Criticism as it was ordsprog

Criticism, as it was first instituted by Aristotle, was meant as a standard of judging well; the chiefest part of which is to observe those excellencies which delight a reasonable reader

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

Intellectual pursuits are more well-rounded when people have arts as a means to observe as well. Part of learning has a lot to do with delight.

The FISA 'probable cause' standard is essentially the same as the 'reasonable basis' standard used in the terrorist surveillance program. The 'reasonable suspicion' standard, which is lower than both of these, is not used in either program.

This is not meant to be a criticism of the Kane County Transportation Division, but it is, however, meant to be a criticism of the state. The state has been dragging its feet on this.

This inescapable duty to observe oneself: if someone else is observing me, naturally I have to observe myself too; if none observe me, I have to observe myself all the closer

The constitutional standard is reasonable. ... I am convinced that we are lawful because what it is we are doing is reasonable.

Aristotle could have avoided the mistake of thinking that women have fewer teeth than men, by the simple device of asking Mrs. Aristotle to keep her mouth open while he counted.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970)

Bertrand Russell

That form is very freeing, ... She felt instantly comfortable around him, captivated by his relaxed and pe𝗑y energy. It's a great relief for the novelist not to have to be there in the way a third-person narrator implies. If you get rid of all that -- that judging entity -- you just leave the character alone with the reader.

Julian Barnes (1946-)

Julian Barnes

For my own part I think no innocent species of wit or pleasantry should be suppressed: and that a good pun may be admitted among the smaller excellencies of lively conversation.

James Boswell (1740-1795)

James Boswell

Negligence is much easier to prove; it's the failure to exercise reasonable care. Willful misconduct is a much higher standard. You must intentionally misbehave. ... The high standard would clearly discourage many suits.

[If there is any blame for losing Aristotle, it belongs to Greek philosophy itself, not to the Christianity Freeman blames.] In the course of a few centuries ... simply dispersed, allowing Aristotle's works to fall into an undeserved neglect.

. . . [today] we accept, indeed regard as a platitude, an idea that Aristotle rejected, that someone can have one virtue while lacking others . For Aristotle, as for Socrates, practical reason required the dispositions of action and feeling to be harmonized; if any disposition was properly to count as a virtue, it had to be part of a rational structure that included all the virtues. This is quite different from our assumption [in the modern world] that these kinds of virtuous disposition are enough like other psychological characteristics to explain how one person can, so to speak, do better in one area than another. . . . [today] we do not believe in the unity of the virtues.
