The lecture on Aristotle as scientist/biologist goes into Aristotle's approach, how it's been misinterpreted and misrepresented over the centuries by various intellectuals.

Happy Birthday, B Royce!

Happy Birthday, Red!

Happy Birthday, Brad!

An obsession with the middle is way more extreme than anything at the ends.

He taught me so much through his lectures, books and sense of life. An irreplaceable warrior.
