Abstract

New investigations on the content, impact, and criticism of Aristotelianism in Antiquity, the Late Middle Ages, and modern ethics show that Aristotelianism is not an obsolete monolithic doctrine but a living and evolving tradition within philosophy. Modern philosophy and science are sometimes understood as anti-Aristotelian, and Early Modern philosophers often conceived their philosophical project as opposing medieval Aristotelianism. New Perspectives on Aristotelianism and Its Critics brings to light the inner complexity of these simplified oppositions by analysing Aristotle’s philosophy, the Aristotelian tradition, and criticism towards it within three topics – knowledge, rights, and the good life – in ancient, medieval, and modern philosophy. It explores the resources of Aristotle’s philosophy for breaking through some central impasses and simplified dichotomies of the philosophy of our time. Contributors are: John Drummond, Sabine Föllinger, Hallvard Fossheim, Sara Heinämaa, Roberto Lambertini, Virpi Mäkinen, Fred D. Miller, Diana Quarantotto, and Miira Tuominen.

Abstract

This book emphasises the systemic character of Aristotle's philosophy by examining questions on metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy and mind and ethics. His reliance on dialectic as the method of philosophy appears to conflict with the metaphysical realist view of his conclusions.

Abstract

The volume collects the most important papers Pierluigi Donini wrote in the last three decades with the aim of promoting a better assessment of post-hellenistic philosophy. The philosophical relevance of post-hellenistic philosophy is now widely (though not yet universally) recognized. Yet much remains to be done. The common practice of focusing each single school in itself detracts from a balanced assessment of the strategies exploited by many philosophers of the period. On the assumption that debates among schools play a major role in the philosophy of the commentators, Donini concentrates on the interaction between leading Aristotelians and Platonists and demonstrates that the developments of both systems of thought were heavily influenced by a continuous confrontation between the two schools. And whereas in cases such as Alcinous and Aspasius this is basically uncontroversial, for other authors such us Alexander, Antiochus and Plutarch the pioneering work of Donini paves the way for a better understanding of their doctrines and definitely confirms the intellectual importance of the first imperial age, when the foundations were laid of versions of both Aristotelianism and Platonism which were bound to influence the whole history of European thought, from Late Antiquity onwards.

Abstract

Methods and Methodologies explores two questions about studying the Aristotelian tradition of logic. The first, addressed by the chapters on methods in the first half of the book, is directly about the medieval logical commentaries, treatises and handbooks. How did medieval authors in the different traditions, Latin and Arabic, go about their work on Aristotelian logic? In particular, how did they themselves conceive the relationship between logic and other branches of philosophy and disciplines outside philosophy? The second question is about methodologies, the subject of the chapters in the second half of the book: it invites writers to reflect on their own and their colleagues’ practice as twenty-first century interpreters of this medieval writing on Aristotelian logic. Contributors are Sten Ebbesen, Christopher J. Martin, Christophe Erismann, Andrew Arlig, Simo Knuuttila, Amos Bertolacci, Jennifer Ashworth, Paul Thom, Gyula Klima, Matteo di Giovanni and Margaret Cameron.

Abstract

Volume 18 of Martin Heidegger's collected works presents his important 1924 Marburg lectures which anticipate much of the revolutionary thinking that he subsequently articulated in Being and Time. Here are the seeds of the ideas that would become Heidegger's unique phenomenology. Heidegger interprets Aristotle's Rhetoric and looks closely at the Greek notion of pathos. These lectures offer special insight into the development of his concepts of care and concern, being-at-hand, being-in-the-world, and attunement, which were later elaborated in Being and Time.

