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 (-5[1])by William of (10[1])Ockham. Boethius’s translation of Porphyry’s Isagoge, an introduction to a work by this thinker, contributed to a medieval rediscovery of him. (10[1])Duns Scotus and Thomas Aquinas were influenced by this philosopher’s doctrines of hylomorphism and four causes. For 10 points, name this philosopher of Organon and Metaphysics. (10[1])■END■
