Research

Alan Code's research has concentrated on issues in Aristotle's metaphysics and logic, and related topics in his natural philosophy and biology. His recent work on Aristotle concerns general issues about the role of logic in metaphysical inquiry, connections between epistemology and metaphysics, and various aspects of his philosophy of nature (including the definition of color and the explanation of weight). He has two forthcoming books: The Philosophy of Aristotle (Oxford); Collected Papers on Aristotle's Metaphysics and Logic (Princeton).
