pynchon agnostic? II

[Keith McMullen]

>>>Aristotle and St Thomas would probably make a stronger distinction
between perceptions and concepts. Something like the following: Through
our senses (perception) we receive mental pictures of objects
(phantasms),  from which the intellect forms concepts or ideas. The
intellect makes sensory perceptions intelligible. The senses are the
cause of ideas but not the sole cause. Something of the sort.<<<

The bottom line for me is that these discussions are quite funny.
