A quotation from Moliere

DON LOUIS: No, no, birth is nothing where virtue is not. […] Know that a man of noble birth who leads an evil life is a monster in nature; virtue is the prime title of nobility; I care much less for the name a man signs than for the deeds he does; and I should feel more esteem for the son of a porter who was a true man, than for the son of a king who lived as you do.
 
[Non, non, la naissance n’est rien où la vertu n’est pas. […] Apprenez enfin qu’un gentilhomme qui vit mal est un monstre dans la nature ; que la vertu est le premier titre de noblesse ; que je regarde bien moins au nom qu’on signe, qu’aux actions qu’on fait, et que je ferais plus d’état du fils d’un crocheteur, qui serait honnête homme, que du fils d’un monarque qui vivrait comme vous.]

A quotation from Moliere

HENRIETTE: Heaven, that orders all with sovereign power,
   Forms us at birth for different uses, sister.
   Not every spirit, if it would, can furnish
   The stuff of which philosophers are made.
 
[Le ciel, dont nous voyons que l’ordre est tout-puissant,
Pour différents emplois nous fabrique en naissant ;
Et tout esprit n’est pas composé d’une étoffe
Qui se trouve taillée à faire un philosophe.]

Molière (1622-1673) French playwright, actor [stage name for Jean-Baptiste Poquelin]
Les Femmes Savantes [The Learned Ladies], Act 1, sc. 1, (1692) [tr. Page (1908)]

A quotation from Molière

My first reaction was to be afraid
This ardor was a snare the Devil had laid;
And I avoided you as a temptation
That might stand in the way of my salvation.
But finally I knew, O gracious beauty,
That passion need not be at odds with duty,
That I can reconcile it with propriety;
And so I yield to it without anxiety.
 
[D’abord j’appréhendai que cette ardeur secrète
Ne fût du noir esprit une surprise adroite;
Et même à fuir vos yeux mon cœur se résolut,
Vous croyant un obstacle à faire mon salut.
Mais enfin je connus, ô beauté tout aimable!
Que cette passion peut n’être point coupable,
Que je puis l’ajuster avecque la pudeur;
Et c’est ce qui m’y fait abandonner mon cœur.]

A proper love for earthly pulchritude.

A quotation from Moliere

CLÉANTE: Most men are strangely made; they always stray
   Out of the natural and proper way;
   Rejecting reason’s bounds as limitations,
   They range about amid their aberrations;
   Even the noblest things they often mar
   By forcing them and pushing them too far.
 
[Les hommes, la plupart, sont étrangement faits;
Dans la juste nature on ne les voit jamais:
La raison a pour eux des bornes trop petites,
En chaque caractère ils passent ses limites;
Et la plus noble chose, ils la gâtent souvent,
Pour la vouloir outrer et pousser trop avant.]

CLÉANTE:These are the arguments of all your kind:
   Since they can’t see, they think that no one ought;
   Whoever does, is tainted with free thought;
   Whoever balks at pious affectation
   Fails to hold piety in veneration.
   Come now, for all your talk, I’m not afraid;
   Heaven sees my heart, and I know what I’ve said.
 
[Voilà de vos pareils le discours ordinaire:
Ils veulent que chacun soit aveugle comme eux;
C’est être libertin que d’avoir de bons yeux;
Et qui n’adore pas de vaines simagrées
N’a ni respect ni foi pour les choses sacrées.
Allez, tous vos discours ne me font point de peur;
Je sais comme je parle, et le ciel voit mon cœur.]

CLÉANTE: And just as there is nothing I more revere
   Than a soul whose faith is steadfast and sincere,
   Nothing that I more cherish and admire

   So there is nothing that I find more base

[Et, comme je ne vois nul genre de héros
Qui soient plus à priser que les parfaits dévots,
Aucune chose au monde et plus noble et plus belle
Que la sainte ferveur d’un véritable zèle,
Aussi ne vois-je rien qui soit plus odieux
Que le dehors plâtré d’un zèle spécieux.]

Hypostatic Abstraction

The Care and Breeding of Abstract Objects

Hypostatic Abstraction is a formal operation on a subject–predicate form which preserves its information while introducing a new subject and upping the “arity” of its predicate.  To cite a notorious example, hypostatic abstraction turns “Opium is drowsifying” into “Opium has dormitive virtue”.

Introduction

Hypostatic abstraction is a formal operation which takes an element of information, as expressed in a proposition and conceives its information to consist in the relation between that subject and another subject, as expressed in the proposition   The existence of the abstract subject consists solely in the truth of those propositions containing the concrete predicate   Hypostatic abstraction is known under many names, for example, hypostasis, objectification, reification, and subjectal abstraction.  The object of discussion or thought thus introduced is termed a hypostatic object.

The above definition is adapted from the one given by Charles Sanders Peirce (CP 4.235, “The Simplest Mathematics” (1902), in Collected Papers, CP 4.227–323).

The way that Peirce describes it, the main thing about the formal operation of hypostatic abstraction, insofar as it can be observed to operate on formal linguistic expressions, is that it converts some part of a predicate into a number of additional subjects, at the same time creating a new predicate that tells how all of the subjects are related, at least, according to the information in the original proposition.

For example, a typical case of hypostatic abstraction occurs in the grammatical transformation which turns “honey is sweet” into “honey possesses sweetness”.  This transformation may be visualized in the following variety of ways.

The grammatical trace of the hypostatic transformation occurring in this case articulates a process that abstracts the adjective “sweet” from the main predicate “is sweet”, thus arriving at a new, increased-arity predicate “possesses”, and as a by-product of the reaction, as it were, precipitating out the substantive “sweetness” as a second subject of the new 2-place predicate, “possesses”.
