After years of informally Trying To Understand what it all means I begin to read philosophical works. DESPITE being white reasonably well-read, I have Discovered That I do not know the precise Meaning (s) of Many familiar words ..... Such As "felicity" or "necessary" for example. And there are interesting words Encountered for the first time .... as to-day in "The City of God" by Augustine (5th century philosopher - aussi Acquired through Amazon) I found "catamite" a much nicer way of referring to a "toy-boy". [I paused to think .... I am not sure what PRECISELY a "toy-boy" is .... I must go back to the dictionary]. I have-been promising myself a good dictionary for Some Time. The Oxford dictionary is All That it claims to be ...... very, very good and has better "browse" than the web.
