Partially Examined Life

To conclude our discussion of Aristotle's Metaphysics (from • Partially Examined Lif... ), we finish discussing potency by talking about the potential to learn (the Meno problem), the metaphysical priority of the actual over the merely potential, and how the Unmoved Mover motivates all primary beings to strive toward their full actualization.

As much as I enjoy your other series like this one, when are we going to get the part 2 of your discussion of Isaiah Berlin? Just wondering. Thank you!

Good grief. All this hoo haa about simple perseverance and reflection. The over-wrought era we live in. These are habits applied over time. Nothing to it.
