1The Meaning of Experimental Science in the Philosophy of Roger BaconDissertation, University of Toronto (Canada). 1983.This thesis examines Roger Bacon's contribution to experimental science under four headings: in relation to Bacon's life and chronology, the place of this science in his reform of studies, Bacon's doctrinal account of scientia experimentalis, a newly edited text of Opus maius, part six, on experimental science. The correlation of the main autobiographical texts in Bacon's works leads to a more firm chronology. Bacon's reform of studies is examined in order to present a clear picture of his list …Read more

8Introduction: Roger Bacon within the Medieval Setting. New Findings / AbbreviationsRevista Española de Filosofía Medieval 28 (1): 9-15. 2022.The paper examines Roger Bacon’s use of the concept virtus in the Communia naturalium and De multiplication specierum. It focuses on the roles which virtus and species play as vehicles of causality in the inanimate realm. It analyses the distinct functions played by virtus in the motion of celestial spheres, the power of natural place, the attraction of iron to magnet, and the universal nature. The analysis concludes that virtus is an efficient power, a feature of form, capable of causing local …Read more

2Roger Bacon’s New Metaphysics (1260-1292): The Integration of Language Study and Natural Science With Metaphysics and Morals (review)Revista Española de Filosofía Medieval 28 (1): 149-171. 2022.The paper presents evidence that Roger Bacon was endeavoring to structure what he considered as a “new metaphysics”. Moreover, it identifies the Opus maius as Bacon’s new preliminary text in metaphysics and morals. The evidence is found in the Communia naturalium and in the Communia mathematica, in which one finds a reference to the Opus maius as a sketch for a new metaphysics. From part seven of the latter work, namely, the Moralis philosophia, one can see that Bacon views the latter work as cl…Read more

52Photosynthetic eukaryotes unite: endosymbiosis connects the dotsBioessays 26 (1): 50-60. 2004.The photosynthetic organelle of algae and plants (the plastid) traces its origin to a primary endosymbiotic event in which a previously non‐photosynthetic protist engulfed and enslaved a cyanobacterium. This eukaryote then gave rise to the red, green and glaucophyte algae. However, many algal lineages, such as the chlorophyll c‐containing chromists, have a more complicated evolutionary history involving a secondary endosymbiotic event, in which a protist engulfed an existing eukaryotic alga (in …Read more

23Philosophy In and Out of Europe (review)Review of Metaphysics 45 (1): 124-125. 1991.Marjorie Grene's essays dealing with twentieth-century European philosophy are, as she informs the reader, "written from something like 'a continental' point of view." She also informs the reader that these collected essays, written at various times between 1938 and 1974, are a form of philosophical journalism. If it is journalism, then, it is journalism of a high quality. The book may also serve as a kind of record of the itinerarium mentis of a very lively and perceptive reader of philosophy i…Read more
