Alan Code
Alan Code (born 1951) is Ward W. and Priscilla B. Woods Professor of Philosophy and Professor of Classics (by courtesy) at Stanford University, and also Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at UC Berkeley. One of the foremost scholars of ancient Greek philosophy in the English-speaking world, he has written numerous important articles on Aristotle's metaphysics, science, and logic. He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2013.[1]
Code did his BA, MA, and PhD at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, writing his dissertation under Terry Penner. Before coming to Stanford in 2011, he was Board of Governors Professor of Philosophy at Rutgers University.[2] Prior to that, he taught for many years at Berkeley, and also at the University of Michigan and Ohio State University.
Code's record of publication is relatively light—fewer than twenty papers in all. However, his contributions to the interpretation of Aristotle's metaphysics [3] and philosophy of science [4]are well respected. He has commented on, clarified and extended the work of such eminent scholars as G. E. L. Owen[5] and Montgomery Furth[6].
