[216] 1. Outdated Philosophy (Butterfield & Aristotle) Last Minute Literature
-
- Education
As we challenge and develop our understanding of the physical and metaphysical worlds, we are bound to encounter theory that can now be either proven or disproven. Today we will analyse Butterfield's writings on the value of understanding Aristotelian physics, and discuss how close analysis of even incorrect modes of thinking can be beneficial to understanding how mental frameworks can limit future growth and innovation. This research is initiated by and based on resources provided by the lecturers at Massey University as part of the course 134.216: Modern Philosophy.
