... "ONCE UPON A TIME . . . " I am trying to imagine how we differ mentally from prehistoric peoples. What passed for intelligence in those old days? They...

Edward, Most of the people on this planet today live on less than a dollar a day. It would be easy just flying to the Third World to find out. Half of us today...
Should I just dive right into Metaphysics, or is it better to go to Categories and Physics first? I'm a beginner with Aristotle. Hb3g [Non-text portions of...
Dear EFL: Your post is thought provoking. I believe Aristotle once said, in his later years, that the older he got the more of a lover of myth he was becoming....
There are some assumptions that we might want to call into question as we ask ourselves about how a deeper understanding of the compact mythic world of...

... Herman Triplegood: there are four of your msgs here in front of us, dated Nov 27, and Dec 11, 13 and 15. They all elicit interest, and invite response on...
Dear EFL: So far Voegelin has been my best second source access to Aristotle. He talks incessantly about Plato and Aristotle. Don’t let the titles of his...
Herman, in your third paragraph (which is as far as I got, before being stopped in my tracks) you give us the clue we need, "philomuthOteros." Bonitz' Index...
On the other hand, Herman, there is the passage near the beginning of the Metaphysics, beginning at 982b10, about the beginnings of philosophy in wonder and...
EFL: Perhaps two thousand years from now a fragment of my journal may be dug up that says the following: "The older I get the more I like to tell old sailor...

EFL: I like your balancing perspectives on both Voegelin and Jung. Regarding Voegelin, one has to keep this danger of fishing for quotes that match firmly in...
For me the bottom line is, history is myself (individually) and all of us (collectively). ... Herman: Voegelin's "discourse is notoriously technically...

That is a nice piece of dogmatic metaphysics there. Seriously, so-called negative time is actually dealt with mathematically using imaginary numbers, such the...

In a sense, what has happened is that the event has lost its presence, but this presence is only real for the observer of the event. MWI would say that the...
