So, today has been a day of much productivity.
I skimmed roughly 200 pages of The Development of Logic, making note of the best passages in the most useful program Evernote, sort of an electronic notepad. (About fifty, all told, on ancient logic, medieval logic, and how ancient logic was known in Europe in the early medieval period.) Then yesterday I went through and turned it into an outline, and today I'm writing the outline in actual text. The point of all of this is to show the logic of the time when Anselm wrote his argument. A worthy goal, but not exactly fun or fast-paced….
It's nice knowing where to go next, and I am making progress – but durn it, the internet is distracting! I've turned off email all day, but it's most hard avoiding the call of procrastination. I want to check out LJ! Or icanhascheezburger. Or whatever else. But I'll be good.
So you know, that's why I've been quiet. I am thinking about you all – more than Aristotle, actually, at least at the moment.
