Question

Alexander of Aphrodisias gave an argument for the superiority of this concept by showing that the Gods have no need of virtue in a commentary. Socrates considers but rejects Critias’s account of temperance as a particular form of this concept. This concept can never apply to “accidental” phenomena since it deals with what is necessary, according to Aristotle. This concept is compared to birds in an aviary in a dialogue centered on it. In Aristotelianism, (-5[1])this concept depends upon a (*) demonstrative argument with experience as the first (-5[1])principle. Socrates solves a paradox about acquiring this concept (10[1])when one lacks it with his theory of recollection in the dialogue (10[1])Meno.
