In this talk, professor Adrian Moore focuses on the idea of the univocity of being, championed by Duns Scotus and given prominence more recently by Deleuze. Although he is interested in how this idea can be established, his primary concern is with something more basic: how the idea can even be properly thought. In the course of exploring this issue, which he does partly by borrowing some ideas about logical syntax from Wittgenstein's Tractatus, he tries to show how there can be dialogue between analytic philosophers and those of other traditions.
This talk was the Presidential Address by A.W. Moore (Oxford) in 2014 as part of the Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society. For more information: www.aristoteliansociety.org.uk
