Ariskant, Plathegel In a message dated 6/14/2012 4:17:57 P.M.

The link being indeed: Aristotle ---> Kant Plato --------> Hegel Grice said that philosophers (and people in general) should grow an interest for IMPORTANT philosophers, not "minor figures" like "Witters, Bosanquet, or Wollaston". He goes on to list his favourite philosopher as being alternatively Ariskant, or Kantotle (cfr. Plathegel, Heglato). And so on.

Aristotle, Aristotle was a b*gger for the bottle." ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
