Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Aristotle On His Predecessors: Being The First Book Of His Metaphysics is a book written by A. E. Taylor. It is a comprehensive study of Aristotle's first book of Metaphysics, which is focused on the philosophical theories of his predecessors. The book provides a detailed analysis of Aristotle's ideas on the nature of reality, the principles of causality, and the concept of being. It also explores the philosophical ideas of earlier thinkers, such as Plato, Parmenides, and Heraclitus, and how Aristotle developed his own theories in response to their ideas. The book is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of philosophy and the development of metaphysical thought. It is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both students and scholars.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Reseña del editor

The present little work makes no ambitious pretence to originality of any kind. I ts object is simply to supply students and teachers of philosophy, especially on the American continent, with a faithful rendering of Aristotle scritical 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 atM cG ill 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. A ccordingly, I submit to the judgment of my colleagues the accompanying new version, originally made for the purposes of my own lectures, trusting that they also may find it of some service. The translation has been based upon W.
