The following sections all are
extensive series of files interconnected by
clickable arrows that contain the full texts of
classics plus my comments, in most but not
all cases.
My comments are usually about equally
long as the texts they comment on and are a - new -
way of using html in the discussion of philosophy:
one can link in the text of the originals to one's
comments and in the comments link back to text one
comments on. This is the general procedure I
followed, with some exceptions, where the original
texts or an excerpt of it are interspersed with my
comments.
