on exterior, consequent or even extravagant grounds Explanation: or "from an exterior, consequent or even extravagant point of view". Subject can´t make his/her mind up, can´t make a decision on moral grounds, even if he/she lets him/herself be influenced or determined by a) objective/exterior reasons (alien to his/her own subjectivity), b) by logical consequences c) extravagant [like in irrational, that does not make sense] reasons. That´s the way I understand it in this context. Suerte Quim -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 9 mins (2005-05-24 10:00:08 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Since I do not know how you have translated the rest of the paragraph, it is then difficult to suggest a \"phrasing\" that fits. But I hope the idea helps. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 27 mins (2005-05-24 10:18:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- My explanation fits here with your other question and my comments. The so-called dogmatics find scepticism laughable, not just because it lacks any kind of moral responsibility, but because , at the end, the sceptic cannot even act (nor the opposite). It is the denial of action (moral, political, etc.). Sorry I keep adding notes. I´ll shut up now. |

1 hr confidence:
whether this action be discrepant in nature or consistent from an exterior point of view Explanation: The subject is restricted from putting his attitude into action. The part under scrutiny makes 2 qualifications about the action. Extravagante means its outlandish, out of sinc, incongruent with the attitude. Consecuente, being the opposite, consistent, congruent. The 2 ya seas are strategic, desde un punto exterior only refers to consecuente. So extravagante points to internal inconsistency between the attitude and the action, and consecuente points to a perceived congruency by an observer. HTH Good luck |

3 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1whether from a point outside himself and consequent to him or outside his boundaries.. Explanation: In logic...If A, then B follows..this is a term from logic...consquence..if A, then B is the consequence extravagant is wandering outside the boundaries..... the problem I would expect you have having is with the word subject....in some circles, subject is neither he nor she but it in others, it can be he or she... here's the thing: you have an interior and exterior..interioridad y exterioridad..which means you can either use geometry to topology..the point is there are lines and limits.... cheers |

6 hrs confidence:
from an external point of view that is consistent or strange. Explanation: inasmuch as things cannot be differentiated, election becomes impossible, since the equality in selecting “a” or “b” lies inside the subject that will not allow you to translate its attitude in any action, from an external point of view that is consistent or strange. From here on, the criticism from the dogmatic sector will be directed at the impossibility of acting on it. |
