What would this blog be without Roland the brains and Chris the spirit who always writes acid comments.
Now, Roland the brains accused the spirit of committing the worst of all crimes: lack of wit. I disagree.
Chris cannot find the “ars construendi vexilla” in his native tongue.
Why should he?
The concept of “ars construendi vexilla” is easy to describe:
If more than one person, that is a minimum of two, discuss something, you have to make sure they are on one level.
And when I say discussion, I do not mean just talking. Let it be clear that we are talking really important issues, rather than whether or not the German soccer team might suffice as world champion. I am talking issues like:
Life, death, God, justice, freedom, the price of beer.
Rupert Lay took this self-evident concept and miraculously structured an entire evening of philosophy lectures crowned by a nice syllogism around it. That is a technique drawing the right conclusions from the wrong premise.
All that remains is desertion.
Dear Chris, please remain the person you are, even if you are closer to the “ars construendi vexilla” than you think.
