The Argument For Immortality In Plato's Phaedrus, Thomas M. Robinson
The Argument For Immortality In Plato's Phaedrus, Thomas M. Robinson
The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter
The Phaedrus seems to be saying that soul is the cause of all movement in an organized world, a world measurable by Time. In a non-organized world not measurable by Time one can wonder whether the movement in question has anything to do with this. At this stage words start to break down under the strain.

An Inquiry Into Aristotle's Use Of Proportionality, Thomas Olshewsky
The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter
This paper is an exploratory investigation of the use of analogy in Aristotle's works.

We will first investigate the etymological background of analogia, and then consider Aristotle's uses of it. On the basis of these considerations, we will attempt to formulate its ontological and historical significance. Finally, we will …
