Aristotle on Nature and Incomplete Substance
Aristotle on Nature and Incomplete Substance
This book examines Aristotle's metaphysics and his account of nature, stressing the ways in which his desire to explain observed natural processes shaped his philosophical thought. It departs radically from a tradition of interpretation, in which Aristotle is understood to have approached problems with a set of abstract principles in hand, principles derived from critical reflection on the views of his predecessors. A central example of the book …
Hylomorphism and Functionalism
Myles Burnyeat, Laurence Professor of Ancient Philosophy at Cambridge University, disputes functionalist interpretations of Aristotle. Moreover, he contends that a correct understanding of Aristotle’s philosophy of mind leads to the realization that the only thing to do with it is to reject it. This essay argues that Burnyeat has failed to refute either Aristotle or his functionalist interpreters.
Aristotle On Elemental Motion
L'A. souleve le probleme theorique du mouvement des elements chez Aristote, en tant qu'il doit obeir a la fois au mouvement naturel defini dans le livre VIII de la «Physique», et a la necessite d'une cause interne de ce mouvement, en vertu de la conception d'un principe interne regissant la nature, tel qu'il est defini au livre II de la «Physique»
Aristotle on the Principle of Non-Contradiction
Not the least among the many puzzling features of the fourth book of Aristotle's Metaphysics is his discussion of the Principle of Non-Contradiction (hereafter ‘PNC’). Even leaving aside the obvious difficulty of determining what his arguments succeed in showing about PNC, we face the more fundamental problem of figuring out what he takes them to show. For he proceeds in such a way as to suggest that he is not always completely clear about what h…
Aristotle and Individuation
One of the roles of matter in Aristotle's philosophy, according to well-established historical tradition, is to provide a principle of individuation. This tradition has been challenged from time to time. Some historians, noting that it is form rather than matter that wears the metaphysical trousers for Aristotle, have tried to give form the role of providing a principle of individuation. Others have suggested that there is no such principle at al…
Aristotle's Doctrine of the Material Substrate
For a quarter of a century Aristotle's interpreters have disagreed over Aristotle's doctrine of matter. One school, which counts among its members Hugh R. King, W. Charlton, and Barrington Jones, holds that Aristotle is not committed to prime matter. I The other side, which includes Friedrich Solmsen, H. M. Robinson, and Russell Dancy, holds that Aristotle is committed to prime matter.2 The issue has been put with admirable clarity by Robinson
St. Thomas Aquinas on the Immaterial Reception of Sensible Forms
A ccording to St. Thomas there are two ways in which a thing It can receive a sensible form (Summa Theologiae, la, 78, A3).1 First, a thing can receive a sensible form according to a natural mode of being (esse naturale), heat in the thing heated. In this case the thing receiving the form acquires the form as a characteristic: the rock, receiving heat naturally, becomes hot. But sensation requires another mode of reception: otherwise all natural …
Plato’s Method of Division
Socrates on the Definition of Piety
Socrates on the Definition of Piety: Euthyphro10A- 11B S. MARC COHEN PLATO'S Et~rt~reHRo is a clear example of a Socratic definitional dialogue. The concept to be defined is that of holiness or piety (z6 r the need for a definition is presented in a manner characteristic of the early dialogues. Euthyphro is about to prosecute his father on a charge of murder, Socrates expresses surprise at Euthyphro's action, and Euthyphro defends himself by sayi…

Toward the Development of Dialectics
HAS been our experience that many scientists sympathetic to Marxist ideas feel that they cannot in practice use dialectics although at an abstract level they agree with many of its formulations. We do not think this difficulty is essentially due to the scientists. Rather, we feel that it results from the fact that dialectics has been relatively insulated from scientific work in recent years with a resulting increase in unclarity and lack of devel…
