Notes & Asides.(Brief Article)
Dear Bill: You and friend Brown ["Notes & Asides," Feb. 5] are both wrong.
The Nicomachean Ethics was not written by Aristotle, but by another man with the same name. And how do we know that the other man did not have a ghostwriter? Or that the ghostwriter did not have a ghostwriter?
In Troilus and Cressida the old men of Troy are debating whether to send Helen back to her husband. Suddenly, they see her from afar, and are so overwhelmed by her beauty that they prefer death and destruction to giving her up.
Hector overhears this and lectures them: "You gloze, like young men whom Aristotle thought unfit to hear moral philosophy."
If Hector could quote Aristotle 800 years before he was born- and the Fool in Lear can say, "This prophecy shall Merlin make, I come before his time"-who knows when or by whom anything was written?
Hoping this clarifies everything once and for all,
Harry V. Jaffa
