1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next four to seven sentences on your LJ along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest [unless it's too troublesome to reach and is really heavy. Then go back to step 1].
6. Tag five people.
“As the world has several senses, it follows that there are several causes of the same thing (not merely in virtue of a concomitant attribute), e.g. both the art of the sculptor and the bronze are causes of the statue. These are causes of the statue qua statue, not in virtue of anything else that material cause, the other the cause whence the motion comes.”
- From Physics Bk. 1, Ch. 3 by Aristotle, complied in the Introduction to Aristotle edited by Richard McKeon.
And yes, this was the first book that happened to be lying on my desk. It’s one of my textbooks for my Introduction to Ancient Philosophy course. The next nearest book would have been Beating Writer’s Block for Dummies, which doesn’t even have a page 123.
I tag…anybody who bothers to read these postings of mine and hasn’t done this already.
