A ‘Philosophical Hero’? Anaxagoras and the Eleatics
My title invokes a splendid image from David Furley: ‘My picture of Anaxagoras is of a kind of Ajax among the Presocratics, unable to appreciate the advantages of modern, more flexible ways, and heroically adhering to the strictest interpretation of the Parmenidean code.’ That seems to me excellent, but not sufficiently positive; on the account I shall recommend, Anaxagoras is hero enough, but deep and clever and definitely no thick-witted Ajax.
Substance, Form, and Psyche: An Aristotelean Metaphysics
This book is a re-thinking of Aristotle's metaphysical theory of material substances. The view of the author is that the 'substances' are the living things, the organisms: chiefly, the animals. There are three main parts to the book: Part I, a treatment of the concepts of substance and nonsubstance in Aristotle's Categories; Part III, which discusses some important features of biological objects as Aristotelian substances, as analysed in Aristotl…
Aristotle's biological universe: An overview
The following is taken from an extended work on Aristotle's theory of material substances that is forthcoming from Cambridge University Press. The course of developments leading up to the present extract is, briefly and roughly, as follows. Part I of the work (§§1–5) deals with the metaphysical theory of substance in the Categories, which is a considerably simplified and scaled-down version of the complete theory as found in various other writing…
Philosophical Issues in Aristotle's Biology
Aristotle's biological works - constituting over 25% of his surviving corpus and for centuries largely unstudied by philosophically oriented scholars - have been the subject of an increasing amount of attention of late. This collection brings together some of the best work that has been done in this area, with the aim of exhibiting the contribution that close study of these treatises can make to the understanding of Aristotle's philosophy. The bo…

A Note on Aristotle's Principle of Non-Contradiction
In what follows I will say little if anything about the animadversions vis-à-vis Irwin and Lukasiewicz and Owen, because there is so much of such greater interest in what Code has told us about Aristotle, the great preponderance of which, in my opinion, is true (that is, true about Aristotle). I will review some of this truth, specify one place where I have trouble reconciling his account with the evidence, and then try to give a better account t…
Elements of Eleatic Ontology
Elements of Eleatic Ontology' MONTGOMERY FURTH THE TASKOF AN INTERPRETERof Parmenides is to find the simplest, historically most plausible, and philosophically most comprehensible set of assumptions that imply (in a suitably loose sense) the doctrine of 'being' set out in Parmenides' poem. In what follows I offer an interpretation that certainly is simple and that I think should be found comprehensible. Historically, only more cautious claims are…
