THE FORGING OF ARISTOTLE

THE FORGING OF ARISTOTLE. This essay in the 'Studies in Alchimie Primordiale' series offers the radical proposal that the corpus of works ascribed to Aristotle - supposedly a student of Plato and the teacher of Alexander the Great - were in fact the product of a later era. This is the best way to explain the inconsistencies between this Aristotle and what he says of the works of Plato. The essay outlines the problems with the traditional account of where the works of Aristotle came from and suggests who wrote them and why.
