Aristotle on Africa
(Research Papers on the Humanities and Social Sciences)

ISBN-13: 978-0-9633277-8-9, ISBN: 0-9633277-8-X

"The recent popular interest in Martin Bernal's Black Athena has called renewed attention to G.R.G James, Stolen Legacy (1954), a classic source of the argument that ancient Greek philosophy was stolen from the Egyptians. I have elsewhere [1] discussed the James thesis concerning the presocratics and Plato; in this paper I will examine his thesis that the philosophy of Aristotle in particular derives from Egypt."

"2 In view of the fundamental (for the pure Platonists) distinction between the intelligible and the sensible worlds, Plotinus's charge means that Aristotle erred in directing his inquiries towards the latter to the neglect of the former which, nevertheless, comprises "the most important beings."3 Since Aristotle's categories fail to function as 'genera of Being," in Plotinus's view they lose to Plato's ui-vicrTa 7evt] presented in ..."

"Arthur Madigan, S.J. In his Essai sur la morale d'Aristote of 1881, Leon Olle- Laprune devoted a chapter to establishing the thesis that Aristotle's rational eudaimon- ism does not do away with but rather affirms the disinterestedness that is the essence and the foundation of virtue.1 Sir David Ross, on the other hand, while believing that Aristotle was trying to break down the antithesis between egoism and altruism, held that he fa ..."

Paperback, 27 Pages, Published 1992 by Global Publications
ISBN-13: 978-0-9633277-6-5, ISBN: 0-9633277-6-3

"Recently attention has been drawn again to the thesis that classical Greek civilization owed a great deal to Egyptian civilization. The first two volumes (1987, 1991) of Martin Bernal's projected four-volume study, Black Athena, have strongly supported the thesis, but earlier scholarship has also gotten renewed attention. One of the more provocative books, for an historian of philosophy at least, is Stolen Legacy: The Greeks were not th ..."

"It is often said that to understand Plato we must understand his times. Many readers who might accept without question this saying of historical criticism may still wonder why we should think it necessary to begin our enquiry as far back as Homer and beyond.
