Rfv-sense: A commendatory prayer Notusbutthem (talk) 14:05, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
- I only found (and added) one quote -- other than that, just dictionaries. This is a difficult one to search for, because there are so many varied uses (and an overwhelming number of uses of the genus by this name), and I have spent as much time on this as I am inclined to at present. In addition to adding a number of missing definitions, I added a whole bunch of random cites to the citations page which don't seem to fall under any of our current definitions. Perhaps the last three go together under a meaning like "juxtaposition". Kiwima (talk) 02:55, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

Kojève[edit]
I removed two citations of Kojève from the sense "A thorough examination of a topic" etc. Though the quotations might appear to be referring to that sense out of context, in Kojève "parathesis" has a rather different and more specific definition, i.e. a discursive negation of both the original thesis and antithesis which entails its own internal triad thesis–antithesis–synthesis and cancels itself out if the original pair has a determinate sense. This has a vague relation to the definition given here but I don't think it can really be called an instance of it, to the extent that there is a difference between "thoroughly examining" something and negating it. 31.52.52.250 16:45, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
