Note 155 — Chapter XXIX · SOPHISTES — POLITIKUS. (continued 2)

See the remarks in Aristotel. Metaphys. Γ. 1005, b. 2, 1006, a. 6. He calls it ἀπαιδευσία — ἀπαιδευσία τῶν ἀναλυτικῶν — not to be able to distinguish those matters which can be proved and require to be proved, from those matters which are true, but require no proof and are incapable of being proved. But this distinction has been one of the grand subjects of controversy from his day down to the present day; and between different schools of philosophers, none of whom would allow themselves to deserve the epithet of ἀπαίδευτοι.

Aristotle calls Antisthenes and his followers ἀπαίδευτοι, in the passage cited in the preceding note.
