Aristotelian Rationality
Anselm Müller, University of Trier
12:05 pm, 817R Cathedral of Learning
Abstract: We may attribute to Aristotle an account
of rationality that is centered around the idea of GROUNDS. Grounds
determine, in different ways, both the subject matter and the teleological
constitution of any inference. What Aristotle says about this with
regard to theoretical inference invites us to revise, in some ways,
his account of practical reasoning.
