opinion which is put forward as sufficient in itself to determine
the standard. The appellative of ipse-dixitism is not a new one —

the principle recognized (so Cicero informs us) by the disciples

he has said it — the master has said that it is so — therefore,
say the disciples of the illustrious sage, — therefore so it is.
