#Ducere
Is any man free except the one who can pass his life as he pleases?

[Lat., An quisquam est alius liber, nisi ducere vitam Cui licet, ut voluit?]

I had no idea 'reduce' used to just mean 'bring to baseline.' Funny that we essentially decided baseline is always lesser.

Mihi lineam ducere potes?

But now I still have questions. The terms "deduction" and "induction" come from Cicero's translations of Aristotle. The etymology (literal meaning) of de-ducere is easy to understand. But what is in-ducere? And then, what is ad-ducere (in Pacio, I suppose)? Are these systematically connected?

Since abduction was mentioned.. Can anybody give an account of the etymology (literal meaning) of the term? The term was coined by Peirce; there was no previous use of the term in the history of philosophy/science, right? "Ducere" is easy, but does Peirce explain what the function of "ad" is here?

Bonne nouvelle ! Heureux fils, heureuse phase d'autonomie en mouvement.
En étant sûr de ses appuis, il vérifie la vision des anciens pour qui "ex ducere" signifie 'conduire dehors', pour un futur adulte bien accompagné car ainsi bien éduqué 👍

De ahí que la labor de los progenitores sea la de educar (lat. educare, "criar") y la de los maestros sea la de educar (lat. educare/ex ducere, "guiar") y enseñar (lat. insignare, "mostrar el camino").

Chacun son rôle, bien répartis. Là, c'est nickel.

Éducation ⬅️ Ex ducere (conduire dehors)

En effet, les exemples que j'ai pu voir montrent une mère qui réclame une exclusivité, une fidélité aliénante, dans la psyché du bébé.
Soit elles recadrent l'enfant qui doit grandir ("ex ducere" : conduire dehors). Soit leurs traumas préfèrent l'aliéner. Et là, c'est l'histoire du grand-père.

Elle est trop forte en latin (en plus de plein d'autres trucs). Bicoze "Éducation" vient de "Ex Ducere" qui veut dire Conduire dehors. Donc c'est toi qui est trop fort en fait aussi à la base.
Depuis le temps qu'on te dit, et que tu nous dis qu'elle est magique ta fille 🙌

Une mère sécure intime à son fils d'aller voir ailleurs. En dehors d'elle.
Aller ailleurs : « Ex ducere » cad « conduire hors » est l'étymologie de « Éduquer ». Va voir ailleurs si j'y suis...

Some "con-" prefixes (also "co-" and "com-" prefixes) come from the Latin word "cum", meaning "with". "Conductivity" uses "con-" in this sense.

Other "con-" prefixes which mean the opposite of "pro-" come from Latin word "contra".

(btw "duct" comes from "ducere", "to lead"--like a noble duke)

rhētor hīs nōn nōscitur; indolēs sed
quisque parvās dūcere avēs parāta est
ēque nīdīs inque chorōs suprēmōs.

mīror ut nunc sēsē habeant magistrī
fōrmulīs et cum numerīs vetustīs--
sī essem avis, sīc, sīc canerem, tenellus
artis et expers.

A quotation from **Horace**

> Gold will be slave or master: ’tis more fit

💡 Etymologically, there is a deep connection between education and leadership: the word education stems from the Latin “e-ducere,” meaning “to lead out.” Education, like leadership, is thus a process of guiding transformation — helping others realise and expand their potential.

If smarty-pants slogan writer had any knowledge of the Latin language, he'd know that "education" comes from Latin, combining the prefix "e-" (meaning "out of") and "ducere" meaning "to lead".

So yeah, Mr. godlover, "education" LIDDERRALLEE means to be led out of something: ignorance and delusion.

thought-provoking set of meditations

authenticity, vitality, and freedom are definitely existential themes

addresses some of my own concerns about trying to make someone feel something (coercion, autonomy)

with the language of invitation

in Latin, se-ducere means to lead someone to oneself

Conducir (drive) and traducir (translate) share the Latin “ducere”, which means to drag or or guide :)
Just noticed the similarity between переходить (to cross) and переводить (to translate), and it made a lot of sense to me, since водить can mean "to drive/guide".

From what I checked, etymology of the word for Latin languages carries a similar meaning.
