Problem solved, thanks to everyone and especially to Uwe for all the help. It turned out that some of the Babel files had the wrong permissions (root ownership with 400). How it happened is beyond my comprehension.

Cheers,

Stefano

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately I am still unable to compile the file, even after the changes you suggested.
I am more and more convinced that the problem is with the overall LaTeX + jurabib installation

I am totally lost now. I enclose the short file below.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I installed the file "iso-8859-7.def" in the directory

\texmf\tex\latex\greek

, ran texhash, and restarted Lyx.
Your file compiles now without errors when I delete the endnote command.
Looking further brings up the solution for the endnotes problem:


write
\let\footnote\endnote
instead of
\let\footnote=\endnote

I attached the fixed file.

Methodological and lexical problems
\layout Comment

Here is where I say why it is correct, for my own purposes, to start from
Categories' discussion of
\emph on
poiein
\emph default
and
\emph on
paskhein
\emph default
as a clue toward a better understanding of the phenomenology of
passivity.
I wish to point out, basically: (1) that I accept the view that the categories
are ontological---i.e.
they name fundamental ways of being, and not just semantical, i.e.
ways of talking about beings.
Now it might well be the case that it is more correct to assume the latter
view, I do not really care.
For my purposes, it is more productive to assume the ontological reading
which is also supported by recent scholarship; (2) I am not concerned about
the issue about a unifying principle in categories, i.e.
about whether they can be derived from a principle, etc.becasue I am not
primarily concerned with the unity and consistence of (what I have assumed
to be) Aristotle's ontology.
Since my analysis is fully focused on only 2 out the 10 categories I am
free to disregard the overall consistency/unity problem.
I am concerned, however with the relationships that the two categories
I am looking at might entertain with the other, in particular their possible
reduction to other categories.
So there is a sense in which the general debate (rather, the vexed question)
about the unity of the categories is my concern, but only insofar as it
affects the categories at stake.


\layout Comment

So, in summary I will be assuming the ontological/phenomenological relevance
of Aristotle's analysis ex hypoth.
and try to figure out, mostly with the help of the later commentators,
what Aristotle's discussion of poiein and paskhein can tell us about the
problems with passivity, in particular for what concerns its in/dependence
from other phenomen and its relationship to it.


\layout Standard

However, the existence of different lists has a very marginal relevance
for my analysis of the Aristotelian treatment of passivity.
The discrepancies between the various lists and the clear differences between
universal ontological categories like 'substance' or 'affection' and dubious
ones like, for instance, 'having' and 'being had' have sparked an immense
debate about the unity of the categories and prompted many philosophers
and commentators to try to find the principles by which a set of categories
should be given.
This
\emph on
vexata quaestio
\emph default
was well known since antiquity and resurfaces periodically in the secondary
literature on Aristotle.
An associated and even more important and vexed question concerns the metaphysi
cal status of the categories themselves and their possible conflict with
the ontology Aristotle develops in
\emph on
Metaphysics
\emph default
, most prominently in books
\emph on
Zeta
\emph default
and
\emph on
(
\emph default
for what concerns our presents interests)
\emph on
Theta
\emph default
.
Do categories name ways of being, or words we use to refer to
\layout Standard


It is important to stress that I am
\emph on
not
\emph default
pretending to make any contribution to this debate.
In other words, I am not trying to determine whether the category of passivity
fits well with the other categories he lists, and what this fit or lack
thereof would teach us about the categories as a whole, their possible
generating principles, their theoretical status, etc.
Rather, I am interested in determining whether Aristotle's treatment of
the category of passivity may provide a concrete help in getting a better
understanding of the phenomenon itself.
