Proclus on Aristotle on Plato. A Case Study on Motion
… (412–485 AD) and his engagement with Aristotle’s theory of motion with a specific focus on Aristotle’s criticism of Plato. There are two main goals. (i) I refute the widespread view that Proclus – in line with other Neoplatonists – adheres to the idea of an essential harmony between Plato and …

Gadgets and Gizmos: A Formal Model of Simulation in the Gadget Framework for Motion Planning
Recent work has developed a theory of motion-planning gadgets, which are a useful tool for proving hardness for a variety of problems that can be thought of in terms of an agent navigating a dynamic environment. We introduce formal objects representing motion-planning gadgets, which we call gizmos, …

Postural Time-To-Contact, Real-Time Visual Feedback Of Postural Activity, And Motion Sickness
The postural instability theory of motion sickness predicts that the subjective symptoms of motion sickness will be preceded by unstable control of posture. In previous research, it has been confirmed with measures of the spatial magnitude and temporal dynamic of postural activity. In the first …

The Contemplation of the Transcendent Heart: Tracing the ἡγεμονικόν from the Stoics to Origen
Origen incorporates the Stoic concept of the ἡγεμονικόν, ‘governing faculty’, into his psychology and ethics as the transcendent heart. Origen, who stands at the watershed between ‘middle’ and ‘neo’ Platonism, provides us with a distinctive perspective on how late antique thinkers were able to …
