Aristotle's Teleology: Aristotle’s Teleology
Teleology is the study of ends and goals, things whose existence or occurrence is purposive. Aristotle’s views on teleology are of seminal importance, particularly his views regarding biological functions or purposes. This article surveys core examples of Aristotle’s invocations of teleology; explores philosophically puzzling aspects of teleology (including their normativity and the fact that ends can, apparently, act as causes despite never comi…
The Ontology of Aristotle's Final Cause
Modern philosophy is, for what appear to be good reasons, uniformly hostile to sui generis final causes. And motivated to develop philosophically and scientifically plausible interpretations, scholars have increasingly offered reductivist and eliminitivist accounts of Aristotle's teleological commitment. This trend in contemporary scholarship is misguided. We have strong grounds to believe Aristotle accepted unreduced sui generis teleology, and r…
On teaching AI and expert systems courses
The experiences of faculty members from departments of engineering, mathematics, and computer science throughout the United States and Puerto Rico who came together for three weeks to discuss effective ways to teach artificial intelligence to undergraduates are outlined. The paper describes the rationale for the development of three main topic areas: artificial intelligence, expert systems, and symbolic and logic programming, and it includes syll…
