What Dominique Pagani says Dominique Pagani keeps returning to the Metaphysics. In Book Gamma, he points to the science of being qua being, which he calls a "philosophical imperialism" over the particular sciences1 , and to the principle of non-contradiction stated against the sophists, with its three conditions: same subject, same time, same respect2 . On the other hand, he criticizes the statement "all men by nature desire to know," where he considers the word "by nature" false3 . From Aristotle he takes the distinction between matter and form, which can be distinguished without being separated, definition by proximate genus and specific difference, the distinction between privation and negation, and the formula "mathematics unites men, politics divides them," which he often quotes4 . He praises a remark he calls "pre-Marxian": mathematics would have been born from the leisure of the Egyptian priests. He faults Aristotle for a finalist and anthropomorphic physics, in which bodies fall like horses that smell the stable5 . He also faults him for the idea of men born to obey, which Rousseau corrects. He sees him as a thinker of immanence and of the living, opposed to Plato.

Who is this? Aristotle (Ancient Greek: Ἀριστοτέλης, romanized: Aristotélēs; 384–322 BC) was an ancient Greek philosopher and polymath. His writings span the natural sciences, philosophy, linguistics, economics, politics, psychology, and the arts. As the founder of the Peripatetic school of philosophy in the Lyceum in Athens, he began the wider Aristotelian tradition that followed, which set the groundwork for the development of modern science.
