Being, Univocity, & Logical Syntax

In this talk, professor Adrian Moore focuses on the idea of the univocity of being, championed by Duns Scotus and given prominence more recently by Deleuze. Although he is interested in how this idea can be established, his primary concern is with something more basic: how the idea can even be properly thought. In the course of exploring this issue, which he does partly by borrowing some ideas about logical syntax from Wittgenstein's Tractatus, he tries to show how there can be dialogue between analytic philosophers and those of other traditions.
This talk was the Presidential Address by A.W. Moore (Oxford) in 2014 as part of the Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society. For more information: www.aristoteliansociety.org.uk

Huge gem. I kept returning to this back then. I didn’t know this was back up. Thanks so much.

I wish there was more, more Moore! He has a nice clear way of doing philosophy that nonetheless manages to span across traditions in a pleasingly broad way.

I didn't quite understand what "enjoy" means in this video. Could anybody explane, please🙏

[@pectenmaximus231]

The word enjoy isn’t being used in the most familiar sense, being synonymous with pleasure. Here, enjoy is closer in meaning to saying “to have the liberty of” or “is able to possess”. By example: “The man who wears a hat on a sunny day enjoys a better view” or “Lawyers within prestigious offices enjoy a higher hourly pay”.

Crazy how scotus is misunderstood and because of that you get weird arguments about being.
