The Aristotelian Conception of the Possible

Publication |
2009

Abstract

According to Aristotelian tradition the possible non-existing objects are not endowed by any propre ?objective potency?, nor, consequently, by any ?weak? existence. They are just logically possible, or (above it) ontologically possible thanks to their potential causes.

The paper proposes a definition of the logically possible, as well as a definition of the ontologically possible.
