Hello,
Could you please help me paraphrase the sentences below or give me a hand on deciphering their meanings?
Thanks in advance.
"...Purvapakshin is an imaginary person who is privileged in every disputed question to say all that can possibly be said against the view finally to be upheld. He is something like the man of straw whom modern writers like to set up in their arguments in order to be able to demolish him with great credit to themselves.” Theosophy Or Psychological Religion, Max Müller
