The Razor Argument of Metaphysics Α.9 González-Varela, José Edgar 2018 Phronesis , Vol. 63 , Issue 4 , S. 408 ff. ( Zeitschrift ) Englisch 0031-8868 | 1568-5284 Abstract
I discuss Aristotle's opening argument against Platonic Forms in Metaphysics Α.9, 'the Razor', which criticizes the introduction of Forms on the basis of an analogy with a hypothetical case of counting things. I argue for a new interpretation of this argument, and show that it involves two interesting objections against the introduction of Forms as formal causes: one concerns the completeness and the other the adequacy of such an explanatory project.
