Principles of Nature is a work by a theologian/philosopher from the 13th century named Thomas Aquinas. It is primarily a glossary of terms. He is going to define of a bunch of philosophical-jargon terms so that when you read anything else that he ever wrote you know what words he's using, and you know what his philosophical premises are about these words. In this episode we cover the first nine paragraphs of the 40-some-odd paragraph work. We also focus on defining five specific terms from these paragraphs.

Also in this episode: Banter about deep fried food, sleep schedules, and bears.
