  • A Unified Moral Terrain

    Open AccessStephen EversonARTICLEJournal of Ethics and Social…2007

    In his book What We Owe to Each Other, Thomas Scanlon proposes what he calls a "contractualist" explanation of what he describes as "a central part of the territory called morality," i.e. our duties to other rational creatures. If Scanlon is right, the fact that another creature is rational generates a particular kind of moral constraint on how we may act towards it: one should "treat rational creatures only in ways that would be allowed by princ…

  • Epicurean psychology

    Open AccessStephen EversonCHAPTERThe Cambridge history of…1999

    In an age which has produced much agonizing over how to reconcile the life of the mind with a materialist physics, we are likely to feel an immediate affinity with an earlier theorist who combined the project of explaining human psychology with a commitment to the claim that 'the totality of things is bodies and void' (Epistula ad Herodotum 39). In common with the vast majority of modern psychologists and philosophers of mind, Epicurus was commit…

    A full account of the philosophy of the Greek and Roman worlds from the last days of Aristotle (c.320 BC) until 100 BC. Hellenistic philosophy, for long relatively neglected and unappreciated, has over the last decade been the object of a considerable amount of scholarly attention. Now available in paperback, this 1999 volume is a general reference work which pulls the subject together and presents an overview. The History is organised by subject…

  • Aristotle on Perception

    Stephen EversonBOOKAristotle on perception1999

    In this book, Stephen Everson offers a comprehensive investigation of Aristotle's account of perception. Everson explains how Aristotle accounts for our ability to perceive such things as colours and sounds, as well as material objects. Everson has two main aims: the first is to place Aristotle's theory of mind within the context of his natural science, in particular, to show that Aristotle's account of perception is an application of the explana…

  • Aristotle on Perception

  • The Incoherence of Thrasymachus

    Stephen EversonCHAPTEROxford Studies in Ancient…1998

    The ability to find sound and interesting arguments in philosophical texts is perhaps the historian of philosophy’s central skill-and the greater is the appearance of inconsistency, invalidity, or simple silliness in a text, the greater is the skill demonstrated in showing that it in fact contains a compelling argument for an interesting conclusion. It is natural enough, then, that the confrontation between Socrates and Thrasymachus in the first …

  • Aristotle on the Foundations of the State

    Open AccessStephen EversonARTICLEPolitical Studies1988Cited by: 5

    Aristotle's Politics shows an apparent tension between a recognition of the desirability of individual liberty and his claim that ‘none of the citizens belongs to himself but all belong to the state’. We can start to resolve that tension by considering Aristotle's doctrine of man as a political animal. Artistotle offers a particular account of the nature of man according to which his specifically human capacities cannot be realized outside of the…
