The Aristotelian distinction between actual and potential presence of a substance in a mixture forms part of a conception of mixture which stands in contrast to atomist and Stoic theories as propounded by the ancients. But the central ideas on which these theories are built needn’t be combined and opposed to one another in precisely the ways envisaged by these ancient theories. This is well-ill...

This paper outlines new paradigms for real analysis and computability theory in the recently proposed non-Aristotelian finitary logic (NAFL). Constructive real analysis in NAFL (NRA) is accomplished by a translation of diagrammatic concepts from Euclidean geometry into an extension (NPAR) of the NAFL version of Peano Arithmetic (NPA). Such a translation is possible because NPA proves the existe...

Efforts to include women in the canon have long been beset by reactionary gatekeeping, typified charge “That's not philosophy.” That doesn't apply early and mid-analytic female philosophers—Welby, Ladd-Franklin, Bryant, Jones, de Laguna, Stebbing, Ambrose, MacDonald—with job titles like lecturer logic professor of philosophy publications Mind, Journal Philosophy, Proceedings Aristotelian Societ...

Abstract To be an Aristotelian about universals is to hold that depend for their existence on exemplifiers. An argument against Aristotelianism has recently been put forward by Costa the effect a contradiction follows from assuming certain formulation of together with some highly plausible principles governing notions employed in formulation. In this paper, we provide different ways articulatin...

Combining and relating logical diagrams is a relatively new area of study in the community people who work on Aristotelian diagrams. Most attempts now have been ad hoc. In this paper I outline more systematic research program inspired by category-theoretic perspective. As concerns diagrams, will mainly focus Demey–Smessaert tradition.

Most of the traditional problems in the philosophy of mathematics arise, in 6 James Franklin’s words, out of the ‘oscillation between Platonism and nomi7 nalism, as if those were the only alternatives’ (p. 11). In An Aristotelian Re8 alist Philosophy of Mathematics Franklin develops a tantalizing alternative to 9 these approaches by arguing that at least some mathematical universals exist 10 in...
