I don't know a lot about Wittgenstein, but Aristotle was terribly profound 
indeed. A few examples: "All men by nature desire to know. This is evident in 
the delight men take in their senses." Humans are political animals; anyone who 
isn't is either a beast or a god. The specific difference subsumes all genetic 
differences. Being is "pros hen" equivocity toward form. Got anything 
comparable from Derrida?
