This volume presents a new translation of Aristotle's Topics Book VI by Annamaria Schiaparelli, accompanied by a detailed commentary and textual notes providing insight into the history of the transmission of the text with its variants. In the Topics, Aristotle aims at developing his dialectical method. He introduces the four predicables (property, genus, accident, and definition) which are necessary for the classification and application of the topoi, or commonplaces. Book VI of the Topics is entirely devoted to the discussion of definition, the most extended and refined discussion of this subject handed down to us from the classical period. The concept of definition plays a central role not only in Aristotle's logic but also in his ontology. Issues connected with definitions emerge constantly throughout his works. Moreover, definitions are at the centre of Platonic philosophy and sparked a lively discussion in philosophy of the Hellenistic and late classical periods.
The author, a computer science professor diagnosed with terminal cancer, explores his life, the lessons that he has learned, how he has worked to achieve his childhood dreams, and the effect of his diagnosis on him and his family.
This is the edition including all three books. The so-called Hermetic writings have been known to Christian writers for many centuries. The early church Fathers (Justin Martyr, Tertullian, Clement of Alexandria) quote them in defense of Christianity. Stobaeus collected fragments of them. The Humanists knew and valued them. They were studied in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and in modern times have again been diligently examined by many scholars. G. R. S. Mead has issued a translation of the whole body of extant literature, with extended prolegomena, commentary, etc. There is a wide difference of opinion as to the date at which this literature was produced. Mead believes that some of the extant portions of it are at least as early as the earliest Christian writings, while von Christ assigns them to the third Christian century, and thinks that they show the influence of neo-Platonism. To affirm that they influenced New Testament usage would be hazardous, but they perhaps throw some light on the direction in which thought was moving in New Testament times.
In "A Report of Just Thoughts," the author's stream of consciousness approach to the novel gives it immediacy from the on-set. As the title implies, it's indeed a report of thoughts that run the gamut from the existential to the observational. And the humor and insight throughout makes it a good read. Being careful to consider the feelings of all others, you politely and properly just concentrate on them and in communication while publicly speaking. You want a full audience. And the only echo you want to hear comes from the microphone, not an empty auditorium. When you take the words out of someone’s mouth, you’ve communicated for them, which can be a lifesaver when you advocate for the rights of others and a humanitarian effort. When helping people is your goal and you’re about to make it your life’s worth, and although there are agents of fortune more capable than you are to do the work, you can pretty much accomplish your dream all by yourself. Good luck and wish you well. You really need other people’s help to begin with it in the first place. To obtain the bright future you perceive is still possible and within reach, you turn to communication and report the breach. To fill the gap and lack of communication and inter and outer cooperation, you take down and remove the communication barrier forever.
