商品簡介
When the distinction Aristotle draws between per se being and potential/actual being is applied to the central books of the Metaphysics , argues Yu (State U. of New York-Buffalo) a distinct interpretation of these texts emerged, and with it a better understanding of the ancient Greek philosopher's science of being. He challenges scholars who find only a single argument in the three books, by pointing out that the investigation of per se being is about the basic constituents of reality and is related to prediction, categories, and definitions; whereas the study of potential/actual being deals with the motion, process, and function of the world. Some of the chapters have been published separately. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
