It's unnecessarily convoluted but correct, eg "accept the loner [as] a mentally sound individual" is a legitimate construction and "[K]now man" is a pun. Philo

It's unnecessarily convoluted but correct, eg "accept the loner [as] a mentally sound individual" is a legitimate construction and "[K]now man" is a pun.
Philosophers tend to write this way. It's just that it's not punchy and to-the-point, like business writing or advertising.
- Locke1689 16y agoKnow man is obviously a pun but there should be an as or a comma after loner. I'm a philosophy minor so I understand flowery language but I don't accept it when it confuses the point. Hume managed to be quite intelligible despite living hundreds of years ago.
