He ably reviews and defends Aristotle’s distinctions between actuality and potentiality, form and matter, and the four causes. Feser favors Aristotle’s version of realism, according to which universals do not exist in their own realm, but only in things and in minds. We do not need to accept Plato’s theory, observes Feser, to accept some version of the view that universals, numbers, and propositional truths are distinct from any particular mind or particular material instantiation. Once the pre-Socratics had raised the key issues of change and permanence, the one and the many, and how we know truth, Plato took up these issues through his theory of forms. After a first chapter documenting contemporary ignorance of theistic arguments, Feser undertakes in his second chapter a thumbnail sketch of Greek philosophy from the pre-Socratics through Aristotle. In the preface to this marvelous book, Feser makes clear that he is seeking to reach a general audience with a simple thesis: the modern rejection of Aristotelian philosophy was a grave mistake whose consequences continue to escalate.

Introductionīig Freedia (real name – Freddie Ross), also known as the Queen of Bounce, is an American musician who received her own show on Fuse called ”Big Freedia: Queen of Bounce.” Decades before, she had appeared in a minor role in Murder, She Said, in which Margaret Rutherford played Miss Marple. Joan Hickson, who played Miss Marple, was an octogenarian herself during most of the series' production. With the success of that series, the BBC got the approval to produce the stories of one of Christie's most famous detectives.

Producer Pat Sandys of LWT first approached Pritchard and the Christie estate with a researched, detailed plan to film the novels Why Didn't They Ask Evans? and The Seven Dials Mystery in the early 1980s. Christie had never been very happy with most filmed adaptations of her works, and according to her grandson Mathew Pritchard, who handled her estate after her death, "did not care much for television" either.
