Trump = Treason... And "Later Can't Mean Never"

Is 21st Century the Age of Anti-Aristotelianism?
There are two kinds of philosophers — the conformists and the rebels. The conformists play a role in explicating and strengthening the ideas that are already dominant in the society, whereas the rebels are focused on refuting the dominant ideas and establishing a new system of thought. In order to be effective, the rebels must target the philosophical systems that are most popular among the scholars and the masses. Aristotelianism was never targeted in a big way by the rebellious philosophers for more than 2000 years after Aristotle because it was never regarded as a dominant school... more »
