In his teachings and through his choice of the dialogue-form as a
mode of communication, Plato emphasized the communal aspect of
intellectual work. The need for having a community work together is
nowhere more apparent then when the intellectual task set is that
of interpreting the ancient philosophers. Those of us who were
fortunate enough to spend some of our years as students at Oxford
found that among our most inspiring experiences were the meetings
of the Oxford Aristotelian So ciety, as well as the seminars in
which B.PhiI. students discussed Plato and Aristotle. Up until the
past few years no such group existed on the West Coast. In the fall
of 1970 some of us got together to form the West Coast Greek
Philosophy Conference, which was within a short time renamed by
Prof. T. Rosenmeyer as 'the Aristotelians of the West,
Unincorporated'. In our monthly meetings we translate and discuss
Greek philosophic texts. For the past two years the group has been
working on Aristotle's 'Physics'."
