Chapter 5. Aristotle on the Mind’s Self-Motion
Parmenides’ Grand Deduction
Michael V. Wedin presents a new interpretation of Parmenides' 'Way of truth': the most important philosophical treatise before the work of Plato and Aristotle. The 'Way of truth' contains the first extended philosophical argument in the western tradition-an argument which decrees that there can be no motion, change, growth, coming to be, or destruction; and indeed that there can be only one thing. These severe metaphysical theses are established …

Aristotle on the Impossibility of Anaximander’s apeiron
In On Generation and Corruption , Aristotle rejects the very possibility of such a thing as Anaximander’s apeiron . Characterized as a kind of intermediate stuff, the apeiron turns out to consist of contraries and as such is impossible. Commentators have rightly noted this point and some have also indicated that Aristotle offers an argument of sorts for his negative estimate. However, the argument has received scant attention, and it is fair to s…
Aristotle on the Firmness of the Principle of Non-Contradiction
In Metaphysics Gamma 3 Aristotle declares that the philosopher investigates things that are qua things that are and that he therefore should be able to state the firmest principles of everything. The firmest principle of all is identified as the principle of non-contradiction (PNC). The main focus of Gamma 3 is Aristotle's proof for this identification. This paper begins with remarks about Aristotle's notion of the firmness of a principle and the…
Aristotle's Theory of Substance
The Categories and Metaphysics Zeta (Book VII) are often thought to be incompatible because each posits different candidates for the title of primary substance or ousia. In the Categories, primary substance is the concrete individual thing, while in Zeta, it is the form or essence of the individual thing, which is now understood as a composite of form and matter. In this book, Wedin rejects the thesis of incompatibilism, and in its stead argues t…
Aristotle's Theory of Substance
Some Logical Problems in Metaphysics Gamma
Metaphysics I’ 4 opens with a reference to persons who (a) say (cpaai) that it is possible for the same thing to be and not to be and (b) hold things to be the case in just this way (v1roAaμ,(3avELV oihw,).1 Certain of the writers on nature are said to ‘make use of this thesis’ (xpwvrni Tl(J :\6yqi). The thesis in question is presumably (a), and so (b) probably adverts to specific claims that violate the principle of non-contradiction, claims of …

Aristotle on how to define a psychological state
Keeping the Matter in Mind
Content and Cause in the Aristotelian Mind
Nonsubstantial Individuals
The Origins of Aristotelian Science
Mind and Imagination in Aristotle
Negation and quantification in aristotle
Two main claims are defended. The first is that negative categorical statements are not to be accorded existential import insofar as they figure in the square of opposition. Against Kneale and others, it is argued that Aristotle formulates his o statements, for example, precisely to avoid existential commitment. This frees Aristotle's square from a recent charge of inconsistency. The second claim is that the logic proper provides much thinner evi…

Aristotle on the Existential Import of Singular Sentences
Aristotle is sometimes held to the thesis [Ti] that singular affirmative sentences imply the existence of a bearer for the grammatical subject of the sentence. Thus the truth of Socrates is sick requires that something exist which is identical with Socrates. Attribution of TI to Aristotle can be justified by appeal to Categories 13 b 27-33 which seems to contain a straightforward statement of the thesis. Unfortunately, T I's status becomes proble…
