NP looking for genius

[Doug Millison]

In his consideration of the Western tradition of philosophy, the
reader is told that Aristotle probably never existed as an author.
Rather, "the words placed under his name were, at the earliest stage
of their history, compilations of notes, recordings, collections of
facts, and other fragments, mainly from his lectures at the Lyceum,
which were assembled, amended, and very often written by his
students. They were, in short, communal creations" (pp. 7-8).
