1. Green, Christopher D.; The Thoroughly Modern Aristotle: Was He Really a Functionalist?: In recent years a debate has developed over whether Aristotle's theory of the psuche is properly characterized as having been "functionalist" in the sense that contemporary computational cognitive scientists claim to be adherents of that position. It is argued here that there are indeed some similarities between Aristotle's theory and that of contemporary functionalists, but that the differences between them make it misleading, at best, for functionalists to look to Aristotle for ancient support. In particular, it is argued that Aristotle would not have -- indeed, specifically did not -- support the claim, central to functionalism, that the mind can, in principle, be transported from one body to another simply by instantiating in the new body some set of organizational properties that were instantiated in the old.

2. Jorion, Paul; La linguistique d'Aristote: The divide between semantics, syntax and logic is absent from Aristotlens linguistics where the progress from concept to discourse is continuous: concepts linked in pairs constitute judgments, judgments linked make clauses, clauses linked amount to discourse. Onens degree of adhesion to onens own speech - from simple quotation to expression of personal belief - constitutes a final coating. Aristotlens linguistics O as it can be abstracted from the six books of the Organon and the Rhetorics - shows the way to an alternative approach to discourse generation dispensing with the obstacles linked with the semantics, syntax, logic divide.

3. Jorion, Paul; What do mathematicians teach us about the World ? An anthropological perspective: The activity of mathematicians is examined here in an anthropological perspective. The task effectively performed reveals that, independently of their own representation, mathematicians produce in actuality a u virtual physics ». The principles of demonstrative proof as described and assessed by Aristotle, are first introduced, displaying a latitude in the demonstrative methodology open to mathematicians, with modes of proof ranging from the compelling to the plausible only. Even such leeway in the matter of proof has been felt at times by mathematicians as an intolerable constraint. The proof by reductio ad absurdum is shown to be by-passable and effectively by-passed by mathematicians. The calculus is examined which Morris Kline characterized both as u the most original and most fruitful concept in all of mathematics » and being plagued by a lack of mathematical rigor. The reason for this is that the world in its very build forced the calculus to be what it became, at times in contradiction with the mathematical code of practice. The mathematician enters the world of mathematics armed with his intuition of how the world at large operates. This he imports within mathematics and designs mathematical objects with an in-built u virtually physical » plausibility. The culture around him is impatient with mathematics which do not find their way to providing models. A double system of constraints, both inner and outer, contribute at making mathematics a u virtual physics ». [Text] [View with Perseus links] (3.43)

1. Dombois, Florian; Uber Erdbeben - Ein Versuch zur Erweiterung seismologischer Darstellungsweisen: (in German) The dissertation in hand is engaged in the understanding and cognition of earthquakes. Essentially it is the attempt to draw near the natural phenomenon and to broaden our conception of it: (i) What actually is an earthquake? What makes it up? Why might it be fascinating? (ii) How were and how are earthquakes depicted in the textual and pictoral tradition in Europe? (iii) How is the form of depiction related to the content 'earthquake'? How does the phenomenon change when the form of depiction is altered? (iv) And last not least: which form seems to be most suitable for the depiction of an earthquake? According to the above questions 16 'earthquake-depictions' are sampled to investigate the relation between form and content. The attempt is made to provide a collection of great diversity in form: Today's usual manner of earthquake depiction is represented by the reaction, the earthquake of Kobe has received (§ 13 seismological article, § 14 press releases, § 15 earthquake simulator in the Natural History Museum London); then there are chosen: two samples of the Old Greek tradition (§ 1 myth of Poseidon, § 2 Aristoteles' 'Meteorologica'), further two from the Roman tradition (§ 3 Seneca's 'Naturales Quaestiones', § 4 'Aetna'), and two from the Christian tradition (§ 5 'Bible', § 6 Thomas Aquinas on Aristotle's 'Meteorologica'); furthermore there are some samples looked upon that show reaction on the Lisbon earthquake of 1755 (§ 8 shocking ballads, § 9 Voltaire, § 10 copper engravings of Le Bas, § 11 Immanuel Kant, § 12 John Michell). Last not least the science fiction novel 'Richter 10' by Clarke and McQuay (§ 16) is examined. Finally I complain that the manner of scientific depiction is 'un-sensual' and disposing. Therefore the dissertation is meant to flow into a counter-project. The last chapter scrutinizes the experience of the investigations before under a wider angle. In consequence I suggest to investigate an acoustical transponation of the earth's movements. An example of the new kind of sound that emerges from that is drawn from a 1994 earthquake in Chile. A range of further considerations show that not only the form of the acoustical transformation seems promising but also its content: far from the mainstream of seismological research the new acoustic form renders the question of earthquake prediction in a unusual but new and fairly easy way. All of this results in me hoping that the releasing of this new form of depiction triggers of a new field of scientific research at the same time. [Text] [View with Perseus links] (0.66)

1. Flach, Peter A.; Abduction and induction: syllogistic and inferential perspectives: Abduction and induction are reasoning forms for drawing conclusions from incomplete information. Induction, i.e. inferring properties of sets of individuals from properties of individuals, was already distinguished by Aristotle, while the term abduction was introduced much later by Peirce for inference of explanations for observed phenomena. Both reasoning forms are presently being studied and applied by researchers in artificial intelligence and logic programming. However, the current views of abduction and induction and their interrelation are problematic, which is mainly caused by the fact that Peirce developed two perspectives on abduction, one based on syllogisms, the other on the underlying inferential pattern. In this paper I argue that both perspectives have their merits but need further formalisation. Furthermore, I propose a formalisation of the inferential perspective. [Text] (1.03)

1. Hunsinger, Jeremy W.; Disciplinary Themes in Aristotle's Political and Ethical Writings: David Barzilai, Mark Gifford, Timothy Luke; (in English) This thesis is an exploratory study of the relationship between Foucault's conception of disciplinary power and the philosophical ideas of ancient Greece as exemplified by Aristotle. Foucault claims that disciplinary power arose only in the 17th and 18th centuries. This thesis demonstrates that there are similarities and parallels between certain facets of Aristotle's ethical and political theory and Foucault's idea of disciplinary power--parallels and similarities sufficiently strong to weaken, if not contradict, Foucault's description of the historical origin of disciplinary power.
