This first volume dedicated to Aristotle’s natural philosophy in the series of Cambridge Critical Guides deals with the Physics and testifies to its richness: it offers food for thought not only for those who are primarily interested in a very different picture of physical reality, but also for those who like to rethink nature and natural science in the light of metaphysical issues. As Mariska Leunissen puts it in her “Introduction”, the Physics not only “lays out Aristotle’s conceptual apparatus and methodological framework for all of his natural philosophy” (1), but “forms the conceptual entry-way into much of the Aristotelian Corpus” (2), including metaphysics and, to a lesser degree, political science and ethics. The contributions to the volume set out to justify this claim; they are not meant to introduce us to the Physics and its textual history or to offer a general overview of recent scholarship. Instead, the editor’s introduction summarizes three tasks of the book as (I) “reassessing the key concepts of Aristotle’s natural philosophy”; (II) “reconstructing Aristotle’s methods for the study of nature”; and (III) “determining the boundaries of Aristotle’s natural philosophy” (2-4). These tasks do not organize the volume into distinct parts, but serve as the axes of research that all the contributors keep in mind, although naturally, given the range of topics discussed, with different accents.

Aristotle's study of the natural world plays a tremendously important part in his philosophical thought. He was very interested in the phenomena of motion, causation, place and time, and teleology, and his theoretical materials in this area are collected in his Physics, a treatise of eight books which has been very influential on later thinkers. This volume of new essays provides cutting-edge research on Aristotle's Physics, taking into account recent changes in the field of Aristotle in terms of its understanding of key concepts and preferred methodology. The contributions reassess the key concepts of the treatise (including nature, chance, teleology, art, and motion), reconstruct Aristotle's methods for the study of nature, and determine the boundaries of his natural philosophy. Due to the foundational nature of Aristotle's Physics itself, the volume will be a must-read for all scholars working on Aristotle. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
