[1*] Aristotle’s theory of dialectical argumentation. Book proposal favorably reviewed by anonymous referees for Cambridge University Press, manuscript forthcoming.
[2] “Erring in Aristotle’s Analytics”. Article on Aristotle’s theory of deductive error in the Priorand Posterior Analytics.
[3] “Norms of action and argumentation: ἔνδοξαin Nicomachean Ethics 7.1”. Article on a major controversy in the interpretation of the role of “reputable notions” in Aristotle’s ethics.
[4] “Metaethical presumptions in the historiography of ancient ethics”. In this article I critically examine the evidence for the claim, made repeatedly in histories of ethics, that properly philosophical reflection on morality was initiated by Socrates through the form of the dialectical conversation.
[5] “Truth in voting”. Here I argue that, though no voting procedure is optimal in the sense of satisfying all of Arrow’s basic criteria for rational preference aggregation, some voting mechanisms are more true than others in the sense that they offer a greater control of the outcome of the procedure. I develop moreover a normative argument in favor of such voting systems.
