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 (-5[1])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 (10[1])thought with transubstantiation led to the claim that only “substance” (10[1])and “quality” were real by William of Ockham. Boethius’s translation of Porphyry’s Isagoge, an introduction to a work by this thinker, (10[1]-5[1])contributed (-5[1])to a medieval rediscovery of him. (10[1])Duns (10[1])Scotus and Thomas Aquinas were influenced by this (10[1])philosopher’s doctrines of hylomorphism and four causes. (10[1])For 10 points, name this philosopher of Organon and Metaphysics. (10[2])■END■ (10[1]0[1])
