Abstract
“As it is not enough, before beginning to rebuild the house where one lives only to knock it down, and provide for materials and architects or to devote oneself to architecture, and beyond that, carefully to have prepared a plan of it; but it is also necessary to be provided with another house, where one can be comfortably lodged, during the time that the work is being done; so, in order that I might not remain as unresolved in my actions as reason compelled me to be in my judgments,... I formed for myself a provisional morality.”1
