Aristotle sets the horizons of our inquiry: What is it when we say we know something? And is the object of knowledge a universal or particular [tode ti] object? Aristotle's critique of Plato's theory of form/Forms in light of his notion of actuality has generated a variety of topics that frame our inquiry: "Understanding Eidos as Form in the Works of Aristotle as Plato's Critical Student"; "Aristotle on Plato's Forms as Causes"; "Notes on the Relationship between Plato's Parmenides and Aristotle's Metaphysics Alpha"; "'Separate' and 'Inactive'? Aristotle's Most Challenging Critique of Plato's 'Forms'"; "Too Much Unity in a City Is Destructive of the City: Aristotle against Plato's Unification Project of the Polis"; "Aristotle on the Soul as Actuality"; "Delphic Piety in the De Anima of Alexander of Aphrodisias"; "Aristotle and Plotinus: Act and Potency and the Two Acts"; and "Al-Fārābīon Habit and Imagination." Here, the Peripatetic readings of form and actuality are parsed from the precipice of historical, analytic, and continental approaches to the mind/language/object problem, with advocacy of the importance of Aristotle's contribution to this inquiry for the present age.

…Has our Species Sapiens a guardian angel around her? Eine Schutzengel herum? …Or just a little devil? Oder nur ein kleiner Teufel... …Could survive our Species in this extra-stressing condition, which in the third decade of the March 2020, seems to be unbearable, seems to be chance-lost, seems to become frightened, seems to become paralyzing for the whole economy, particularly for Western Europe (Italy and Spain) and United States?... …Could one write, could one think, a book of all books of Sapiens, a verse of all verses of Sapiens, a formula of all formulas of Sapiens, an equation of all equations of Sapiens, a theory about all theories about Sapiens, a principle of all principles about Sapiens, in order to save Sapiens, or at least to alleviate its ordeal and misery of this present pathology, which Sunday, 29 March 2020, has reached worldwide about 650.000 cases with fast 30.000 deaths?... But a day later, Monday, 30 March, 2020, the numbers of infected cases around the globe has reached the total cases of 750.000 with about 35.000 deaths… Therefore, a rising in affected people of about 100.000 per day, with about 5000 deaths accordingly to the John Hopkins University! Apocalypse now! …Since Mid-December 2019, a strange and dangerous epidemic outbreak of an infectious virus, a viral disease, originating in Far East China mainland, with epicenter in Wuhan province, having at North the Nanjing city and province, at East is placed the Hangzhou province, at south is Changsha province, and at West is Chongqing province. This infectious outbreak has been ravaged the world, by sweeping over countries and continents, reaching its peak of mortality in ending of March 2020, in Western Europe, more exactly in Italy (over 85.000 cases with over 10.000 deaths) and Spain (over 65.000 cases with over 6.000 deaths)… The whole of Sapiens is haunted by this virus- phantom, by this nano-metric haunt, which can provoke serious diseases in human, some of them with lethal ending, through aggravated respiratory weaknesses, both in upper and down of respiratory system, called SARS – Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, with the particularity of Middle East area, called MERS, (Middle East) Severe Acute Respiratory System… The measures of closing businesses, plants, parks, schools, universities, museum, expositions, sport – events, including even the Olympic Games in July this year in Japan, then industry of tourism through airports and agreements places, then congresses and symposiums, including those of medical ones, with harsh boundaries controls between states, or between regions of the same countries, here are a somber development of this viral disease, called in scientific terms, COVID – 19, or by other as SARS – COVID 2! All of a sudden, billions and billions of Euro and Dollars have been pushed in all forms of medical precautionary of anti–viral measures, in hospitals, clinics, researching of new drugs or an efficient vaccine in this battlefield of all, called by myself as SAPIENS, against CORONA VIRUS! It is reported that some drugs, already used for other diseases, could have some positive actions for the treatment of this overspreading illness. Also, the natural resistance of every individuals in creating of its own auto-immunity system resisting to Corona virus, with multitudes imploring and praying the mysteries forces hidden in human or possible extra-human, or calling of para-psychological powers coming from signs of zodiac or orders of planets and stars with cosmological alignment in saving humanity. Among millions and millions of doctors and assistants, of researcher and clinicians, throughout the world, there is also a theoretical searcher and researcher in this area, particularly in THEORETICAL MEDICINE, in recombining MEDICINE with PHILOSOPHY, as PHILOSOPHICAL MEDICINE, who is just… myself! It is noted that my previous two books regarding this dramatic topics, SAPIENTOLOGY & CORONA VIRUS and CORONA IS SAPIENS, are already published on line through Amazon – KDP, waiting also in days, their publishing on Google / Play /Book! Now, around of 30 March, 2020, is to hope to publish the fifth on-line book about Corona virus, called EIDOS & CORRONA! After two wisdoms in “SOPHOS”, in previous book of SAPIENTOSOPHY & VIRUSOSOPHY, both in battlefield of present pathology, let’s make an incursion into secrecy of virus through its own Eidos, one of the central concept of idealist philosophy, whatever in Greek philosophy or German Idealismus. But CORRONA with double “R” into the middle of the substantive? Why not, we must fight on all fronts of secret knowledge, of mystery and magic intuition, because Sapiens is a mystery of creation through itself, for itself and with itself, and Sapiens itself has been built on for battle in all directions, likewise the Corona virus in its endemic and pandemic overspreading, without frontiers, without choosing the victims through their genre or through their age or through their profession or location! Therefore, let’s try it, let’s encourage and re-encourage this kind of behavior in publishing books (primarily online), about this world wide plague, the sad dominance in our virus plague time or era through CORONA VIRUS, through these sets of books, of booklets and possible bookishes, all relating this pandemic infectious of worldwide disease, by making ill history, ill-hopes and possible ill deities alike… Eidologist of Theoretical Virusology
