But when two adult out-of-towners arrive, it upends everything and starts a sort of mini rebellion in the super religious community. In it, a dark entity living within a Nebraska cornfield called “He Who Walks Behind the Rows” possesses children to murder all the adults in the area.

The existence of the Metaphysics threatens this interpretation of Aristotle, however, because it seems to be an account of being-it implies, therefore, that Aristotle thinks we can attain wisdom, and not merely seek it. Political philosophy, as the search for the best regime, is not programmatic, therefore, but critical insofar as it shows us the flaws in any regime.
