One must let the arguement take its course.
One will say that Poetry is to the ends of beauty
While Philosophy is to the ends of wisdom.
These are fine conclusions.
And then we must adress it on those terms-
Which is superior the true, or the beautiful.
Then when one states that philosophy
Is the pursuit of wisdom and the most lofty,
Venerable pursuit, it must be addressed in those terms.
I allow the participants to define the
Premises to an extent.
