Routledge Philosophy Guidebook To Aristotle And The Metaphysics(1).pdf

Routledge Philosophy Guide Book to

Aristotle and the Metaphysics

Mary Margaret McCabe, Kings College, London

‘[This book] is well written and philosophically acute. It will prove a most

worthwhile addition to the series, and will be helpful for undergraduates

and graduates taking options in Aristotle’s Metaphysics .’

David Charles, Oxford University

Aristotle is perhaps the most important figure in Western philosophy and

his Metaphysics is a benchmark in the history of philosophy.

Aristotle and the Metaphysics introduces and assesses:

• Aristotle’s life and the background to the Metaphysics

• The ideas and text of the Metaphysics

• The continuing importance of Aristotle’s work to philosophy.

Vasilis Politis is lecturer of philosophy at Trinity College Dublin.

‘This is an excellent book, written with great lucidity and engaging the

reader directly with the problems of Aristotle’s Metaphysics … The book

reads with ease, even at the most difficult of stages. I found it positively

enjoyable to read.’
