Only in his Statesman does Plato present a philosopher of the caliber of the Eleatic Stranger giving a non-Socratic teaching on politics and political philosophy with the mature Socrates in the audience. By doing so, he implies that the decisive comparison-the precondition for understanding Socratic political philosophy in its uniqueness-is between his Socrates and Eleatic Stranger. But the Stranger and Socrates also, as I aim to show here, sh...

Ever since the waning of medieval scholasticism, critics of the intellectual activity of the period have mocked medieval philosophers for their obsession with so-called metaphysical minutiae. Humanists frequently suggested that the medievals had lost track of what was valuable in philosophizing. One topic of regular scorn for such philosophers was the continual attention to the development of theories of distinctions, for one major task to whi...

Intelligence work is often considered as the "world's second oldest profession" (Davies & Gustafson, 2013, p. 9). Yet it was only in the latter half of the twentieth century that police agencies realised the effectiveness of intelligence in crime control and order maintenance. Consequently, intelligence concepts used in the military were adopted by the police. In the new scheme, intelligence work mainly revolved around supporting reactive inve...

I argue for the basic continuity of Plato's account of causation, from the Forms-asaitiai hypothesis of his middle period to the teleology of his late period. Against the prevailing view, according to which the Timaean teleology amounts to a retraction of the Phaedo's account of aitiai, I contend that in the Timaeus the metaphysical status of physical properties and processes remains essentially the same as it had been in Plato's middle period...

Process metaphysics is by no means a recent philosophical approach to the nature of reality. However, the strength and applicability of this school of thought (or better: schools of thought) has been largely overlooked or under-valued. As a result it is appearing on the scenes of much of Western academia as a little-understood, novel approach to many philosophical issues, both contemporary and ancient. One of the leading reasons for this appar...

Science and academia are complex systems with many agents at different levels. At the micro-level, individuals pursue research and hold academic positions. At the mesa-level, these individuals form collaboration teams, departments and universities and pursue goals together. At the macro-level, the universities are linked together by global communication and collaborations. This complexity makes quantification and evaluation of these structures...

Perhaps there is no aspect of Deleuze's philosophy as important as his nuanced thought on the nature of temporality. For Deleuze, the concept of temporality is non-monolithic, in the senses that throughout his works - the monographs, lectures, and those works that were coauthored with Félix Guattari - he ceaselessly returns to elaborations on the nature of time. It is as though temporality is the thematic refrain of Deleuze's philosophy. Throu...
