The present research focuses on Aristotle's Metaphysics Z17, analysing the impact of Aristotle's philosophy of science on the investigation of the substances. More specifically, the aim is to investigate the relevance of this methodology - the triadic model of causal explanation, originally developed in the Posterior Analytics II -, in the central books of the Metaphysics (mainly, Z17 and…
The project aims to face the epistemic injustice (Fricker 2007) on two women philosophers from the early modern period on their treatment of action and freedom. A conceptual articulation throughout history is proposed, between the thoughts of these women philosophers, around themes and foundational problems of modern philosophy: the epistemic and practical challenges derivatives of the in…
In the Posterior Analytics, after having exposed, in book A, his investigation on scientific knowledge and its expression through demonstration, Aristotle presents, in book B, how and if it is possible to have demonstration and definition of the same object. After going through several puzzles between the section of chapters B.3-7, Aristotle develops in B.8 an interpretation about this in…
Aristotle's ethical theory contains a sort of particularism that does not deny the universality of good, since there is a supreme good that every men should search for, in their every action. However, although there is a universal good, his ethical theory is not capable of giving the moral agent a set of pratical rules that are able to embrace all the possible, many and unpredictable, par…
The present project aims at revisiting a number of central notions and debates in the philosophy of language which have occupied the mainstream philosophical scene during the last century.More specifically, I shall reassess the internalism/externalism debate about meaning and reference, starting from a new point of view on epistemic logic inspired and derived from (and also semantically e…
Science (episteme) is understood by Aristotle as a demonstrative knowledge, i.e. a kind of knowledge that can be expressed through a deductive discourse (logos) based on assumptions which are necessary but indemonstrable. The demonstration, which characterizes science, is regarded by the philosopher as a kind of deduction: a scientific deduction (syllogismon epistemonikon). Deduction (sul…

In this project, we intend to analyze two of the main difficulties that emerge from the hylomorphic analysis of the sensible substances in Aristotle's Metaphysics VII.17, namely: i) the problem of hylomorphic predication; ii) the problem of the unity of hylomorphic compounds. Our aim is to better comprehend its implications on the investigation of substance (¿Pï±) in the central books of…
The relationship between demonstration and definition in Aristotle's Posterior Analytics (APo) is our focus area in research. We have identified not just formal problems but also issues concerning how these practices (especially definitional ones) involve notions of investigation and scientific procedure that constitute pre-theoretical steps for their success. In APo B.1-2, when presentin…
This research project is a subsidiary to a broader project1, on the conceptual foundations of action and freedom in the early modern period. The study has a dialogical trait as a methodological perspective that stems, firstly, from a possible theory of mind articulated to one of action and deliberation, in the order of the knowledge of the essence of immaterial substance in Elisabeth of B…
