhorrence-in-itself, why make anything apart from space & time relative? people change, get with the grooves and your free will and your freedom to commit mistakes... in england the ad hominem principle is a farce... it doesn't exist... that's why the english can't philosophise, they can sing, but they can't philosophise, because instead of ad hominem we have the principle *ad populo, yeah, i'm an apologist of heidegger, it took me 2 years and several other books in between to finish his being and time, because i believed he was onto something, and the argument against him on the principles of ad hominem is deflected toward argumentation ad zeitgeist, yet in england engaging with controversy of the times is curbed and censored by the principle ad populo, i.e.: to the people.
