   	                           We think of Aristotle in terms
   of the whole historical phenomenon associated with his name.  But
   he knows nothing of this because he is dead. The man is dead and
   gone.  What difference could it have made to him whether or not he
   has this kind of "immortality?"

I work hardest (while I am alive) creating that which I believe is
worth leaving behind as a legacy.  Perhaps Aristotle had a similar
motivation.  The difference is in having lived a life worth living.

Aristotle's thinking processes still live in the minds of many
thinkers to this day.  Those of us who frequent this newsgroup might
dare dream that methods of reasoning developed through our collective
effort here will likewise stand the test of time.
