His claim that Aristotle took substance itself seriously and thus was also able to think the irreducible singularity of being - the way in which things remain always elusive to us even as we are able to articulate something of their truth resonates with my work in <i>Aristotle on the Nature of Truth</i>:<br /><br />http://www.personal.psu.edu/cpl2/blogs/cplportfolio/2010/11/aristotle-on-the-nature-of-tru.html<br /><br />In my first book, ,<i>The Ethics of Ontology</i>," I argue that these two dimensions of things - their accessibility and elusiveness to human <i>logos</i> and <i>noesis</i> - finds articulation in the term "<i>tode ti</i>." Here is a link to that earlier work:<br /><br />http://www.personal.psu.edu/cpl2/blogs/cplportfolio/2004/05/the-ethics-of-ontology.html<br /><br />I am particularly glad to have the audio of this discussion and look forward to hearing more about this exchange. I would invite anyone interested in these ideas to listen to the series of podcasts made about the book panel on <i>Aristotle and the Nature of Truth</i> that was held this past spring at the Ancient Philosophy Society:<br /><br />http://www.personal.psu.edu/cpl2/blogs/cplportfolio/2011/04/aristotle-on-the-nature-of-tru-1.html<br /><br />Thank you for this blog. I appreciate the way you are curating digital artifacts of philosophical conversations.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05696346400364955119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21165575.post-34501126629052943402011-10-09T15:56:16.391-04:002011-10-09T15:56:16.391-04:00thanks ej, especially enjoyed graham's explica...thanks ej, especially enjoyed graham's explication in the q&a<br />-dmfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
