The Unity of Stoic Metaphysics (eBook, PDF)

Everything is Something

Beschreibung

This volume explores the metaphysics devised by Stoic philosophers in response to Plato. It elucidates ontological criteria for counting things as being, and metaphysical principles for grounding these entities, which together support the view that everything there is either is a body or is something ontologically dependent on body.

Autor

Vanessa de Harven is an Associate Professor in Philosophy at UMass Amherst. She gained her PhD in Philosophy at UC Berkeley in 2012. She specializes in Ancient Philosophy, with a focus on Stoic metaphysics, in particular on Stoic corporealism, the nature of their incorporeals (including especially their novel semantic entities, the lekta, roughly, the meanings of our words), and the status of pure products of thought, like creatures of fiction and mathematical entities, which are neither corporeal nor incorporeal. In addition to work on the Stoics and the Hellenistic era, de Harven has research interests in Plato's metaphysics and epistemology, in Socratic intellectualism, and in Presocratic philosophy.
