Book Description
Aristotle is perhaps the most important figure in philosophy. Every serious reader of philosophy will come across the Metaphysics, yet until now there has not been an introductory book to help explain the often difficult ideas that arise in the text.
This GuideBook looks at the Metaphysics thematically and takes the reader through the main arguments found in the book. The book introduces and assesses Aristotle's life and the background to the Metaphysics, the ideas and text of the Metaphysics and Aristotle's philosophical legacy.
Review
"Politis writes exceedingly clearly, formulates exactly, draws parallel with other relevant passages from Aristotle's work...as well as with contemporary authors like Quine or Putnam. Moreover, this introduction is a very pleasant read, not only for students but also for lecturers." -- Rico Sneller, Tijdschrift voor Filosofie (Journal of Philosohy, Holland)
About the Author
Vasilis Politis is Lecturer of Philosophy at Trinity College Dublin. He is translator and editor of Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason (1993).
