Steven, you could not have said it any better...I agree, in
my thoughts.(hehehe there's that disclaimer! and I used Thoughts instead of Belief)
@CraigS...-you are rubbing of on me Craig
.
I'm really enjoying this thread cause Craig, CraigS, Steven, Peter and Max all make good points about Aristotle on a myriad of points. Some good, some bad.
A lot to digest, but I'm still at an the infancy stage of any xxxxsics subjects.
Hope that makes sense......I do appreciate the information.....
and I hope James ( who started this thread) also appreciates all of your comments...?????...
