As Derek Parfit points out in his book Reasons and Persons, "Each of us grew from a particular pair of cells: an ovum and the spermatozoon by which, out of millions, it was fertilized" (1986, 351). See DEREK PARFIT, REASONS AND PERSONS 80-81 (1984). Two decades before his denunciation of irony and a few years before my son was inducted into the scouts, Terry Jones of Monty Python fame, a champion ironist who was also a part-time medievalist, wrote a book called Chaucer's Knight: The Portrait of a Medieval Mercenary, which purported to show that the man described in the Prologue to The Canterbury Tales as a parfit gentil knight was in fact a brutal and cold-blooded killer with nothing chivalric about him. |
