  1. Aristotle on meaning and essence.David Charles - 2000 - New York: Oxford University Press.
    David Charles presents a major new study of Aristotle's views on meaning, essence, necessity, and related topics. These interconnected views are central to Aristotle's metaphysics, philosophy of language, and philosophy of science, and are also highly relevant to current philosophical debates. Charles aims to reach a clear understanding of Aristotle's claims and arguments, to assess their truth, and to evaluate their importance to ancient and modern philosophy.

    Understanding, Thought, and Meaning.David Charles - 2000 - In Aristotle on meaning and essence. New York: Oxford University Press.
    Aristotle's solution to the problem raised in Ch. 4 depends on his account of how we arrive at thoughts on the basis of experience. In his view, we standardly acquire a term for a kind on the basis of contact with members of a kind, without thereby knowing that the kind in question exists. Further, we can grasp such terms without knowing that the kind has a unifying basic feature that explains its necessary properties. Our understanding of the kind is (...)

    The Undivided Self: Aristotle and the 'Mind-Body' Problem.David Charles - 2021 - Oxford University Press.
    Aristotle initiated the systematic investigation of perception, the emotions, memory, desire, and action. David Charles argues that Aristotle's account of these phenomena is a philosophically live alternative to conventional modern thinking about the mind: it offers a way to dissolve, rather than solve, the mind-body problem we have inherited.

    Preparation for the Three‐Stage View.David Charles - 2000 - In Aristotle on meaning and essence. New York: Oxford University Press.
    Aristotle, in Posterior Analytics B.3–7, prepares for the three‐stage view by arguing that no one account can tell us both the essence of a kind and the signification of the term that names that kind. Here, he lays the foundation for the separation of two questions, which we would represent as follows: ‘What does “triangle” signify?’ and ‘What is the triangle?’ This distinction provides him with a way to address and resolve Meno's paradox of enquiry.

  9. Aristotle on well-being and intellectual contemplation: David Charles.David Charles - 1999 - Aristotelian Society Supplementary Volume 73 (1):205–223.
    [David Charles] Aristotle, it appears, sometimes identifies well-being with one activity, sometimes with several, including ethical virtue. I argue that this appearance is misleading. In the Nicomachean Ethics, intellectual contemplation is the central case of human well-being, but is not identical with it. Ethically virtuous activity is included in human well-being because it is an analogue of intellectual contemplation. This structure allows Aristotle to hold that while ethically virtuous activity is valuable in its own right, the best life (...)

    The Signification of Names.David Charles - 2000 - In Aristotle on meaning and essence. New York: Oxford University Press.
    In De Interpretatione, Aristotle offers an account of the conditions under which a term like ‘man’ signifies the kind man. This involves, in the case of simple names, the name being correlated with a thought, whose content is determined by efficient causal contact with the kind in question. Aristotle offers a separate account of how the signification of empty names, such as ‘goatstag’, is determined. His account, however, generates a problem: he wishes to hold that the signification of ‘man’ is (...)

    At the end of I.3, 319a29ff, Aristotle asks a series of questions. This difficult and condensed passage, whose translation is controversial at some points, raises two questions: what is what is not without qualification? and is the matter of earth and fire the same or different? In this essay, I shall focus on the second question.

  27. Aristotle on Hypothetical Necessity and Irreducibility.David Charles - 1988 - Pacific Philosophical Quarterly 69 (1):1.
    What is the role of "teleological explanation" in aristotle's account of psychological and biological phenomena? this paper argues that it provides a way of understanding these phenomena which is not reducible to purely material explanation, And which allows for the possibility of a full material account of the conditions under which these phenomena occur. It also offers an alternative account of hypothetical necessity to that proposed by john cooper.

    The Place of Action in the Landscape of Aesthetic Experience.David R. Charles - 2023 - Open Philosophy 6 (1).
    Advocates of ordinary aesthetics argue that aesthetic experiences found in everyday life can have an impact on our ethical being. This raises the question of how, specifically, action arises from aesthetic experience. Although this matter affects both Aesthetics and Ethics, the current literature provides few details on potential mechanisms. Using neurophysiological evidence, this article proposes specific action profiles and associated mechanisms for aesthetic experiences. To achieve this, it is argued that aesthetic experience originates within the mind and that ordinary aesthetic (...)

    The Surprising Ethics of Climate Change.David R. Charles - 2023 - Daily Philosophy 8.
    These days it seems like everyone knows that we should do something about climate change, but there also seems to be a lot of inertia to take action. Until relatively recently, a common view was that governments would provide the solutions. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) special report “SR15”, released in 2018, established that individuals should also contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in order to meet the mitigation requirements to limit warming to 1.5 C. Publicly, there are (...)

