I don't think it knocked Aristotle's socks ['sandals', corrects Geary],
since he (Aristotle) wrote, "De generatione et corruptione", refuting Plato's
idea
of the soul as immortal.
The verb is "gignomai" (the online Liddell-Scott defines as 'come into
being', 'become') but Mike will correct that.
Cheers,
