The New Gospel

Aristotle isn’t sexy or glamorous.  He doesn’t have an outlandish theory of knowledge politics that Plato does.  As a freshman one reads Plato and says, “Wow! This is so cool!  This is really wild!  I never thought about this before!”  Then one reads Aristotle and thinks, “This guy sounds like my Dad.  That can’t be very interesting.”  But over the long haul you realize that the much deeper, much more insightful, much more sensible position is Aristotle’s.
