Look, far be it from me to denigrate anyone's desire to fit a system to their universe. I tend to admire the effort behind such... but my goodness, Aristotle, must you be so DULL? The thought of sitting next to you at a dinner party fills me with horror.

I understand that there's a theory of alternate universes where everything is possible in at least one of them. Therefore, in at least one universe, "philosophy" is synonymous with "pedantry". I suspect it's a universe very close to this one, for Aristotle lays out his Ethics in such painful, eye-bleeding detail that it becomes a bog. Reading this book, I was seized with the desire to travel back in time and introduce him to the flow-chart. It would have saved a lot of effort.
