214Platonic CausesPhronesis 43 (2): 114-132. 1998.This paper examines Plato's ideas on cause-effect relations in the "Phaedo." It maintains that he sees causes as things (not events, states of affairs or the like), with any information as to how that thing brings about the effect relegated to a strictly secondary status.

84Creationism and its Critics in AntiquityUniversity of California Press. 2007.The world is configured in ways that seem systematically hospitable to life forms, especially the human race.

This article brings them into sharper …Read more
