We are referring to this way mediaevals had of referring to "The Stagirite"
(equally rude) as "the philosoper". As Russell says in "Definite
Descriptions", the phrase, 'the king of France' IMPLICATES that the uniqueness
of
the crown is a fact.
Omar was referring to the fact that, although married, the 'philosopher'
(the Stagirite) or Aristotle:
>>did form a relationship with Herpyllis>
and comments:
>Herpes for short.
O. T. O. H., there's Popper. From Wikipedia:
"Around that time he started courting Josephine Anna Henninger, who later
became his wife." ...
"Popper and his wife chose not to have children because of the
circumstances of war in the early years of their marriage. Popper commented
that this
"was perhaps a cowardly but in a way a right decision"."
And so on.
Cheers,
Speranza
