Excerpt from Aristotle on His Predecessors: Being the First Book of His Metaphysics
The brief notes which I have appended to the transla lation do not in, the least aim at providing anything like an editorial commentary. In general, their object is merely to supply either exact information as to the Greek terms represented by certain words in the translation, or to give references which appear indispensable to the comprehen sion Of the author's meaning. Here and there in the pages which deal with the Platonic theory Of Ideas I have, in deed, allowed myself to transgress these self-imposed limi tations, and can only plead in excuse the abstract charac ter Of the topics treated of and the unfamiliar form Of their presentation.

Excerpt from Aristotle on His Predecessors: Being the First Book of His Metaphysics
The present little work makes no ambitious pretence to originality of any kind. Its object is simply to supply students and teachers of philosophy, especially on the American continent, with a faithful rendering of Aristotle's critical sketch of the history of Greek speculative thought down to his own time. Having experienced the need of such a work in connection with my own lectures at McGill University, I have thought that others of my colleagues may also be glad that the want should be, in however imperfect a manner, remedied. This cannot, I think, be done by the reissue of any translation, however meritorious in itself, dating from a period in which our knowledge both of the text of Aristotle and of the early history of Greek thought was more imperfect than is at present the case. Accordingly, I submit to the judgment of my colleagues the accompanying new version, originally made for the purposes of my own lectures, trusting that they also may find it of some service.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a valuable history of pre-Aristotelian Greek philosophy as seen through the perceptive and analytical lens of one of antiquity's greatest minds. The author, a towering figure in the annals of Western thought, delves into the concepts, motivations, and key tenets of the thinkers who preceded him, illuminating their ideas and creations in light of his own comprehensive philosophical system. The author presents a thorough examination of the evolution of philosophical thought in ancient Greece, meticulously dissecting it into four distinct schools of thought: the Milesian, pluralistic, Socratic, and Platonic. By tracing the intellectual lineage of these schools, he not only demonstrates their influence on his own philosophy but also provides a panoramic view of the philosophical landscape that shaped Western Civilization. This book is not merely a historical account; it is also a philosophical treatise, rich with insights into the nature of causality, the role of the divine in the cosmos, and the interplay between abstract ideas and the physical world. The author's profound analysis of the Ideas, Forms, and the concept of Being is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the development of Western thought. His examination of the relationship between the sensible and intelligible realms, and the nature of true knowledge, continues to resonate in contemporary philosophical discourse. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
