Artifacts in the 14th Century: The Case of Blasius of Parma
Abstract
The 14th century saw remarkable philosophical developments. One such was the nature of artifacts.
In this presentation, I will draw attention to Blasius of Parma’s treatment of artifacts in his commentary on Aristotle’s Physics. I will also put his contribution in context and then mention Ockham, Buridan as well as Descartes and Bacon.
