. . . Empedocles
he didnt know him
reading his name struck himmade him stop in his tracks was walkingreading thought
what an misfortunate name
took a slip of paper folded in the book The
Metaphysical Club and noted the philosophers name chastised
it employed pedophile
recorded his maxim Like is known by like
he notedwhich WOWed
him Empedocles didnt make a distinction between
perception and cognition
also Aristotle
attributed him only an account of perception
“For it is by earth that we see earth,
by water water,/By aether divine aether, and by fire destructive fire,/And
fondness by fondness, and strife by baleful strife.”
exhausting the slip of paper he hoped
nothing more profound occurred so he didnt have to tear its corners off and
bookmark pages
ducked a bullet
profound things he read he already knew
Lo
an behold
examples of perception
and cognition
