“The Mutakallemim... apply the term non-existence only to absolute non-existence, and not to absence of properties. A property and the absence of that property are considered by them as two opposites, they treat, e.g. , blindness and sight, death and life, in the same way as heat and cold. Therefore they say, without any qualification, non-existence does not require any agent, an agent is required when something is produced.” WayDoeTwoTermExistenceColdOppositesTreatsSightAbsolutesPropertyAbsenceAgentsHeatLife And DeathBlindnessQualificationsNon ExistenceTwo OppositesHeat And Cold Book:Guide for the perplexed Source: Guide for the perplexed
“Ownership by delegation is a contradiction in terms. When men say, for instance (by a false metaphor), that each member of the public should feel himself an owner of public property-such as a Town Park-and should therefore respect it as his own, they are saying something which all our experience proves to be completely false. No man feels of public property that it is his own; no man will treat it with the care of the affection of a thing which is his own.” MenFeelsShouldCarePoliticsTermEconomyProveMembersTreatsTownsPropertyMetaphorAffectionInstanceParksLiberalismContradictionOwnersOwnershipDelegation Book:An Essay on the Restoration of Property Source: An Essay on the Restoration of Property

“One can make this generalization about men: they are ungrateful, fickle, liars, and deceivers, they shun danger and are greedy for profit; while you treat them well, they are yours. They would shed their blood for you, risk their property, their lives, their children, so long, as I said above, as danger is remote; but when you are in danger they turn against you.” MenWellsChildrenLongSaidTurnsRiskBloodDangerTreatsPropertyProfitLiarsShedGreedyUngratefulFickleGeneralizationDeceiver Author:Niccolo Machiavelli
