Ho ho ho… Harvey is coming to town?
One of the many fascinating contributions semiotics makes to contemporary philosophical discourse is role it sees for signs and sign-relations in the domain of logic. In this interview on Dogs with Torches, we are joined by the Lyceum’s very own Dr. Matthew K. Minerd to discuss the scholastic development of logic in the 13th and 14th century, as well as the thought of Hervaeus Natalis on the domains of logic as the study and science of second intentions.
Towards the end of the episode, we also discuss the reflections Natalis has for the domain of ens rationis in general, and the possible implications it has for the scope of metaphysical enquiry. We also touch briefly upon other philosophical issues such as: species-specific extrinsic denominations, moral being, rhetoric, zoösemiotics and phytosemiotics, and the being of intentionality.
In addition to the Interview, Dr. Minerd also graciously recommended further resources for those who would want to further investigate medieval developments on logic, as well as the development of the scholastic understanding of ens rationis in general.
