    Here's the table of contents. The article on Aristotle's Criticism of Plato's Forms, which I have not read, is available for free here.

    It would be great to get a handle on the chapter on Epicureans and Stoics on Universals, but so far I can't find it.

    Don't worry Cassius, the space-time continuum has been warped since March 2020. That would explain any lapses of memory.

    Happy New Year, all!

    I was once reading the comments under a YouTube video when I came across one that I thought very clever. I actually laughed out loud, not something I do often, only to discover upon looking at the name that it was my own comment I was laughing at. This is precisely the kind of thing we can and should expect, in view of our two or three pound mammalian brains. 😄
