词条 | Aporime |
释义 |
An aporime is a problem difficult to resolve, and which has never been resolved, though it may not be, in itself, impossible. The word is derived from the Greek {{lang|grc|ἄπορον}}, which signifies something very difficult and impracticable, being formed from the privative α, and {{lang|grc|πόρος}}, "passage". When a question was proposed to any of the ancient Greek philosophers, especially of the sect of Academists, if he could not give a solution, his answer was {{lang|grc|ἀποροῶ}}, q.d. "I do not conceive it; I cannot see through it; I am not able to clear it up." See also