Abstract

Aristoteles betont an vielen Stellen die zentrale Bedeutung der Wahrnehmung für den Wissenserwerb. Wie sind diese programmatischen Aussagen interpretatorisch einzulösen? Bildet die Wahrnehmung für Aristoteles ein Fundament, das alle anderen Überzeugungen rechtfertigen kann? Oder hat sie bloß die Funktion, den Intellekt mit elementaren Informationen zu versorgen? Aristoteles' Theorie des Wissenserwerbs wurde in der Vergangenheit oft als empiristisch charakterisiert. Dafür scheinen nicht nur die programmatischen Aussagen zum Wert der Wahrnehmung, sondern auch die grundsätzliche Ablehnung angeborenen Wissens zu sprechen; der Wissenserwerb basiert einzig auf der Wahrnehmung als einem unterscheidungsfähigen Vermögen. Die Studie arbeitet heraus, welche Rolle die Wahrnehmung in Aristoteles' Theorie des Wissenserwerbs spielt. Nach einem kurzen Überblick über bisherige Interpretationen wird in einem ersten Teil anhand einer Interpretation zentraler Passagen aus De Anima die Frage geklärt, wie der Gehalt der Wahrnehmung zu bestimmen ist. Auf dieser Grundlage wendet sich die Untersuchung den einschlägigen Passagen zum Wissenserwerb aus den Zweiten Analytiken zu. Es zeigt sich, dass von einem Empirismus in einem starken Sinn nicht gesprochen werden kann. Aristoteles' Position kann als eine systematisch interessante Alternative in die gegenwärtige Epistemologie eingebracht werden.

Abstract

Entgegen der Ansicht, Aristoteles sei als Sprachphilosoph und -wissenschaftler "nur sehr wenig über Platon hinausgekommen" (H. Arens, R. Haller u.a.), will die vorliegende Untersuchung zeigen, daß Aristoteles einen tiefgreifenden Einschnitt in der Entwicklung der Sprachwissenschaft und -philosophie markiert. Er hat - in Grundzügen - die erste semantische Theorie entworfen, hat als erster eine Schrift über den (Aussage-) Satz verfaßt und hat in der Poetik den ersten systematischen Abriß einer wissenschaftlichen Grammatik vorgelegt.Eine der wesentlichen Ursachen für den Fortschrift innerhalb der antiken sprachphilosophischen Forschung ist in der veränderten Einstellung zur Sprache zu sehen. Bei Aristoteles ist die Identität von Sprache und Denken weitgehend zerbrochen. War für Platon die Sprache noch das Medium, in dem sich jedwede Form der philosophischen Erkenntnis realisierte, so ist die Sprache für Aristoteles (bloß) Ausdruck des Denkens, symbolische Repräsentation von Inhalten der Seele. Hierdurch wurde die Voraussetzung dafür geschaffen, daî sich die Sprache als eigenständiger Gegenstand der Forschung etablieren konnte. Zugleich aber kam es bei Aristoteles zu einer Abwertung der Sprache und (im Zusammenhang damit) zu einer Neubewertung der Dialektik. Für Aristoteles bildet die Dialektik nicht mehr das Zentrum der Philosophie, sondern wird zu einem - allerdings unverzichtbaren - Instrument der philosophischen Forschung.

Abstract

Julie K. Ward examines Aristotle's thought regarding how language informs our views of what is real. First she places Aristotle's theory in its historical and philosophical contexts in relation to Plato and Speusippus. Ward then explores Aristotle's theory of language as it is deployed in several works, including Ethics, Topics, Physics, and Metaphysics, so as to consider its relation to dialectical practice and scientific explanation as Aristotle conceived it.

Abstract

This is a 1988 philosophical introduction to Aristotle, and Professor Lear starts where Aristotle himself starts. The first sentence of the Metaphysics states that all human beings by their nature desire to know. But what is it for us to be animated by this desire in this world? What is it for a creature to have a nature; what is our human nature; what must the world be like to be intelligible; and what must we be like to understand it systematically? Through a consideration of these questions Professor Lear introduces us to the essence of Aristotle's philosophy and guides us through the central Aristotelian texts - selected from the Physics, Metaphysics, Ethics, Politics and from the biological and logical works. The book is written in a direct, lucid style which engages the reader with the themes in an active, participatory manner.

Abstract

The Middle Included is a systematic exploration of the meanings of logos throughout Aristotle’s work. It claims that the basic meaning is “gathering,â€? a relation that holds its terms together without isolating them or collapsing one to the other. This meaning also applies to logos in the sense of human language. Aristotle describes how some animals are capable of understanding non-firsthand experience without being able to relay it, while others relay it without understanding. Aygün argues that what distinguishes human language, for Aristotle, is its ability to both understand and relay firsthand and non-firsthand experiences. This ability is key to understanding the human condition: science, history, news media, propaganda, gossip, utopian fiction, and sophistry, as well as philosophy. Ã-mer Aygün finds Aristotle’s name for this peculiar but crucial human ability of “gatheringâ€? both experiences is logos, and this leads to a claim about the specificity of human rationality and language.
