He is a leading scholar of ancient Greek philosophy, especially well known for his articles on Aristotle's metaphysics, science, and logic.
Education and career
[edit]Code did his BA, MA, and PhD at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, writing his dissertation under Terry Penner. Before taking up a position at Stanford in 2011, he was Board of Governors Professor of Philosophy at Rutgers University.[1] Prior to that, he taught for many years at Berkeley, and also at the University of Michigan and Ohio State University.
He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2013.[2]
Philosophical work
[edit]Some of Code's papers are considered centrally important to the understanding of Aristotle's metaphysics [3] and philosophy of science.[4] He has commented on, clarified and extended the work of such eminent scholars as G. E. L. Owen[5] and Montgomery Furth.[6]
