All Along the Front

At the front of the ground a person was to find the applied form. A seemingly nonsensical sentence to introduce the concept of word abstraction. A front was commonly the side appearing in relation to the rear. Making the rear of the earth nonsensical because we are on a spherical earth.

A person making the geological sand diggings would disagree immediately. A front of time was the top layer of the earth or ground. An older age was the bottom ussually, and the oldest of the rear was lost in time.

Nonsensical sentences are common place but the encounter was to instruct, be careful when ALL sentences are exactly nonsensical. A different form of theory just may be the cause of a lost understanding. No understanding of the sentence may just mean to thing in a deeper larger sense.

Aristotle was written. All the words in English translation are deep. Many abstractions as an order are required to read.

An example was the PAge 1 of Prior Analytics. Aristotle demanded the person to learn on page 1. As a warning for readers of the great works, never preceed beyond this page 1 without a complete understanding. As a warning it is understood the Bertrand Russell read page 1 and never understood Aristotle.

Russell thought Aristotle a failed logician, when in fact Russell utilized a single form of page one as the basis for his great work ".. mathematica". Remember forms are simply relations and a basic inference is a selected relation to unit all encountered.

So read cerefully. I use a paragraph an hour as the correct speed of reading Aristotle.

It might take a lifetime of study to get beyond page 1 unless a teacher instructs. And this blog is dedicated to proper ancient Greek logic instruction.

English translation is very much an isse inproper reading and the edition by McKeon was to be a good to excellent abstract translation. Conversion of this type of translation to proper English was a cause of great concern. What was lost in translation was the whole world of Plato, his mentor.

So step one: Get the proper Richard McKeon, "The Baisc Works of Aristotle", translation edition, The Modern Library, New York



Step 2: Go to page 1, Prior Analytics, first page.
page 65 of my edition of Mckeon.

Read. And in further posts I will decompose the page to allow all to learn.
