		<title>Aristotle&#8217;s four causes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I got a tweet this morning that warmed my Aristotelian soul. Many of my students in the Fall 2009 Ancient Philosophy course did their creative projects on Aristotle&#8217;s Four Causes. (See Physics II.3 and Metaphysics A.3.) I did have some houses, hair cuts, music recordings,and martinis. But coffee won out. I wonder why? Well, next [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From the Telegraph UK Ben Fogle&#8217;s latest challenge: philosophy.

There is a lavish breakfast laid out for us, which goes some way [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ajax and Fort Hood</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From the NY Times: PTSD and war &#8211; a perspective from Sophocles.
The ancient Greeks had a shorthand for the mental anguish of war, for post-traumatic stress disorder and even for outbursts of fratricidal bloodshed like last week’s shootings at Fort Hood. They would invoke the names of mythological military heroes who battled inner demons: Achilles, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dogs are Aristotelians</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From the NY Times:
Dogs, it seems, are Aristotelians, but with their own doggy teleology. Their goals are not only radically different from ours; they are often invisible to us. To get a better view, Horowitz proposes that we humans get down intellectually on all fours and start sniffing.

		<description><![CDATA[Today was NOCRAP day. (Northern California Readers of Ancient Philosophy) That&#8217;s the &#8220;unofficial&#8221; name. It&#8217;s really the West Coast Aristotelian Society. It was founded about 30 years ago.

		<title>If Parmenides could swing!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve grown accustomed to thinking of Parmenides as the ultimate &#8220;cool cat&#8221;, you dig? It&#8217;s all about &#8220;What-Is&#8221;, man. You dig? In class today I mentioned bebop. But now that I think of it, he&#8217;s really much more laid back than the hard bebop cats. West Coast cool jazz all the way.
