Description
On the contrary, one of the most welcome and enlivening features of the contemporary Aristotelian scene is precisely the cross-fertilization these mutually beneficial and complementary activities offer one another. The volume, prefaced with an introduction to Aristotle's life and works by the editor, covers the main areas of Aristotelian philosophy and intellectual enquiry: ethics, metaphysics, politics, logic, language, psychology, rhetoric, poetics, theology, physical and biological investigation, and philosophical method. It also, and distinctively, looks both backwards and forwards: two chapters recount Aristotle's treatment of earlier philosophers, who proved formative to his own orientations and methods, and another three chapters chart the long afterlife of Aristotle's philosophy, in Late Antiquity, in the Islamic World, and in the Latin West.

Review quote
interpretative difficulties connected with a particular Aristotelian theme. The many challenging views set out by the contributors are likely to stimulate reflection and debate. * Nicola Carraro, The Classical Review * this book brings together 25 of the world's top Aristotle scholars. Shield's editorial work is superb, and his own contributions are lucid. * P.W. Wakefield, CHOICE *
