189The transcendentals in the middle ages: An introductionTopoi 11 (2): 113-120. 1992.Although most predicates may be truthfully predicated of only some beings, there are others that seem to apply to every being. The latter, including being itself, were known as the transcendentals in the Middle Ages and gave rise to the much disputed doctrine of the transcendentals. This article explores the main tenets of the doctrine and the difficulties that they face, the reasons why scholastic authors were interested in these issues, and the origins of the doctrine.

47Are Categories Invented or Discovered? A Response to FoucaultReview of Metaphysics 55 (1). 2001.IN A PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS I believe the speaker is allowed more latitude than in a more ordinary speech. There is more freedom to explore and perhaps even preach. So I am going to do a bit of both. My chapter and verse, some of you will be surprised to know, is a passage from the preface to Foucault’s The Order of Things, in which he argues that categories are a matter of invention. This text has had enormous impact on the issue I wish to address today, and in many ways has helped to define it a…Read more

32Individuals as InstancesReview of Metaphysics 37 (1). 1983.INDIVIDUALITY has given philosophers considerable trouble.

Indeed, even a view which at first sight appears quite innocuous, defining individuality formally as a feature whic…Read more
