philosophical school, n.All

Philosophical school (n.) dies ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠without a successor while a dancer's house is carefully kept up by heirs: people guard a pantomime actor's name from vanishing and let Pyrrho's teaching go.

A Philosophical school (n.) needs ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠two presiding philosophers: one who surveys experience adequately but inconsistently, and one who makes it rigidly consistent — and so reduces it to absurdity.
