Dylan’s accusation has reverberated in the media ever since. Dylan would consistently repeat the allegation over the years—to her mother, to therapists, to experts, and to former Connecticut state prosecutor Frank Maco, who found probable cause for bringing a criminal case against Allen. (Maco said he ultimately declined to do so out of concern for retraumatizing a fragile child.)
ellauri096.html on line 199: Several commentators on the surprise test paradox object that interpreting surprise as unprovability changes the topic. Instead of posing the surprise test paradox, it poses a variation of the liar paradox. Other concepts can be blended with the liar. For instance, mixing in alethic notions generates the possible liar: Is ‘This statement is possibly false’ true? (Post 1970) (If it is false, then it is false that it is possibly false. What cannot possibly be false is necessarily true. But if it is necessarily true, then it cannot be possibly false.) Since the semantic concept of validity involves the notion of possibility, one can also derive validity liars such as Pseudo-Scotus’ paradox: ‘Squares are squares, therefore, this argument is invalid’ (Read 1979). Suppose Pseudo-Scotus’ argument is valid. Since the premise is necessarily true, the conclusion would be necessarily true. But the conclusion contradicts the supposition that argument is valid. Therefore, by reductio, the argument is necessarily invalid. Wait! The argument can be invalid only if it is possible for the premise to be true and the conclusion to be false. But we have already proved that the conclusion of ‘Squares are squares, therefore, this argument is invalid’ is necessarily true. There is no consistent judgment of the argument’s validity. A similar predicament follows from ‘The test is on Friday but this prediction cannot be soundly deduced from this announcement’.

It may well have been that, at such an hour and in such a spot, the most celebrated expression in the entire body of his writings was suggested to him by so extraordinary an interfusion of Nature’s beauty with the beauty of art in one of its loveliest forms.

xxx/ellauri486.html on line 378: He made the soul from the following constituents and in this manner. From being that is undivided and ever the same, and being which, by contrast, comes into existence apportioned to bodies, he formed a third intermediate form of being from both of them. From the nature of same and other, in like manner, he made a third intermediate form between their undivided form and their form as apportioned to bodies. He then took these three mixtures and mixed them all into one, and as the nature of other was difficult to mix, he blended it with same by force. Then, having mixed this, with the help of Being, and made one from the three, he apportioned this whole once more into as many parts as was fitting, each part being a mixture of same, other and being. He began to divide it as follows. First, he separated one part from the entire; after this he separated a part double the first; and next a third, which was one-and-a-half times the second and three times the first; a fourth part, double the second; a fifth, three times the third; a sixth, eight times the first; and a seventh, twenty-seven times the first.
