• Heidegger's Kantian Reading of Aristotle's Theologike Episteme

Even though Kant's Critique of Pure Reason constitutes the principal model for Heidegger's Metaphysics of Dasein it would be impossible to understand this project without taking into account his interpretation of Aristotle's Metaphysics and the questions this text left open.3 Confronted with the contemporaneous interpretations of Aristotle's works - those by Werner Jaeger and Patii Natorp - Heidegger proposed to revive Aristotle's questioning process. The external tradition, and its employment in the history of philosophy, denies problems their life, and that means it seeks to stifle their transformation, and so we must fight against it.7 What distinguishes the retrieval from other methods of historical exegesis is that it gives the problems the possibility to come back to life, that i...

• A Democracy of Distinction: Aristotle and the Work of Politics

While A Democracy of Distinction offers a substantial contribution to scholarship on Aristotle's political thought, Frank's final chapter, "The Polity of Friendship," leaves the reader wanting more. Arrival at this final chapter, however, leaves one hoping for reflection on the bigger picture of how this contribution to Aristotle scholarship fits into contemporary political philosophy as a whole.

• Channeling Aristotle

Aristotle once said, "Excellence is an art won through training and habituation." BB&T University has adopted this ancient philosophy as its own and has translated it into an approach known as Teach, Preach, Reach. Through that approach, the company conveys that learning and development goes far beyond the walls of its training centers and that employees and their managers are vital elements of the learning culture. Its learning and development activity section specifies training opportunities to be completed during the coming year. Formal learning activities, knowledge bases, job aids, electronic performance support, and on-the-job learning are available to employees to satisfy these learning needs. Managers are trained and are required to suggest learning opportunities to remedy d...

• Poetry Is More Philosophical Than History: Aristotle On Mimêsis and Form

For this reason they are on a level between abstraction and common sense experience and are present in poems as implicit 'embodied' properties . . . not explicit, let alone propositional, elements.'' James Redfield writes that the plot is the story conceived ... in terms of relations between . . . causes and consequences; for this reason it shows us the internal logic of the events represented and conveys some universal pattern of human probability or necessity. The philosopher starts with what is first for us and arrives at what is first in itself, that is to say, he moves from the domain of the sensible to that of the intelligible,147 and uncovers archai that are universal in the strict sense of the term.118 Given that he attains conceptual articulations of the essential nature of th...

• Aristotle's Defense of the Theoretical Life: Comments On Politics 7

All of these must belong to those who are to be among the blessedly happy (makariois).5 For no one would say that the blessed man has no share of courage or moderation or of justice or practical wisdom, but is afraid of flies buzzing around, can resist nothing when he desires food or drink, destroys his dearest friends for a pittance, and is as foolish and prone to error when it comes to intellectual matters as a child or a madman. Some have made this sort of judgment, while others say that the despotic and tyrannical form of government is the only happy one.15 Miller argues that because Aristotle here distinguishes the political from the tyrannical, which involves the performance of unjust acts of excessive possession towards one's neighbors, he leaves open the possibility that the po...

ProQuest: ... denotes Greek characters omitted (or Cyrillic characters omitted.)) ... is no psychology in the modern sense, but rather deals with the being of the human being (or of living beings in general) in the world.-Heidegger, Introduction to Phenomenological Research1 Of all beings that are, presumably the most difficult to think about are living creatures, because on the one hand, they are in a certain way most closely akin to us, and on the other they are at the same time separated from our ek-sistent essence by an abyss.-Heidegger, Letter on Humanism2 I THROUGHOUT THE EARLY FREIBURG AND MARBURG SEMINARS and lectures leading to the composition of Sein und Zeit (1927), Heidegger was consistently preoccupied with the guiding question of Aristotle's Metaphysics, What is being?
