The form of the foregoing note has been changed somewhat, and the quotation from Damascius extended. This note was written in 1792: Taylor's mature conclusion was, that the opposi tion of Aristotle to the Platonic doctrines, even to that of Ideas, was purely apparent. He strenuously maintained that Aristotle was not only the pupil but in the strictest sense the holder of the Platonic dogmas; contrary to the ignorant and rash deduc tions of the moderns, who had never fully comprehended either master or pupil.
