On to Aristotle
Finished up the Socratic dialogs for this course and am now into Aristotle. I need to sit down and gather my thoughts about the dialogs and capture it here. The last one I did, Sophist, was a bear in that they kept going off on tangents about all kinds of things while obstensibly trying to define what a sophist was/is. And Plato — which is who wrote/wrote down the Socratic dialogs — continued what appears to be his habit of letting his speakers explore every corner of a side issue even though the whole reason to bring it up is to shoot it down.
Luckily, sometimes the asides are as interesting as the main conversation. But sometimes they’re not. Anyway, I’ve got to gather my thoughts. A lot of good stuff in there, and not all of it on my intended topic — leadership communication — which is a bonus.
