John Quincy Adams Modern Reader

virtue. Such is the case of the virtue of the
character Desdemona, from the play The Tragedy of
Othello, by William Shakespeare. Desdemona was

claim that, as he knows his mind and knows clearly

his mind and body as existing separately. By the

About Nothing Noting, or observing, is

to signal the importance of observation, spying
and eavesdropping in the play. As a plot device,
these occurrences propel the action and create
humour and tension. The perils of noting
incorrectly are port...

those that follow. Here Descartes discerns between
mere opinion and strict absolute certainty. To

evolution, it is assumed that at a certain point
he began to ponder the world around him. Of
course, these first attempts fell short of being
scholarly. As time passed on, though, these ideas
persisted and were eventually tackled by the more

authoritarianism of the ancients gave way to the
more liberal views of the modernists, two main
