Substances, Accidents, And Kinds: Some Remarks On Aristotle's Theory Of Predication, Frank A. Lewis
Substances, Accidents, And Kinds: Some Remarks On Aristotle's Theory Of Predication, Frank A. Lewis
The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter
A major feature of Aristotle's strategy against Plato in the Categories is to collapse the dichotomy that Plato's theory of (metaphysical) predication attempts to make between forms and sensibles. In Aristotle's theory, Socrates IS some of his predicables, but HAS others. He IS what is essential to him, and HAS the rest. These different relations between Socrates and his various predicables form a large part of the motivation for the further ontological distinctions that Aristotle draws in the Categories.

Parmenides On Naming By Mortal Men: Fr. B8.53ff. Vs, Leonard Woodbury
The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter
"They made up their minds to name two forms / Of which it is not right to name one, that is where they have erred." In the flickering of light and darkness that men recognise in what is the effect of their own actions there is discovered a kind of being, but one divided and turned against itself in contradiction.
Predication And Immanence: Anaxagoras, Plato, Eudoxus, And Aristotle, Russell M. Dancy
Predication And Immanence: Anaxagoras, Plato, Eudoxus, And Aristotle, Russell M. Dancy

A theory of predication invokes immanence if it explains why snow is white by introducing something that is in snow that accounts for its being white. Aristotle's theory of predication in the Categories is partly immanentist, see Cat. 2, 1a24-25. My object here is to shed some indirect light on this passage. I suggest that the comment is a disclaimer responding to an immanentist theory of predication under discussion in the Academy, according to which the something that is immanent in snow that makes it white is a physical ingredient. This theory was an idea of Eudoxus'. Aristotle was sympathetic …

Dryden's Virgil: Some Special Aspects Of The First Folio Edition, Arthur W. Hoffman
Dryden's Virgil: Some Special Aspects Of The First Folio Edition, Arthur W. Hoffman
The Courier
This article relates the history of John Dryden's translation of Vergil's Aeneid, a first folio edition of which is located at Syracuse University Special Collections. Dryden's translation, written in seventeenth century England, reflected the tense polticial environment of the times, and competed with several translations from other writers.

Is agathon a pros hen equivocal? EN does not unambiguously endorse this idea, and it is difficult to defend. EE remains silent on the question.

Euripides And The Decline Of Character: A Soap Opera Connection, Emily A. Mcdermott
Euripides And The Decline Of Character: A Soap Opera Connection, Emily A. Mcdermott
Classics Faculty Publication Series
To the Greeks of the fifth century, the heroes and heroines of myth, the villains and villainesses--even the sorcerers and monsters--were figures from history, or at least historical legend. Surely the sophisticated Athenian of the fifth century did not believe in a literal interpretation of Scylla and Charybdis any more than we do, nor that Odysseus actually underwent every single setback and adventure retailed in the Odyssey. But, just as surely, he believed that there had been an Odysseus, just as implicitly as we believe in George Washington or Richard the Lion-Hearted. Unlike us, however, he also had an intimate …
Ideals And Obligations In Plato's Ethics, Julius M.E. Moravcsik
Ideals And Obligations In Plato's Ethics, Julius M.E. Moravcsik
The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter
This paper has two main claims: First, it will argue that most of what is usually interpreted as Plato's ethics is concerned primarily with the establishing a Substantive Theory of the Good. Secondly, it will be shown that Plato's link between his STG and matters of obligation is a very close one, and cannot be analyzed along either utilitarian or Kantian lines.
Theophrastus On Emotion, William W. Fortenbaugh
Theophrastus On Emotion, William W. Fortenbaugh
The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter
While Aristotle's treatment of emotion has in recent years received considerable attention, Theophrastus' work on the same subject has been mostly ignored. The reason for this neglect is that the relevant material has not been readily accessible, but with the publication of my Quellen zur Ethik Theophrasts that obstacle has been largely removed. Texts whose primary focus is emotional response have been brought together under the heading "Affecte" (L1-L11) and other relevant texts are included elsewhere in the volume. My purpose here is to call attention to this material and to use it to advance our understanding of Peripatetic work …
