Number of Words: 1054 / Number of Pages: 4
... we grasp the universal through our encounter with the particular. What follows is a series of events which leads to knowledge.

without giving them a chance. Odys ...

The hunger artist at any time can just give in and open his cage to live a relatively normal life. The only problem why he cannot do that is that he is a slave to his art. And in anoth ...
