Abstract

Aristotle is a severe critic of traditional religion, believing it to be false, yet he also holds that traditional religion and its institutions are necessary if any city, including the ideal city he describes in the Politics, is to exist and flourish. This book provides, for the first time, a coherent account of the socio-political role which Aristotle attributes to traditional religion despite his rejection of its content. Mor Segev argues that Aristotle thinks traditional religion is politically necessary because it prepares the ground for what he considers the pinnacle of human endeavor: attaining the knowledge of first philosophy, whose objects are real beings worthy of being called gods. Developing this interpretation, Segev goes on to analyze Aristotle's references to the myths of traditional Greek religion, and to assess his influence on medieval Jewish and Christian theology and philosophy of religion.

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.

Abstract

Die Zurückweisung, mit der viele frühneuzeitliche Autoren der aristotelischen Naturphilosophie begegnen, geht häufig mit einer emphatischen Aufnahme der hellenistischen Philosophie einher. Vor diesem Hintergrund fragt die vorliegende Untersuchung nach den prinzipiellen Unterschieden zwischen Aristoteles und seinen hellenistischen Nachfolgern. Ausgangspunkt ist die für die aristotelische Philosophie zentrale Analyse des Phänomens der Bewegung. It is well known that Early Modern philosophers rejected Aristotelian philosophy of nature. At the same time, they passionately embraced the major Hellenistic schools of philosophy. The study takes this fact as a point of departure to explain the fundamental differences between Aristotle and his Hellenistic successors. At the heart of the investigation lies Aristotle’s discussion of motion, which is essential for many Aristotelian conceptions.

Abstract

Reading Aristotle: Argument and Exposition argues that Aristotle’s treatises must be approached as progressive unfoldings of a unified position that may extend over a single book, an entire treatise, or across several works. Contributors demonstrate that Aristotle relies on both explanatory and expository principles. Explanatory principles include familiar doctrines such as the four causes, actuality’s priority over potentiality and nature’s doing nothing in vain. Expository principles are at least as important. They pertain to proper sequence, pedagogical method, the role of reputable views and the opinions of predecessors, the equivocity of key explanatory terms, and the need to scrupulously observe distinctions between the different sciences. A sensitivity to expository principles is crucial to understanding both particular arguments and entire treatises.

Abstract

Dans Aristote au Mont-Saint-Michel, Sylvain Gouguenheim prétend réfuter ce qu'il nomme une vulgate : le rôle des Arabes dans la formation de l'Europe latine. Celle-ci aurait reçu la pensée grecque de chrétiens orientaux puis des traducteurs gréco-latins. Ce livre amène les médiévistes à s'interroger sur la méthode historique et la déontologie des historiens, en adoptant différents points de vue : histoire de la philosophie et des sciences, histoire sociale, codicologie (Jacques de Venise)… Al-Kindī et al-Fārābī sont de remarquables connaisseurs d'Aristote ; Avicenne a accompli une percée décisive en métaphysique par la distinction de l'essence et de l'existence ; en mathématiques et sciences physiques, la créativité des auteurs arabophones est, pour les spécialistes, incontestable. Quant au rôle d'intermédiaire attribue au Mont-Saint-Michel, il relève de la fable : Gouguenheim ignore tout de la production et de la circulation des manuscrits. Qu'un éditeur prestigieux ait fait paraitre un pareil livre conduit les médiévistes à s'interroger sur la formation et la diffusion de leur savoir : eux dont les recherches sont financées par des fonds publics, doivent se faire entendre des qu'un dès leur divague. Le présent ouvrage introduit de la rationalité et de la sérénité dans les débats interculturels. Il s'adresse à ceux qu'intéressent le dialogue des cultures, aux professeurs du secondaire qui, charges d'un enseignement sur ce thème, ont été déconcertés.

Abstract

In this book, Erick Raphael Jiménez examines Aristotle's concept of mind (nous), a key concept in Aristotelian psychology, metaphysics, and epistemology. Drawing on a close analysis of De Anima, Jiménez argues that mind is neither disembodied nor innate, as has commonly been held, but an embodied ability that emerges from learning and discovery. Looking to Aristotle's metaphysics and epistemology, Jiménez argues that just as Aristotelian mind is not innate, intelligibility is not an innate feature of the objects of Aristotelian mind, but an outcome of certain mental constructions that make those objects intelligible. Conversely, it is through these same mental constructions that thinkers become intelligent, or come to possess minds. Connecting this account to Aristotle's metaphysics and epistemology, Jiménez shows how this concept of mind fits within Aristotle's wider philosophy. His bold interpretation will interest a wide range of readers in ancient and later philosophy.

Abstract

What does it mean to speak for nature? Contemporary environmental critics warn that giving a voice to nonhuman nature reduces it to a mere echo of our own needs and desires; they caution that it is a perverse form of anthropocentrism. And yet nature's voice proved a powerful and durable ethical tool for premodern writers, many of whom used it to explore what it meant to be an embodied creature or to ask whether human experience is independent of the natural world in which it is forged.The history of the late medieval period can be retold as the story of how nature gained an authoritative voice only to lose it again at the onset of modernity. This distinctive voice, Kellie Robertson argues, emerged from a novel historical confluence of physics and fiction-writing. Natural philosophers and poets shared a language for talking about physical inclination, the inherent desire to pursue the good that was found in all things living and nonliving. Moreover, both natural philosophers and poets believed that representing the visible world was a problem of morality rather than mere description. Based on readings of academic commentaries and scientific treatises as well as popular allegorical poetry, Nature Speaks contends that controversy over Aristotle's natural philosophy gave birth to a philosophical poetics that sought to understand the extent to which the human will was necessarily determined by the same forces that shaped the rest of the material world.Modern disciplinary divisions have largely discouraged shared imaginative responses to this problem among the contemporary sciences and humanities. Robertson demonstrates that this earlier worldview can offer an alternative model of human-nonhuman complementarity, one premised neither on compulsory human exceptionalism nor on the simple reduction of one category to the other. Most important, Nature Speaks assesses what is gained and what is lost when nature's voice goes silent.
