POLITICS OF ARISTOTLE

302 ARZSTOTLE'S POLZTZCS.

having no experience of politics cannot teach them (cp. Plat.

Tim. 1gD).

But a fatal objection to this way of interpreting the passage is

the word p&m, which elsewhere in this chapter, and even in the

next sentence, means ' early education,' not ' mature philosophical

speculation.'

   The singular outburst of intellectual life at Athens, which a-e
   may well believe to have arisen after the Persian War, belongs
   to a period of Greek history known to us only from the very
   short summary of Athenian history contained in a few pages

    Three alternatives are given : I) Shall we use all the harmonies
    and rhythms in education? 2) Shall ve make the same dis-
    tinctions about them in education which are made in other uses
    of them? Or 3) Shall we make some other distinction?
    rpirov is certainly not symmetrical
    because it introduces not a third case but a subdivision of the
    second case. Yet other divisions in hristotle are unsymmetrical
    (cp. supra c. 3. Q I and vii. 11. $5 1-1).
