Synopsis
Aristotle's Metaphysics is an extremely rich and important philosophical work that continues to inspire reflection and debate. Indeed, no philosophical work has been more influential. Yet, the Metaphysics is also notoriously complex. Because the work is an inquiry that seeks to discover solutions to problems rather than to defend doctrines, readers often struggle to follow the text and to understand its final solutions. This book focuses on the fascinating metaphysical issues that Aristotle is addressing. By working through the text, Halper explains how these issues arise, how the text engages them, and how it argues for solutions. Besides showing how to read the text, Halper aims to help readers reflect on the issues.
Aristotle's Metaphysics : A Reader's Guide presents a concise and accessible introduction to the text, offering invaluable guidance on:
- Philosophical context
- Key themes
- Reading the text
- Reception and influence
- Further reading
