What were Emerson's dangerous doctrines? |

The dangerous doctrines that Emerson's Address to the Senior Class at the Divinity School brought out were the denial of personality to God, which was seen as a heresy and brought severe strictures and warnings even from friendly Unitarians. Emerson sought to elevate the idea of God but his teachings still caused pain and shock. |

| Guess: |

| Question: |
Why did early Buddhists feel the need to uphold the superiority of their own teacher and his doctrine when faced with specific rival claims to omniscience? |
| Answer: |
Early Buddhists felt the need to uphold the superiority of their own teacher and his doctrine when faced with specific rival claims to omniscience in order to assert their own authority and defend their beliefs against competing schools of thought. However, Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism, himself was uncomfortable with claims of omniscience and focused on practical, real-world experience. Later beliefs in Buddha's omniscience developed through attributed statements after his death, but even then the concept did not extend beyond ordinary knowledge. |

Even when we sleep we watch over each other
Donkey or cow,

I looked in front of me
If I speak it's to hear you more clearly
We two take each other by the hand
At dawn I love you I've the whole night in my veins
She looks into me

And, shut within a room, yet still we seem

Especially after the vanishing of the so-called socialist alternative, capi- talism confronts today's players and critics with a high
standard

| Guess: |
Degree |
| Question: |
Why did the disappearance of the socialist alternative increase the seriousness with which players and critics approach capitalism? |
| Answer: |
The disappearance of the socialist alternative increased the seriousness with which players and critics approach capitalism because it now confronts individuals with a high standard of seriousness in terms of its growth model and the expectations placed on its actors. The future of capitalism is not as promising as its boosters claim, and the term "sustainability" is seen as a neurotic symptom of the self-doubt of the status quo. With the disappearance of a socialist alternative, there is now a heightened sense of awareness around the limitations and incompatibilities within the system. |

Let Phaedra not gather what we leave behind
Nor chase us both from an

crown,
Nor promise our spoils to a son of her own.

_Oui, Comedie Francaise_
Nay, nay, sweet England, do not grieve
Near where the royal victims fell
No Man's Land is an eerie sight
No more old England will they see
Not long did we lie on the torn, red field of pain
Not since Wren's Dome has whispered with man's prayer
Not with her ruined silver spires
Now is the
midnight
of the nations: dark
Now lamp-lit gardens in the blue dusk shine
Now slowly sinks the day-long labouring sun
Now spake the Emperor to all his shining battle forces
O gracious ones, we bless your name
O living pictures of the dead
O race that Caesar knew
Of all my dreams by night and day
Often I think of you, Jimmy Doane
Oh, down by the Millwall Basin as I went the other day
Oh, red is the English rose
Oh!

and a smothered smoulderingness of
disposition
seldom roused to open
flame?

Thus Baby Charles, and the Twelfth-night Queen of Hearts, and
the overgrown
schoolboy
Cottington, and that little urchin Laud--who
would reduce a verdict of 'guilty, death,' by famine, if it were
impregnable by composition--all impannelled against poor Archy for
presenting them bitter physic the last day of the holidays.
