CHAPTER I
LIFE AND WORKS
It has not commonly been the lot of philosophers, as it is ofgreat poets, that their names should become household words.We should hardly call an Englishman well read if he had notheard the name of Sophocles or Molière. An educated man isexpected to know at least who these great writers were, andto understand an allusion to the Antigone or Le Misanthrope.But we call a man well read if his mind is stored with theverse of poets and the prose of historians, even though he wereignorant of the name of Descartes or Kant. Yet there are afew philosophers whose influence on thought and language hasbeen so extensive that no one who reads can be ignorant oftheir names, and that every man who speaks the languageof educated Europeans is constantly using their vocabulary.Among this few Aristotle holds not the lowest place. We haveall heard of him, as we have all heard of Homer. He has lefthis impress so firmly on theology that many of the formulae of theChurches are unintelligible without acquaintance with hisconception of the universe.
