First sentence: THERE is no more thankless task than trying rationally to distinguish and to circumscribe-in other words, trying to raise to a scientific or philosophical level-common notions that have arisen from the contingent practical needs of human history and are laden with social, cultural, and historical connotations as ambiguous as they are fertile, and which nevertheless envelop a core of intelligible meaning.
