  • Aristotle

    by Alfred Taylor ...
    It has not commonly been the lot of philosophers, as it is of great poets, that their names should become household words.

An educated man is expected to know at least who these great writers were, and to understand an allusion to the Antigone or Le Misanthrope. But we call a man well read if his ... Read more
