  I am Dr. Pamela Hood. I'm an associate professor of Philosophy at San Francisco State University.

  My research field is Ancient Greek philosophy. My focus is on Aristotle, especially study on the intersection of language, metaphysics and epistemology in the conceptual problems Aristotle identifies in the Categories as well as those this intriguing text has created.
