Question

Though misattributed, this thinker names a paradox regarding the distance traveled by two points on a wheel. James of Venice’s translation of this thinker demarcates the works of this 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 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 (10[1])Scotus and Thomas Aquinas were influenced by this philosopher’s (10[1])doctrines of hylomorphism and four causes. For 10 points, (10[2])name this philosopher of Organon and Metaphysics.
