| Quote (Altabin @ Nov. 06 2007,11:25) | But there was this thing called the "scientific revolution," one consequence of which was that the notions of "nature" and the "natural" used by Aristotle and his followers were rendered obsolete - in particular, their assertion that natural and artificial action were of utterly different kinds.

Missed it? They want to turn back the clock!
| Quote | What to do, then? Return to Aristotle? Certainly he should be read; his “Politics,” for example, is the best book on the subject ever written. But those who are contemplating a revival should consider the fundamental problem of teleology. Kant was not capable of solving the teleology riddle, but this riddle must be solved in some way order to reintroduce Aristotle and the synthetic method back into the public square.
Anyone feeling up to the challenge? |

So, who in the room thinks he's smarter than Kant?