    Aristotle's Essentialism.David Charles - 2000 - In Aristotle on meaning and essence. New York: Oxford University Press.
    Aristotle's account of essences is distinct from that offered by Platonists and by scientific realists. Further, while Aristotle's essences are part of the fabric of reality, they can be grasped only by those with certain definitional and explanatory practices. Thus, his account differs from that of the Platonist. Standard criticisms of Aristotle's essentialism are, I argue, misdirected against a Platonist Aristotle of legend and do not successfully engage with Aristotle's own account.

    Demonstration and Definition: Aristotle's Positive Views in Posterior Analytics Β.8–10 and Β.16–18.David Charles - 2000 - In Aristotle on meaning and essence. New York: Oxford University Press.
    Aristotle seeks to resolve the problems raised in Posterior Analytics B.3–7 by arguing that our practices of definition and explanation are interdependent. It is not possible to define kinds without appeal to their causal structure, nor is it possible to single out the relevant causal structure without appeal to what is required for good definition. This is why Aristotle holds that the answer to the questions, ‘What is F?’ and ‘Why is F as it is?’ are the same. Neither definition (...)

    Explanation and Definition: The Basic Model Reconsidered and Refined.David Charles - 2000 - In Aristotle on meaning and essence. New York: Oxford University Press.
    Aristotle's view of the interdependency of explanation and definition rests on a metaphysical thesis: essences are what determine the nature of kinds in such a way as to make their causal structure completely intelligible to us and to locate them in their own distinctive niche in a nexus of genera and species. We can rationally base our understanding of the first principles of science on our understanding of this causally based pattern of kinds. The world, so understood, contains its own (...)

    Meaning, Essence, and Necessity.David Charles - 2000 - In Aristotle on meaning and essence. New York: Oxford University Press.
    Aristotle's account of the meaning of natural kind terms and the essence of natural kinds is distinguished from that offered by Saul Kripke and Hilary Putnam. With regard to, Aristotle did not require that one who understands a natural kind term and goes on to discover the essence of the kind grasps at the outset that the kind exists or has an essence yet to be discovered. With regard to, Aristotle separates essences from necessary properties and connects essences with definition (...)

    Posterior Analytics B.8–10: The Three‐Stage View.David Charles - 2000 - In Aristotle on meaning and essence. New York: Oxford University Press.
    Aristotle, in Posterior Analytics B.10, separates three stages in scientific enquiry: knowledge of the signification of the relevant terms, knowledge of the existence of the kind, and knowledge of the essence of the kind. One can, in all relevant cases, achieve the first stage of enquiry without achieving the second or third stages. So, knowledge of the signification of the relevant terms does not essentially involve knowledge of the existence of the kind in question.

    Signification and Thought.David Charles - 2000 - In Aristotle on meaning and essence. New York: Oxford University Press.
    In De Anima, Aristotle develops an analogy between perception and thought. This is based, I argue, on his account of what causally determines the object of the relevant perception or thought. I examine how his account accommodates visual error and erroneous thoughts and the analogy between the role of light in colour perception and the Active Intellect in the case of thought. Aristotle's account of the object of thought in De Anima supports his account of the signification of names in (...)

    Substance, Definition, and Essence.David Charles - 2000 - In Aristotle on meaning and essence. New York: Oxford University Press.
    Aristotle's approach to the definition of composite substances in the central books of the Metaphysics follows the explanation‐involving pattern set out in the Posterior Analytics. The definition of such substances draws on resources based in his account of teleological causation The relevant Forms provide the basis of answers to both the questions, ‘What is F?’ and ‘Why is F as it is?’. Neither question can be answered satisfactorily in isolation. Aristotle's explanation‐involving account of definition is seen to be at work (...)

    Towards a Unified Theory of Definition: Posterior Analytics Β.13–15.David Charles - 2000 - In Aristotle on meaning and essence. New York: Oxford University Press.
    Aristotle, in the Posterior Analytics, connects his account of definition and explanation with the theory of division. The features that figure in the relevant explanation include those that distinguish the kind in its relevant genus. His account of differentiation into genera and species is strongly interconnected with his explanation‐involving account of definition.

    Contemporary philosophers have not, at least until very recently, been much concerned with the study of the emotions. It was not always so. The Stoics thought deeply about this topic. Although they were divided on points of detail, they agreed on the broad outline of an account. In it emotions are valuational judgments and resulting affective states.

    Socrates' greatest philosophical contribution was to have initiated the search for definitions. In Definition in Greek Philosophy his views on definition are examined, together with those of his successors, including Plato, Aristotle, the Stoics, Galen, the Sceptics and Plotinus. Although definition was a major pre-occupation for many Greek philosophers, it has rarely been treated as a separate topic in its own right in recent years. This volume, which contains fourteen new essays by leading scholars, aims to reawaken interest in a (...)
