Aristotelian concepts persist in the works of later philosophers, from the Ancients, through the Medievals, the Moderns, and today. The goal of this workshop will be to make explicit the Aristotelian concepts preserved in contemporary philosophy, by providing Aristotelian responses to contemporary philosophical issues. This includes but is not limited to his foundational work on logic, philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, metaphysics, and ethics.

Abstracts should be 300-500 words, prepared for blind review.
