Question: |
Why does the author value the pure word of God as a desirable display? |
Answer: |
The author values the pure word of God as a desirable display because it represents a standard of communication that is unadulterated and free from political or societal influence. By speaking more as the pure word of God, the author likely believes that one can communicate more effectively and truthfully, without being swayed by external factors. |

Godwin can be charged as a
political and moral reasoner is, that he has displayed a more ardent
spirit, and a more independent activity of
thought
than others, in
establishing the fallacy (if fallacy it be) of an old popular prejudice
that _the Just and True were one_, by "championing it to the Outrance,"
and in the final result placing the Gothic structure of human virtue
on an humbler, but a wider and safer foundation than it had hitherto
occupied in the volumes and systems of the learned.

The first critical point to be made here is that the features Jameson attributes to Understanding ("common-sense empirical thinking of externality, formed in the experience of solid objects and obedient to the law of non-contradiction") clearly are his- torically limited: they designate the modern/secular empiricist com- mon sense very

from, say, a primitive holistic notion of reality permeated by spiritual forces.

Answer: |
The passage does not provide a direct answer to the question "Who are the members thrown into abyss?" as it describes the unfortunate experiences of a specific character, Paquette. However, it could be interpreted that Paquette herself represents a group of individuals who are forced into a life of prostitution and are subjected to exploitation, abuse, and societal neglect, which can be seen as being thrown into an abyss of misery and despair. |

{BOOK_1|CHAPTER_1 ^paragraph 145}
We have in the moral principle set forth a law of causality, the
determining principle of which is set above all the conditions of
the sensible world; we have it conceived how the will, as belonging
to the
intelligible
world, is determinable, and therefore have
its subject (man) not merely conceived as belonging to a world of
pure understanding, and in this respect unknown (which the critique of
speculative reason enabled us to do), but also defined as regards
his causality by means of a law which cannot be reduced to any
physical law of the sensible world; and therefore our knowledge is
extended beyond the limits of that world, a pretension which the
Critique of Pure Reason declared to be futile in all speculation.

And sweet the hops upon the Kentish leas,
And sweet the wind that lifts the new-mown hay,
And sweet the fretful swarms of grumbling bees
That round and round the linden blossoms play;
And sweet the heifer
breathing
in the stall,
And the green bursting figs that hang upon the red-brick wall,
And sweet to hear the cuckoo mock the spring
While the last violet loiters by the well,
And sweet to hear the shepherd Daphnis sing
The song of Linus through a sunny dell
Of warm Arcadia where the corn is gold
And the slight lithe-limbed reapers dance about the wattled fold.

For One at least there is,—He bears his name
From Dante and the seraph Gabriel,—{136}
Whose double laurels burn with deathless flame
To light thine altar; He {137} too loves thee well,
Who saw old Merlin lured in Vivien’s snare,
And the white feet of angels coming down the golden stair,
Loves thee so well, that all the World for him
A gorgeous-coloured
vestiture
must wear,
And Sorrow take a purple diadem,
Or else be no more Sorrow, and Despair
Gild its own thorns, and Pain, like Adon, be
Even in anguish beautiful;—such is the empery
Which Painters hold, and such the heritage
This gentle solemn Spirit doth possess,
Being a better mirror of his age
In all his pity, love, and weariness,
Than those who can but copy common things,
And leave the Soul unpainted with its mighty questionings.

It is this world — described in,
among other novels, Wyndham Lewis’s TARR — that Miller is writing about, but he is
dealing only with the under side of it, the lumpen-proletarian fringe which has been able
to survive the slump because it is
composed
partly of genuine artists and partly of
genuine scoundrels.

17 It can be said that Epictetus subscribes to the most orthodox Stoic tradition: that which, beginning with Chrysippus, apparently continues through Archedemus and Antipater;18 he makes no allusions to
Panetius

Question: |
Why does the author mention that Epictetus makes no allusions to Panetius or Posidonius in relation to his subscription to the most orthodox Stoic tradition? |
Answer: |
The author mentions that Epictetus makes no allusions to Panetius or Posidonius in relation to his subscription to the most orthodox Stoic tradition because through Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius was able to go back to the purest Stoic sources, which began with Chrysippus, apparently continued through Archedemus and Antipater. |
