Question

Though misattributed, this thinker names a paradox regarding the distance traveled by two points on a wheel. James of (-5[1])Venice’s translation of this thinker demarcates the works of this (-5[1])thinker included in the logica nova versus the logica vetus, the latter of which includes a text that begins the Bekker numbering. An attempt to reconcile this philosopher’s thought with transubstantiation led to the claim that only “substance” and “quality” were real (10[1])by William of Ockham. Boethius’s translation of Porphyry’s Isagoge, an introduction to a work by this thinker, contributed to a medieval rediscovery of him. Duns Scotus and Thomas Aquinas were influenced (-5[1])by (10[1])this (10[1])philosopher’s (10[1])doctrines of hylomorphism and four causes. (-5[1])For 10 points, name this philosopher of Organon and Metaphysics. ■END■ (10[4]0[1])
