Ockham and Buridan on the Ampliation of Modal Propositions
British Journal for the History of Philosophy 23 (2):234-255 (2015)
Abstract
This paper explores a currently unnoticed argument used by John Buridan to defend his analysis of modal propositions and to reject the analysis of modal propositions of necessity put forward by William of Ockham. First, I explore this argument and, by considering possible responses of Ockham to Buridan, show some of the ways in which Ockham seems to be keeping closer to Aristotle's remarks about modal propositions in Prior Analytics, 18Author's Profile
