82Relation and object in Plato's approach to knowledgeTheoria 53 (2-3): 141-159. 1987.THE aim of this paper is to explain a paradox in Plato's philosophy. On the one hand, Plato reduces virtue to knowledge; on the other, he rejects the possibility of knowledge or at least has serious doubts that it exists.

49Circularity of Thought in Hegel's LogicReview of Metaphysics 44 (1). 1990.HEGEL says that "when enquiry is made as to the kind of predicate belonging to [a] subject, the act of judgement necessarily implies an underlying concept [Begriff]; but this concept is expressed only by the predicate."
