Peripatein (περιπατεῖν – „to wander“)


As shadow wratihs they formed philosophical thinking all over the galaxy in iron-age ancient civilizations. On earth they influenced the famous Peripatetic school. The doctrines of the Peripatetic school were those laid down by Aristotle. Aristotle preferred to start from the facts given by experience. Philosophy to him meant science, and its aim was the recognition of the "why" in all things.


For Aristotle, matter is the basis of all that exists; it comprises the potentiality of everything, but of itself is not actually anything. A determinate thing only comes into being when the potentiality in matter is converted into actuality. This is achieved by form, the idea existent not as one outside the many, but as one in the many, the completion of the potentiality latent in the matter.


These reflections are linked to their own examination of their own incorporeal life form. In addition, out of the shadows they pursue a critical agenda against any dullness and tyranny.
