3. An Officer who Learnt a Lesson
In the American War of Independence, an officer and a group of
soldiers were raising a heavy tree from the ground. Тhey needed it
for a battery. There were not enough soldiers for the work; but
the officer didn’t do anything; he only shouted orders. Suddenly another
older officer, not in uniform, rode up on his horse.
“Hullo!” he cried to the officer of the group, “Why don’t you help your
men to lift that tree?” “Can’t you see that I am an officer?” was the reply.
“Oh, you are, are you?” said the older officer, who then came down
from his horse and joined the men. He worked till drops of sweat covered
his face. When they finished the job and put the tree in its place, the older
man turned to the younger officer and bowed. “Good-bye, sir. Next
time when you do not have enough men for this sort of work, invite
the Commander-in-Chief. I shall be happy to help you again.”
It was Washington himself, the Commander-in-Chief of the army

Exercise 42.
With the help of the texts given, or on any other text
chosen, prove the interrelation of the categories of space and time.
The problem of differentiating
between the types of locality
Different scientists distinguish different types of locality. The following
oppositions, beside the aforementioned, can be found:
– anthropocentric space/non-anthropocentric (e. g. nature-centric
or sociocentric) space;
– detailed/non-detailed space (empty or filled with some objects);
– continuous/discontinuous space;
– closed/opened space;
– horizontal/vertical space;
– circle/square/other shape of some spatial capacity.
The first five oppositions are rather binary (privative), whereas in
the last case we observe an equipollent opposition. The same equipollent
opposition containing more than two members is found in Prof.
