My plato-timaeus list has been quiet for some time, but a few subscribers have recently indicated a desire to launch a slow reading of this dialogue. If you...
What are we to make of Plato's Parmenides? My candid impression is that we have all been wrong in the way we have approached this dialogue throughout all time....
In the course of moving, this past Winter and Spring, I ran across a binder of old papers that I wrote at least twenty five years ago. The cover bears the...
If we look back at the twentieth century as a whole, what - would we say - characterizes it? Prominently the occurrence of two huge world wide organized...
Aristotle's Peri psuchEs is the first extended treatise on psychology. This title is usually translated "On the Soul," but that is a misnomer. "Soul" carries...
More on the DaimOnion and the subconscious "Why is the subconsious useful?" Why does our conscious mind "interfere with our thoughts"? Our thoughts are slaves...
This is the most lucid thing I have come across in recent times. Steve Learnard Metaphysics, Aristotle, tr. by Thomas Taylor Wisdom, therefore, considered as a...
Recently I was looking t the archives of these two lists for about ten years ago, curious to see if what I had to say at that time still seemed any good. What...
A PROLEGOMENA TO A REVIEW OF ARISTOTLE'S METAPHYSICS The world has two aspects. One we touch, see, hear, etc. The other we imagine or think about. We call the...
Greetings, I am plodding slowly through some readings by Aristotle and I noticed in the Metaphysics where he wrote (last line of part VI Book 1) The...
Thank you, Joseph. The passage you refer to is lines 987a29-b1 at the beginning of chapter vi of Book I (Alpha). May I first make a suggestion: in your...
METAPHYSICS, A BRIEF REVIEW Aristotle's "Metaphysics" is a long and a complex treatise. When we read it together on this list sponsored by Lance Fletcher, in...
My apologies that some of the margins, especially of the outlines, got garbled in the recent transmission. Their correct placement should be fairly obvious to...
Hello again, Regarding my previous question I want to ask it again in view of the multiple occurrences of 'men' to avoid misunderstanding. I double asterixed...
Joseph, it seems to me that you have asked two questions: (1) What did Aristotle mean or intend? Was he turning Plato's Ideas into things on the same level as...
I want to know about Aristotle's "theology", that is "thought about theos". If you know some good references, please let me know. Byung-hoon, Woo. From South...

I just received the following notice of Ed Little's death from his daughter Marcia Little. I am sure that all the members of the plato-parmenides and...

Thank you much, Kalev Pehme! Maybe your recommended book is not "The Argument 'and' the Action", but "The argument 'of' the action". This book is in the...

Hi all I have a discussion by my friends concerning the golf between theoretical and practical reason in Aristotle. There are a lot of questions here. Can we...
I have some difficulty to understand Aristotle's point of view of the relationship between the mouvement and the sudden, unexpected appearance of a God!! Can...
Souran, Are you referring to Aristotle's introduction of the notion of a Prime Mover in Metaphysics lamda? Can you say precisely which passage you find...
Souran, My current thinking may be of help. I see elements of infinite possibility in a state of fire, which pass into water where they are named or baptized...
Lance Lamda, yes. The whole metaphysics as well as the physics are based on the notion that from the "phenomenon of mouvement" Arsito leaps , by a miracle, to...
