>The conclusion you present is wrong. Aristotle's 'imitation' has a broader application . It is accepted fact among serious philosophers. Boris Shoshensky In the passage I quoted, The Philosopher attributed the instinct for imitation to the pleasure humans take from learning. Does he ever attribute it anything else ? Where? It's occurred me that this is really a nifty idea - as it explains why most imitations are only attractive the first time they're seen. And the attraction humans have for learning is really remarkable, isn't it? Too bad it usually takes a back seat to the human needs for security and social status. ____________________________________________________________ Get your dream car or truck.
