Aristotle’s Dualistic Reason Is No Doubt Taught Here.
…The Humanities and Social Sciences Classroom Building At The University of South Carolina Aiken.
…The Narrator next covers, in two pages, Phaedrus’s objections to Aristotle. He finishes this portion of the Chautauqua with following sentences =>
...“[Phaedtus] …. saw [Aristotle]as a prototype for the many millions of self-satisfied and truly ignorant teachers throughout history who have smugly and callously killed the creative spirit of their students with this dumb ritual of analysis, this blind, rote, eternal naming of things. Walk into any of a hundred thousand classrooms today and hear the teachers divide and subdivide and interrelate and establish "principles" and study "methods" and what you will hear is the ghost of Aristotle speaking down through the centuries—the desiccating lifeless voice of dualistic reason.“ (Cont. Next)

…Aristotle was, no doubt, the one that started it all. Of course, this classification system seems to be what works well for sciences.
…However, it is applied all too often in areas where inappropriate, destructive, and to the exclusion of other workable methods. This is also true for "principles" and study "methods". These concerns are discussed extensively various places in ZMM.
