Peirce

Here is a quote from the great philosopher C.S. Peirce which mentions this word: "It must not be forgotten that Aristotle was an Asclepiad, that is, that he belonged to a family which for generation after generation, from prehistoric times, had had their attention turned to vital phenomena; and he is almost as remarkable for his capacity as a naturalist as he is for his incapacity in physics and mathematics." (CP 6.356)

Do you think he is saying that Aristotle came from a family of healers or what? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.232.9.108 (talk) 16:01, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
