Description:Under the guidance of Professor Veatch, Aristotle stands forth again asthe philosopher who, above all, speaks simply and directly to the common sense ofall mankind. Today, Professor Veatch believes, the time may be ripe for a belatedrecognition that Aristotle is "a truly live option inphilosophy."The discussion begins with the Physics -- forAristotle, the discipline embracing all aspects of the natural world -- and examinesAristotle's doctrine of categories and his celebrated "four causes." Turning to theDe Anima, Professor Veatch casts aside many errors of interpretation which have comeabout because of mistaken readings of the term soul and gives an intelligibleaccount of Aristotle's psychology, seen within the context of his system as a whole.Next, the varieties of human achievement are surveyed in Aristotelian terms, withintroductory discussions of the Ethics, Politics, and the Poetics. Turning to theMetaphysics, the author demonstrates that the question of the unity of subjectmatter in Aristotle's metaphysics does not warrant the great difficulty that hasbeen made of it. Finally -- reversing to good effect the traditional order --Aristotelian logic is presented with superb clarity and ease.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
