Aristotle''s philosophy of mind has recently attracted renewed attention and respect from philosophers. This volume brings together outstanding new essays on De Anima by a distinguished international group of contributors including, in this paperback efdition, a new essay by Myles Burnyeat. The essays form a running commentary on the work, covering such topics as the relation between body and soul, sense-perception, imagination, memory, desire, and thought. the authors, writing with philosophical subtlety and wide-ranging scholarship, present the philosophical substance of Aristotle''s views to the modern reader. they locate their interpretations firmly within the context of Aristotle''s thought as a whole.
Industry Reviews
`exemplary and essential collection ... valuable not least because it better enables us to decide for ourselves whether Burnyeat is right and Aristotle is all wrong.' A W Price, Times Literary Supplement 'This volume is without doubt a valuable collection of fine essays well representative of the range of topics in Aristotle's De Anima' Bryn Mawr Classical Review 3.6 (1992) `mainly of new works by reputable philosophers, and as rewarding as any I have met' Classical Review 'quite simply a blockbuster ... the collections will form the indispensable starting-point for all future work' Richard Wallace, Greece & Rome 'I found all of the essays well worth reading.' Thomas H. Tobin, Loyola University of Chicago, Religious Studies Review, Volume 20, Number 1/January 1994 'As an ensemble piece this volume is outstanding, and no one with even a mild interest in Aristotle's De Anima will want to be without it. The individual pieces are without exception worthwhile and interesting, and some of them are exceptionally good. The whole, however, and what it achieves is greater than the parts considered individually ... the lively and engaging consideration of new ideas and new directions found throughout this large and important collection shows ... that scholarship on the De Anima is more alive than it has been in some time.' Kurt Pritzl, The Catholic University of America, Review of Metaphysics, June 1994
