What is said can be understood only when seen in the context of
what is not said. Many ancient and medieval philosophers use this
dynamic of presence and absence. Plato always recognizes that his
expressions are energized by being set before other people.
Aristotle's dialectic between different sorts of public activity
does the same. Anselm sees his writing as a test case for what it
says. Bonaventure approximates his distance from trinity by finding
its images at large. Aquinas makes legal norms approach the
flexibility of facts. Ockham's solution to holding goods without
owning them impresses English jural doctrine. Las Casas' refusal to
fix first nations' identity in deviant past activities hints at how
to rectify contacts with first peoples today. This book shows how
each author amplifies meaning in the distance between what he puts
into his work and what he leaves unsaid.
