The nineteenth volume of the Proceedings of the Society for Medieval Logic and Metaphysics honors the work of our president and founder, Gyula Klima. This volume of proceedings considers a host of issues relevant to key aspects of Klima's work, from metaphysics to logic and epistemology. Contributions include a new formalization that captures Ockham's semantics as a mathematical presheaf, a response by the well-known Ockhamist Claude Panaccio to objections raised by Klina to his work on intentionality, a subtle and carefully consideration of how genus and species are for Aquinas real accidents of being (Gregory Doolan), and a close look at Aristotle on demonstration by Lucas Angioni. These papers add significant contributions to each of their majors' areas of exploration.
