The Grammar and Logic of Oneness and Number at the Beginning of the Twelfth Century
The study of the interdependence of grammar and logic at the beginning of the twelfth century is a difficult subject and progress here has been slow. With the recent publication of the Notae Dunelmenses , however, we are now able to see rather more clearly how closely the two disciplines were bound to one another. The following article draws upon this newly published material and on unpublished material from contemporary commentaries on Aristotle…
Instantiae and the Parisian Schools
Perhaps the most frustrating aspect of studying the logic of the twelfth-century Parisian schools, something to a great extent made possible by the work of Sten Ebbesen, is the development there of a strategy of producing and multiplying, endlessly so it seems, various kinds of argument known as instantiae . The discussion of instantiae in Ebbesen Anonymus Cantabrigiensis (AC) is brief but it can provide us with a tool to begin to understand the …
‘They had added not a single tiny proposition’: The Reception of the Prior Analytics in the First Half of the Twelfth Century
A study of the reception of Aristotle’s Prior Analytics in the first half of the twelfth century. It is shown that Peter Abaelard was perhaps acquainted with as much as the first seven chapters of Book I of the Prior Analytics but with no more. The appearance at the beginning of the twelfth century of a short list of dialectical loci which has puzzled earlier commentators is explained by noting that this list formalises the classification of exte…
The logical textbooks and their influence
Introduction The time at which Boethius wrote was not a great one in the history of logic and he himself was certainly not a great logician. His importance lies rather in acting as an intermediary between the logicians of antiquity and the those of the Middle Ages. ...
School‐based management and citizen participation: Lessons for public education from local educational projects
This article analyses changes that have occurred in the elementary education system in Mexico since 1992 when an administrative de‐concentration process took place. This process was accompanied by legal modifications that created opportunities for social participation in public elementary schools affairs. As a result, some school communities in collaboration with non‐governmental organizations and diverse interest groups created networks to devel…
Self-Knowledge and Cognitive Ascent: Thomas Aquinas and Peter Olivi on the KK–THESIS
Race, Political Empowerment, and Constituency Service: Descriptive Representation and the Hiring of African-American Congressional Staff
Do democratic legislators, African-American legislators, and/or legislators from black-majority districts hire a higher proportion of district staff that are African-American? Legal experts and policymakers are engaged in discussions over the efficacy of districts with significant African-American populations in the wake of the extension of portions of the Voting Rights Act. With the Act's extension, critics have planned to file suit against dist…
Formal Consequence in Scotus and Ockham: Towards an Account of Scotus’ Logic
Le colloque «Duns Scot à Paris, 1302-2002» (2-4 septembre 2002) a commémoré le sept centième anniversaire de l’arrivée, à l’Université de Paris, de Jean Duns Scot, l’une des rares dates connues dans la vie du plus grand philosophe et théologien du tournant des XIIIe et XIVe siècles. Il a permis de faire le point des dernières découvertes historiques et philologiques, et de donner un état des recherches scotistes en cours, qui ont connu un essor r…
Logic
A great deal of Peter Abelard's writing is concerned with what he regarded as logic, but which we would now classify as ontology or philosophical semantics. Following Cicero and Boethius, Abelard holds that properly speaking the study of logic has to do with the discovery and evaluation of arguments (LI Isag. 3.10). A necessary preliminary for this is an examination of the issues dealt with by Porphyry in the Isagoge and by Aristotle in the Categ…
Mass Education, Privatisation, Compensation and Diversification: Issues on the future of public education in Mexico
The corrosion of public education in Mexico by institutional rigidities and decades of underfunding have placed the system in severe crisis. The rich have opted out and the poor are dropping out of it. The failure of incomplete and politically decentralisations to address poor quality and persistent inequalities have resulted in widespread applause for special compensatory programmes aimed to reach the most underprivileged students. This article …
Non-Reductive Arguments from Impossible Hypotheses in Boethius and Philoponus
Logjcjans in the twentieth century, like their predecessors in the twelfth, have argued with great heat over the proper account of conditional assertions, and in recent years relevantist logicians have proposed that the prevailing modal logic of the schools should be replaced with a logic which does not bring with it the so-called paradoxes of implication. In the twelfth century the debate proceeded in just the opposite direction as reJevantist t…

Back to Basics Mexican Style: Radical Catholicism and Survival on the Margins1
The significance of radical Catholic movements among the urban poor in Latin American cities has been the subject of much debate over recent years, though Mexican cases have received less attention. This paper argues that their practical, material objectives cannot be understood in isolation from the holistic religious and moral community in which participants project for themselves. It is also argued that the social justice sought within the bas…

The Logic of Negation in Boethius
Boethius' de Hypotheticis Syllogismis is by far the most extensive account of the conditional and its logic to have survived from antiquity. A rather obscure and tedious work, it has puzzled commentators from Peter Abaelard to Jonathan Barnes. Most of the difficulties that they have had in extracting the principles of Boethian logic seem to me to follow from the assumption that what he offers is an account of the application of propositional oper…

John Buridan on Self-Reference: Chapter Eight of Buridan's Sophismata: With a Translation, an Introduction, and a Philosophical Commentary
John Buridan was a fourteenth-century philosopher who enjoyed an enormous reputation for about two hundred years, was then totally neglected, and is now being 'rediscovered' through his relevance to contemporary work in philosophical logic. The final chapter of Buridan's Sophismata deals with problems about self-reference, and in particular with the semantic paradoxes. He offers his own distinctive solution to the well-known 'Liar Paradox' and in…
