Proceedings of the Boston Area Colloquium in Ancient Philosophy
Volume XXXIII (2017)
Series:
This volume, the thirty-third year of published proceedings, contains four papers and commentaries presented to the Boston Area Colloquium in Ancient Philosophy during academic year 2016-17. Paper topics include: a liarâs paradox in Parmenidesâ Poem centered on the role of the goddess; Aristotelian logic as rooted in natural things, not mental entities, in Posterior Analytics; authorial freedom in Aristotleâs Poetics rooted in the âlikely and necessaryâ; Calliclesâ attack on philosophy as taking away oneâs substance and Socratesâ concurrence to preserve its pursuit of truth and the good in Platoâs Gorgias. The comments do their work in challenging some of these claims and supporting others.
Contributors are Lloyd W. J. Aultman-Moore, Rose Cherubin, Shane Ewegen, Joseph M. Forte, Owen Goldin, Edward C. Halper, Jean-Marc Narbonne and Yale Weiss.
