  1:15:00, this would contradict the assertion in earlier lectures that because everyone if creating a similar category and/or particular, that they must be getting to some essence. The student disagreed and appears to be vindicated here.

  1:32:06, in other lectures Law of Contradiction is a "rule" not an "axiom" which is the case. 1:35:11, you can set up axiomatic systems that reach contradictory conclusions is what the student is getting at. 1:35:58, this is the Aristotelian assumptions though. Previous philosophers, lecturer was able to jump in and out of the world view with ease but there seems to be a real difficulty in separating the world view of Aristotle with his own.
