Question
The medieval Logica vetus curriculum included the Liber sex principiorum, which was long misattributed to a Bishop of Poitiers with this first name. For 10 points each:
[10m] A philosopher with what first name imagined a visitor touring the campus and buildings of Oxford before asking, “But where is the university?”
ANSWER: Gilbert [accept Gilbert of Poitiers or Gilbert de la Porrée; accept Gilbert Ryle]
[10e] That thought experiment from The Concept of Mind illustrates Gilbert Ryle’s notion of a “mistake” named for these concepts. The Liber sex principiorum studied Aristotle’s division of reality into ten of these concepts like “substance” and “quality.”
ANSWER: categories [or katēgoriai; or praedicamenta; accept category mistake]
[10h] The Critique of Pure Reason organizes two subdivisions of Kant’s four categories in a “table of categories” and a table of this concept. A book titled for this concept argues that there will never be “another Newton” who can mechanistically explain the origin of a blade of grass.
ANSWER: judgment [or urteil; accept Critique of Judgment or Kritik der Urteilskraft]
