商品簡介
Halper (philosophy, U. of Georgia) began his projected three-volume analysis in 1989 with the central books of Metaphysics, then ran into textual and conceptual problems so that this second volume, on the first four books, is just now complete. After showing how Aristotle justifies his doctrines by demonstrating how they resolve one/many problems, he uses this justification to clarify the doctrines and what is puzzling in them. He contends that the problem of the one and the many, in its various manifestations, is the philosopher's leading problem. Annotation c2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
