This article reconstructs how acts of quick-wittedness—obtaining the middle term of a deduction via a fast non-discursive process—are possible according to Aristotle. I show that quick-witted people think all the steps that APr. i 27-30 lays out, but that they do not think about them in the way non-quick-witted people...

I will defend the position that trinitarian metaphysics relying on a strict theory of divine simplicity has a significant ecumenical advantage over other approaches to trinitarian theology. Specifically, it can help us resolve disputes around the
