A Chrysippean Modality
In this paper, I attempt to explain one of the most controversial views attributed to the Stoic Chrysippus: that the impossible can follow from the possible. My solution finds in Chrysippus a distinction later made by the medieval logician John Buridan: that between being possible (there being a state of affairs that may occur) and being possibly-true (there being some proposition whose truth-conditions are that state of affairs). Buridan and Chr…
The Structure of Stoic Metaphysics
This chapter presents a new interpretation of Stoic ontology. It aims to explain the nature of, and relations between the following: the fundamental items of their physics, bodies; the incorporeal items about which they theorized no less; and universals, towards which the Stoic attitude seems to be a bizarre mixture of realism and anti-realism. The first half of the chapter provides a new model to explain the relationship between the first and se…
Platonic Causes Revisited
This paper offers a new interpretation of the notorious section of Plato’s Phaedo , 96a–103a, in which Socrates discourses on the nature of cause and explanation. I offer new reasons for an old account of why Socrates rejects his predecessors’ views wholesale, before turning to a new account of his positive proposals. I steer a path between the two most influential modern approaches to the text by highlighting Socrates’ avowed methodology, arguin…
The Third Man Argument
This paper is a brief discussion of the famous 'Third Man Argument' as it appears in Plato's dialogue Parmenides. I mention, criticise and refine the most influential analytic approach to the argument; show that the actual conclusion of the argument is different from the one attributed to it by the majority of scholars; and elaborate two responses to the argument, both of which shed interesting light on the Theory of Forms
Plato and Aristotle on the Unhypothetical
In the Republic Plato contrasts dialectic with mathematics on the grounds that the former but not the latter gives justifications of some kind for its hypotheses, pursuing this process until it reaches ‘an unhypothetical principle’. But which principles are unhypothetical, and why, is rather dark.
