If you can-
not pay at the time, you will be ashamed to see your creditor;
you will be in fear when you speak to him; you will make poor,
pitiful, sneaking excuses, and by degrees come to lose your ve-
racity and sink into base
downright
lying; for The second vice
is lying, the first is running in debt,' as Poor Richard says: and
again to the same purpose, Lying rides upon Debt's back;'
whereas a free-born Englishman ought not to be ashamed nor
afraid to see or speak to any man living.

For Marcus Cato, who was given the name Demosthenes, whenever he
delivered
his opinion in the senate always repeated that Carthage must be destroyed, even if the senate was debating some other, unrelated matter; but Publius Nasica was ever of the opposite opinion, that Carthage should be preserved, 4 Both of these opinions seemed to the senate to be worthy of consideration; but the most acute thinkers amongst them preferred the opinion of Nasica.

This same dialectic of positing the presuppositions plays a crucial role in our understanding of history:
[J]ust as we always posit the anteriority of a nameless ob- ject along with the name or idea we have just articulated, so also in the matter of histor- ical temporality we always posit the preexistence of a formless object which is the raw
material
of our emer- gent social or historical ar- ticulation.
