If there is one vice in Greek thought it is this: because they had the misfortune of being *first* in the culture of inquiry, they misinterpreted the silences in their own dialogues as a kind of resting point, akin to the rest of an Olympian athlete after the games. But in the history of thought, the scale of those silences have shrunk into caesurae or less. And now it becomes apparent that there is no resting point within the world of ideas, and that inquiry does not pierce-through to the end.
