the kings story
what your trying to prove is a thing is perfect because it has a purpose
breads purpose is sustance and the waters is hydration
The example
bread and water are perfect for a prisoner = t
bread and water are perfect for a king = f
so as exampled what your trying to prove a thing is perfect because it has a purpose = F
This examply describes a standard of perfection which is what he is describing but its not the defintion hes using.
Look there is two kinds of perfection one is that a thing is what it is a pen "is" a pen, whether or not it works, it is a pen. Ergo it can be nothing else there for it is perfect, ie nothing ditractes from making it a pen nothing adds to it to make it more then a pen. Now lets take it a step further pen also has a purpose which is to write once you asgin a purpose to it you then autmaticaly asign it a standard ie it to be perfect it must be a pen but it also must write. Perfection in this case, and as it relates to the subject would be: this is THE perfect pen, it is unequaled amongst its peers. Can this truly be determened? |
