  • The Study of Logic and Language in England in the Early 17th Century

    John A TrentmanARTICLEHistoriographia Linguistica1976Cited by: 5References: 2

    Round the turn of the seventeenth century there was a revival of interest in and sympathy for scholastic and Aristotelian philosophy in the English universities. To some extent this meant a continuation of traditions that had never died out, but it also meant a conscious rejection of anti-Aristotelian doctrines like those of Ramus. Fortunately, we have good contemporary evidence of the sorts of authors recommended for study in the early 17th cent…

  • Americanization: The Problem of Measurement

    ARCHIE MALLOCH, John A Trentman et al.ARTICLECanadian Review of American Studies1970Cited by: 1

    While sharing the alarm recently expressed by a number of our colleagues over the apparently rapid Americanization of Canadian universities, we are bound to point out that in one respect at least the exposition of the problem has been unacceptably crude. The statistics offered by Profes­sors Mathews, Steele, Dudek and MacLennan are cast in terms of "Canadians," "Americans,' and "others." Now it may be that in order to call public attention to the…

    Open AccessJohn A Trentman, John TrentmanARTICLEDialogue1968References: 1

It evidences his usual combination of serious medieval scholarship, acumen in modern logic, and insight into the subtleties of logical problems new and old. It also demonstrates…

  • Unrecognized Particulars: A Reply to Mr. Barber

    Open AccessJohn A Trentman, John TrentmanARTICLEDialogue1967

    Mr Barber has admirably understood what he calls my first argument. Unfortunately, he thinks it does not succeed in demonstrating that the phenomenological argument Jbr the existence of bare particulars is circular. Or, rather, he thinks t he phenomeno-logical argument need not be taken in the way I suggested but can be put so that my argument will not apply to it. His attempted phenomenological rejuvenation of the putative acquaintance with bare…

  • Recognition, Naming and Bare Particulars

    Open AccessJohn A Trentman, John TrentmanARTICLEDialogue1966References: 1

    In a recent discussion of the notion of substance Miss Anscombe points out that the following three doctrines are very closely associated: the doctrine that proper names lack all connotation, are mere labels, the view that there is nothing essential to the individual, and the doctrine that individuals are bare particulars with no properties in and of themselves. In this article as well as in other writings she rejects all three of these doctrines…
