Grice and Quinton on substance -- and things

From:

http://science.jrank.org/pages/22942/Anthony-Quinton.html

H. Noonan writes of the 'treatise', "The nature of things" by Quinton, that it

"takes as its central notion
the concept of

----- substance."

Greek hypokheimenon. Cfr. hypousia. Aristotle's first category.

Noonan continues:

"By exploring the questions associated

with this concept Quinton develops, in

three parts, his views on a wide-ranging

set of traditional philosophical

problems."

---

"In part I, problems of identity and

individualism, the relation between matter

and extension,"

---- he has also written on "Times and Spaces"

"and personal identity and the soul

are discussed;"


--- His "The Soul", for the Journal of Philosophy, repr. along with Grice, "Personal Identity" as chapters II and III respectively of Perry. Ch. I being Locke.

"in part II knowledge, scepticism, and the concept of

perception are the topics;"


----- "The problem of perception", in Mind, being an early Quinton.


"in part III the notion of essence, the

distinction between theory and observation,

mind–body dualism, and fact and

value are discussed."

----

"The general position defended is a form

of materialism."
