23Buridan’s Radical View of Final Causality and Its InfluenceAmerican Catholic Philosophical Quarterly 97 (2): 211-226. 2023.In his commentary on Aristotle’s Physics, John Buridan (c. 1300–1361) presents his well-known rejection of final causality. The main problem he sees with it is that it requires the cause to exist before the effect. Despite this, he retains the terminology of ends. This has led to some difficulty interpreting Buridan’s view. In this article, I argue that one should not misunderstand Buridan’s terminology and think that he still retains some use or explanatory function for final causality in natur…Read more

Along the way, it covers skepticism during the Latin, Arabic, and Greek Middle Ages a…Read more

12Representation and Objects of Thought in Medieval PhilosophyRoutledge. 2007.The notions of mental representation and intentionality are thought to have originated with Descartes in the seventeenth century. The authors in this book challenge this assumption and show that the history of these ideas can be traced back to the medieval period. They conclude that there is no clear dividing line between western late medieval and early modern philosophy.

172The Unity of Efficient and Final Causality: The Mind/Body Problem ReconsideredBritish Journal for the History of Philosophy 19 (4). 2011.In this paper, I argue that it is in the fourteenth century that the problem of the compatibility or unity of efficient and final causality emerges. William Ockham and John Buridan start to flirt with a mechanized view of nature solely explainable by efficient causality, and they hence push final causality into the human mind and use it to explain for example action, morality and the good. Their argumentation introduces the problem of how to give a unified account of the world, that is, how are …Read more

20From a Topical Point of View : Dialectic in Anselm of Canterbury’s (review)Journal of the History of Philosophy 46 (2): 317-318. 2008.For a long time scholars ignored Anselm of Canterbury’s dialogue, De grammatico. It was not until D. P. Henry’s investigations in the 1960s and 70s that it was seriously studied. He showed that it was an important work, but his interpretation was peculiar. The main point of it was to show that Anselm thought traditional logic inadequate for analyzing logical problems and that he wanted to establish a new language that was better suited for the task. Henry also argued that the logical system of t…Read more
