A fashionable milieu is one in which everybody's opinion is made up of the opinion of all the others. has everybody a different opinion? then it is a literary milieu.

Philosophical argument, trying to get someone to believe something whether he wants to believe it or not, is not, i have held, a nice way to behave towards someone; also it does not fit the original motivation for studying or entering philosophy. that motivation is puzzlement, curiousity, a desire to understand, not a desire to produce uniformity of belief. most people do not want to become thought-police. the philosophical goal of explanation rather than proof not only is morally better, it is more in accord with one's philosophical motivation.

The acts of the mind, wherein it exerts its power over simple ideas, are chiefly these three: 1. combining several simple ideas into one compound one, and thus all complex ideas are made. 2. the second is bringing two ideas, whether simple or complex, together, and setting them by one another so as to take a view of them at once, without uniting them into one, by which it gets all its ideas of relations. 3. the third is separating them from all other ideas that accompany them in their real existence: this is called abstraction, and thus all its general ideas are made.

If you hear a good idea, capture it; write it down. don't trust your memory. then on a cold wintry evening, go back through your journal, the ideas that changed your life, the ideas that saved your marriage, the ideas that bailed you out of bankruptcy, the ideas that helped you become successful, the ideas that made you millions. what a good review-going back over the collection of ideas that you gathered over the years. so be a collector of good ideas for your business, for your relationships, for your future.

The terminology of philosophical art is coercive: arguments are powerful and best when they are knockdown, arguments force you to a conclusion, if you believe the premisses you have to or must believe the conclusion, some arguments do not carry much punch, and so forth. a philosophical argument is an attempt to get someone to believe something, whether he wants to beleive it or not. a successful philosophical argument, a strong argument, forces someone to a belief.
