Aristotle's Physics

`The enormous vitality and range of writing on Aristotle is well reflected in these two collections of essays. ... concerned with just one Aristotelian text, but it is a particularly rich and fundamental one. ... illustrates a very welcome trend in more recent writing on Ancient Philosophy. ... the overwhelming impression ... is of a thriving field of study, characterized by exegetical precision, stylistic clarity and a remarkable ability to illuminate the text in the light of contemporary philosophical interests without distorting it in the process. ... Admirable in method, and stimulating in content, ... required reading for anyone interested in the field.' Heythrop Journal `All exemplify the Oxford style of classical scholarship: informed by contemporary philosophy and the most recent Oxford-style scholarship, and paying careful attention to textual details, the essays argue for novel and challenging interpretations of particular passages.' E. Halper, University of Georgia, Choice, Sep'92 'excellent collection ... The choice of contributors was excellent. The essays are uniformly of a high quality ... it is an excellent secondary source for anyone wishing to take a serious look at the Physics.' Robert Mayhew, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Review of Metaphysics, September 1993 `Readers with a background in Aristotle's physical theories will find well-informed and insightful investigations into Aristotle's methods in natural philosophy.'
