274 Intro|         of all things, although I admit that one man may be a thousand
275 Intro|           to speak truly, he must admit that he himself does not
276 Intro|          opponents will refuse to admit this of themselves, and
277 Intro|            And even if we were to admit further,—and this is the
278 Intro|           therefore, compelled to admit that he is a measure; but
279 Intro|           and is not unwilling to admit that both states and individuals
280 Intro|          I never said, nor will I admit that my common-sense account
281 Intro|     consider acts of sense. These admit of various degrees of duration
282 Intro|       duration or intensity; they admit also of a greater or less
283 Intro|    example, we are disinclined to admit of the spontaneity or discontinuity
284 Intro|           complete which does not admit the reality or the possibility
285 Intro|      domain of Psychology.~IV. We admit that there is no perfect
286 Text |          would be wrong for me to admit falsehood, or to stifle
287 Text |     similar contradictions, if we admit them at all. I believe that
288 Text |       whether you are disposed to admit of probability and figures
289 Text |           SOCRATES: And you would admit that there is such a thing
290 Text |        suppose that any one would admit the memory which a man has
291 Text |        became unlike? Or would he admit that a man is one at all,
292 Text |        and individual, or, if you admit them to be so, prove that

295 Text |         your master, that he must admit one man to be wiser than
296 Text |           SOCRATES: And you would admit that what you perceive through
297 Text |         the first place you would admit that they both exist?~THEAETETUS:
298 Text |       driven in our perplexity to admit the absurd consequences
299 Text |         SOCRATES: Then now we may admit the existence of false opinion
300 Text |        the argument will scarcely admit of both. But, as we are
301 Text |        clearer by an example:—You admit that there is an art of

306 Intro|       Plato seems more willing to admit of the unreality of time
307 Intro|           of circulation does not admit of a vacuum, as he tells
308 Intro|       them, fire, air, and water, admit of transformation into one
309 Intro|        circling universe. We must admit, further, (3) that Aristotle
310 Intro|       tells us that smells do not admit of kinds. He seems to think
311 Intro|            or whether we must not admit of tendencies and marks
312 Intro|           natural forces, we must admit that there are many things
313 Intro|         them. It is safer then to admit the inconsistencies of the
314 Intro|          nor from without does it admit of destruction’ (Tim). He
315 Text |         faculty of smell does not admit of differences of kind;
316 Text |        the nose are too narrow to admit earth and water, and too
