You would know, if you would have participated in our readings! :)

I think it is helpful for understanding the way poetry and even drama influences men. It is also helpful in our developing our aesthetic philosophy.

Aristotle is the biggest fraud ever perpetrated on western civilization.

Now be careful…some of his stuff is very platonic :)

Well, he never had an original idea. He had to work as a parasite off of Plato.

Do you hold the same grudge against Aquinas? He was the aristotle to Augustine’s plato. Or every man since Aquinas and Augustine? Perhaps its not the same.

Aquinas was nothing but Aristotle’s dupe till he saw the light in the last days of his life.

research Aristotlean logic vs. paradoxical logic.

and I think you’ll see why he was so important

He even conned people into thinking he had a monopoly on right thinking.
