Unofficial title: “Making neurons dance to a certain beat, makes the brain clean itself”. It’s also a pretty good summary of the paper.

Philosophy #4: Aristotle's Four Causes to Understanding Anything.

December 12, 2024

In my previous post, I discussed Aristotle’s Theory of Universals; which proposes that universal properties (essences) exist within physical objects themselves. I discussed what universals are, but not why they exist. To understand why universals exist, we need to examine how things come to be and what makes them what they are.

Philosophy #3: Why does any of this even matter?

November 22, 2024

Within this series of posts on the antiquity philosophers, I’ve discussed Socrates’ Socratic method - which is a form of early dialectic reasoning, to understand understand the truth. I’ve discussed Plato’s Theory of Forms - which posits that the physical world we perceive is not real but rather based on a “higher, more perfect” world of Forms. Both of these philosophers are important to the development of Western philosophy, and went to great lengths to explore the nature of reality, with Socrates even dying for his beliefs. I want to finish this series by discussing some work from, who in my opinion, is the most important philosopher of the antiquity, Aristotle.

Philosophy #2: Why do my eyes hurt?

November 04, 2024

This is the second post in a series of the ancient Athenian philosophers, and I’ll be exploring some of the first ideas in metaphysics. Metaphysics is the study of existence, reality, and the nature of the world. The first post was on Socrates and intellectual humility - if you haven’t read it, you can find it here. I’m hoping to bring all the ideas together so if you haven’t read the first post, please check it out. Anyways, on to Plato!
