Nearly ten years after I read Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics as a first year undergrad – and nine years after I first read his Politics as a second year – I think I am starting to appreciate his work. Perhaps this is confirmation of Heidegger’s proposition that one should study Aristotle for ten to fifteen years before opening a single volume of Nietzsche. I say this as I’ve been re-reading the Politics and Ethics and parts of the History of Animals for a section in my dissertation on politikon zôon.

Argh! What is it with all these changes, first the Weblog, now you, who’s next!?
Comment, complaint, or compliment?
All three.
Although change freaks me out, I do rather like the new style of the blog, reminds me (in a good way) of a newsletter, or some sort of underground publication.
Aristotle is key, for sure. And Heidegger is certainly a fan of Aristotle, at least in certain respects.
