Julie K. Ward examines Aristotle's thought regarding how language informs our views of what is real. First she places Aristotle's theory in its historical and philosophical contexts in relation to Plato and Speusippus. Ward then explores Aristotle's theory of language as it is deployed in several works, including Ethics, Topics, Physics, and Metaphysics, so as to consider its relation to dialectical practice and scientific explanation as Aristotle conceived it.

Julie K. Ward is associate professor of philosophy at Loyola University, Chicago. The editor and co-editor of Feminisms and Ancient Philosophy and Philosophers on Race: Critical Essays, she has also contributed to Ancient Philosophy, Polis, and Hypatia.
