Johansen argues that DA occupies a foundational place in Aristotle's biology: in seeking “to gain knowledge of the soul by defining its essence...

...Irene Appelbaum A less overt but potentially thornier conflict occurs in chapters 7 and 8, regarding what evidence is needed to secure the central thesis that perceptual awareness is richly or constitutively multimodal. As noted above, there are three principal candidates: intermodal feature...

... to inspire. The book's seven chapters fall naturally into three groups, each with its own distinctive central topic. These are the ontological argument and the necessity of God's being (chapters 1 and 2); the necessity of everything actual and the actuality of everything possible (chapters 3 and 4...

... + = 4 ’. This is all just noise. As the Zhuangzi puts it (chapter 2), it is all just the world piping, like the screech of an owl, or the sound of waves. Let us turn, finally, to 3. DR recognizes the situation he is in: “A view so radical as to deny, as Parmenides and I do, that there are any...

Chapters 1–5 address Kant’s views in his stages of development prior to the first Critique , with a focus on various forms of compatibilism which Allison reads Kant as endorsing at those points. Chapter 1...

In part 1, Watkins presents his generic concept of law. Chapter 1 explains that there are two essential properties...

Second, does form explain the cen- tral features of c-substances, a claim of strong compatibilism? Wedin argues convincingly that in Book Z...

...Kenneth P. Winkler The First Dialogue looms especially large in Dicker's interpretation of Berkeley; the chapter devoted to it is by far the longest in the book. Only in the First Dialogue, Dicker argues, does Berkeley defend a “foundational premise” that he takes for granted in the opening...
