From a lecture in a dream: “There are laws that govern the Sun and the Moon, but what is the law of France? Therefore, the study of France is not a totalizing science.”
This was all said in English, but I suspect a Chinese pun underlies it: 法學 means “law” as an academic subject (what is taught in law school), but due to the polysemy of the first character, it could also be read as “the study of France.”
