- Product Description
Aristotle is one of the greatest thinkers in the Western tradition, but also one of the most difficult. The contributors to this volume do not attempt to disguise the nature of that difficulty, but at the same time, they offer a clear exposition of the central philosophical concerns in his work. Approaches and methods vary and the volume editor has not imposed any single interpretation, but has rather allowed differences of interpretation to stand.
- Reviews
“This lively collection serves its purpose well.” Ethics
“…a clear, concise, well organized, comprehensive treatment of Aristotle’s philosophy.” Howard J. Curzer, Canadian Philosophical Review
“The book is above all an inspiring and informative guide for philosophically ambitious students of Aristotle, but even a more advanced reader finds much of interest and pleasure in it.” Bryn Mawr Classical Review
“The Cambridge Companion to Aristotle is a must-read for any Aristotelian scholar, but it is also beneficial to a reader with little knowledge of ancient thought. This is a great value for anyone’s library.” Steve W. Lamke, The Theological Educator
