How can you say > that he simply "rediscovered" Aristotle? Don't know if we want to revisit this entirely, but I think a good case can be made that Hegel certainly rediscovered very important concepts in Aristotle... despite the fact that his own idealism and spiritualism seriously undercuts whatever realist elements that exist in his corpus. This said, I am simply suggesting that the dynamics that Hegel emphasizes are NOT to be counterposed to some fictional Aristotle who was a pure formalist and static thinker. That Aristotle never existed; he was always a dynamic thinker, and a grand dialectical one at that. - Chris =================================================Chris Matthew Sciabarra, Ph.D Visiting Scholar, NYU Department of Politics INTERNET: sciabrrc-AT-is2.nyu.edu http://pages.nyu.edu/~sciabrrc ================================================= --- from list marxism-thaxis-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
