Individual Important
In Aristotle’s World
Central Problem Was to Find

The Key or Cause Ordering
His Universe





Common Room, November 20.—
Contrary ‘to popular opinion, Aris-
totle was more idealistic than Plato,
Dr. Charles Bakewell told the Phi-
-losophy Club, for “he combined ideal-
ism with common sense.—We love
Plato; we look up to Aristotle.” Just
as Plato had depended on Socrates so
“Aristotle stood on Plito’s shoulders.
It was as if one idea were growing
thrgugh three lives.”

f his eighteenth year Aristotle,
' lis ing, conceited, over-dressed, but
brilliant, entered Plato’s Academy.
In the 20 years that he remained
there, it is probable that he wrote the
majority of his lost dialogues and his
surviving treatments of eight major
subjects. More amazing than _ his
prolific writings is the questionable
aspect of his discussions of their fun-
damental difficulties.

Aristotle has been called “nature’s
private secretary, dipping his pen in
intellect.” But his critical approach,
entailed too set an angle to be favor-
able for unbiased scientific study.

His biological studies, however,
merely trained his observations and
did not satisfy his desire to view the
“cosmic process as a whole.” Even
objects of sensation, he contended,
are not simply sensational. We are

impressed by the form but not by the
matter of an object. Repetitious im-
pressions evoke memory which under-
lies reason and science.

So. Aristotle’s central problem was
to find the “key,” the cause, which
ordered his cosmos. He contended
that all factions and changes “are
predicated by the assumption that
there is something beyond.” Here
he goes back to the Platonic “ideas”
but, contrary to Plato, he regards
them as forms in a changing world.

To. Aristotle, the real in this world
is the individual. To identify the in-
dividual throughout the changes svhich
he suffers, he empirically denied ents
gories, or second essences, which are
a logic of language if not of science.
Under these, all traits may be cubby-
holed. x

Viewihg the problem internally,
there are four causes, not separate
but inter-involved: material, formal,
efficient and final. Hnd conditions
form which determines development.
We need not be conscious of this pro-
cedure, for “consciousness is apart
from mind.” Form cannot exist with-
out matter.
events is motivated by the end or
entelechy.

All this experience preserves what
has preceded it and points to what‘is
to follow. This progression cannot
comprehensively be infinite; an Un-
moved Mover ends it.

As man has always conceived his
God as a glorification of his ac im-
age, and since contemplation of*truth
is man’s most perfect occupation, this
is God’s exclusive preoccupation.
Aristotle’s God, therefore, moves in

STORE LABOR PROBED
. BY SHOPPERS’ LEAGUE



Mrs. Dorothea Ways, president of
the Philadelphia League of Women
Shopper’s spoke on the League’s pro-
gram and the recent department store
strike in Philadelphia to graduate
students and their guests at a tea
given in Radnor Hall on Sunday, De-
cember 6.

The League of Women Shoppers, an
orgahization recently formed in Phila-
delphia to enlighten women shoppers
on the subject of labor policies in
stores, investigates complaints of bad
labor conditions. It consults the man-
agement of the store and interviews
unions and employees and on the basis
of its findings suggests appropriate
astion to members. In cases -where
conditions are found to be bad and
management uncooperative, the league
recommends that its members do not
patronize the store until adjustments
have been made.

Sir Hubert Wilkins, Famous Polar



Explorer, After Rugged Arctic Fare—
Gets Comfort and Cheer with Camels!








He knows the Arctic and the Antarctic. He
has known abysmal cold; fought his way
step by step through howling blizzards;
lived on pemmican and biscuit. “ Where I’ve
gone, Camels have gone,” says Sir Hubert.
“An explorer needs good digestion,” he
continues. “In the Arctic, I take what I can
get to eat and like it. Food is monotonous
— concentrated —hastily prepared. Smoking
Camels adds gusto to my meals and brings
me a great feeling of well-being afterward.
Camels set me right! A Camel has often
given me the ‘lift’ I needed to carry on.”








HE POURS WHITE-HOT MOLTEN
STEEL. C. V. Davis’ job is tough on di-
gestion. He says: “Smoking Camels makes
food taste better and set better with me.”
