2In the Posterior Analytics, deiknunai is often synonymous with apodeiknunai. This is the case when it means ‘demonstrate’ in the strict sense of a syllogistic deduction. However, in other occurrences, it seems to designate something different, like a ‘proof’ in general or a particular kind of proof. Does this mean that deiknunai is an imprecise term, belonging to a weak level of technical terminology and falling outside the semantic core of Aristotle’s theory of science? Conversely, it could be …Read more

11The Practical Syllogism in Context: De Motu 7 and ZoologyHistory of Philosophy & Logical Analysis 11 (1): 185-196. 2008."The aim of this paper is to inscribe the argument on the Practical Syllogism of De motu animalium, chapter 7, in its immediate context. Now this framework is by no means a logical one. The De motu is a psychological or zoological treatise, whose scope belongs to natural philosophy. Moreover De motu's Practical Syllogism cannot be restricted to practical, i.e. anthropological, cases, like akrasia. It is inserted in a physiological development regarding the biological explanation of animal emotio…Read more

17Eudémonisme politique et ontologie de l’action dans la Politique d’AristotePolis 36 (1): 23-39. 2019.In the last lines of Politics VII, 3, Aristotle states that the happy city acts nobly. This implies that the city has a practical life, and that this life has its end in itself. This claim seems to contradict the famous distinction, which has been made elsewhere by Aristotle, between the practical and theoretical lives. It is argued in this paper that there is, here, neither contradiction nor inconsistency in Aristotle’s conception of human action. Some readings, according to which this passage …Read more

13Memória e caráter: Aristóteles e a histótia pessoalDissertatio 30 11-44. 2009.Para Aristóteles, a memória não consiste somente em conservar os traços do passado e tomá-los novamente por objetos. O tratado Da memória e da reminiscência examina mais geralmente o papel das imagens no exercício do pensamento. Ele descreve o processo de reminiscência ou rememoração, e trata assim da organização voluntária das representações mentais como de seus encaminhamentos involuntários e patológicos. Correlativamente, ele explica em que sentido o homem pode ser agente de suas próprias rep…Read more

10La peur, passion radicale : Sur l’économie des passions chez LucrèceElenchos: Rivista di Studi Sul Pensiero Antico 39 (2): 281-299. 2018.This paper deals with the aetiological aspect of the Epicurean conception of passions. It is argued that the therapy of the soul relies on an overall explanation of the various emotional states, and that fear is at the core of this framework in so far as it is the root of most psychic troubles. The first part deals with fear in the context of the general theory of passions. The second part shows that this basic emotion is the root of injustice and political excessive ambition, in Lucretius’ De r…Read more

45Qui a peur de l'éthologie ? Action humaine et action animale chez AristoteArchai: Revista de Estudos Sobre as Origens Do Pensamento Ocidental 11 91-100. 2013.On décèle une tension entre deux tendances dans la philosophie aristotélicienne de la praxis : d’une part; une insistance claire sur la spécificité de l’action humaine par rapport à la conduite animale ; d’autre part; la volonté de définir un genre commun pour les différents types d’activités; humaines et animales. Si cette tension peut être surmontée; c’est sans doute en distinguant les différents registres (axiologique; psychologique; éthologique) du discours aristotélicien. C’est aussi en pré…Read more

La solution d'Épicure, selon la Lettre à Hérodote, § 45, consiste à adopter une conception subtile de la causalité atomique : les atomes ne sont pas seulement des composants, ou des causes matérielles, mais aussi, par l'intermédiaire d'un processus de sélection sponta…Read more
