DESCRIPTION:Colloquium Series\n\n \n\nChristian Pfeiffer\, University of To
 ronto\n	Title: 'Aristotle on Senses and Causes of Being'\n\nFriday\, March 
 17\, 2023\n	3:30-5:30 PM EST\n	Leacock 927\n\nAbstract: Aristotle claims tha
 t being is said in many ways. In the history of metaphysics\, this thesis 
 has been seen as either a profound insight or unintelligible. But what exa
 ctly did Aristotle mean by it? Based on an interpretation of Metaphysics H
 .2\, I will argue (1) that it concerns ways of being and not kinds of bein
 gs\; (2) that Aristotle distinguishes between existential and predicative 
 being\; (3) that it is not a semantical but a metaphysical claim concernin
 g the explanation of what it is for things to exist\; and finally (4) that
  in the background of Aristotle’s analysis is Plato’s Sophist\, where Plat
 o maintains that the Form of Being explains what it is for things to exist
