Giacomo Zabarella (1533-1589) was a Renaissance Aristotelian who enjoyed extraordinary prestige in life, especially in the fields of logic and natural philosophy. The De rebus naturalibus libri XXX was completed by Zabarella at the very end of his life: the dedicatory letter to Pope Sixtus V is dated just a month before his death. This writing had great impact and a large influence, as its editorial success in Italy and abroad (especially in Germany) reflects. It represents a massive effort to collect all the issues that come under the heading of “natural philosophy” and that had been taking shape from antiquity to the time of Zabarella within the vast and multifarious field of Aristotelianism: hence its encyclopedic character and extraordinary extension.

"On the basis of careful textual exegesis and philosophical analysis, and contrary to the received view, Mark R. Wheeler demonstrates that Aristotle presents and systematically explicates his definition of the essence of the truth in the Metaphysics. Aristotle states the nominal definitions of the terms "truth" and "falsehood" as part of his arguments in defense of the logical axioms. These nominal definitions express conceptions of truth and falsehood his philosophical opponents would have recognized and accepted in the context of dialectical argument. On the basis of these nominal definitions, Aristotle develops his definitions of the essences of truth and falsehood--his "real" definitions of truth and falsehood. Aristotle's methodical exposition of his essential definitions of truth and falsehood in the Metaphysics serves as a well-developed example of how his philosophical inquiry starts with nominal definitions and ends with real definitions. Wheeler also argues for the novel claim that Aristotle defines the most fundamental kind of truth in terms of accurate measurement. Aristotle's metrical conception of truth serves as the theoretical basis for specifying the truth conditions of various assertions, for identifying the sorts of beings implicated in these truth conditions, and for explaining the nature of approximate truth and falsehood. Far from offering us a minimal account of truth, Wheeler shows how Aristotle offers us a sophisticated and metrical theory of truth"--

Aus der Gerechtigkeitslehre des Aristoteles hat sich in der rechtsphilosophischen Tradition die Unterscheidung zwischen ausgleichender und austeilender Gerechtigkeit entwickelt. Die ausgleichende Gerechtigkeit (justitia commutativa) gilt als die Gerechtigkeit des Privatrechts, die austeilende Gerechtigkeit (justitia distributiva) als die Gerechtigkeit des öffentlichen Rechts. Die Notwendigkeit methodischer Theoriebildung für die Erforschung subjektiver Gerechtigkeitsvorstellungen durch die Sozialpsychologie hat zu einer Systematisierung möglicher Gerechtigkeitsvorstellungen geführt, wie sie bisher in der Rechtsphilosophie kaum erreicht war. Sie zeigt, daß in dem Begriffspaar „austeilende“ und „ausgleichende“ Gerechtigkeit zwei unterschiedliche Dimensionen angesprochen sind, die es zu trennen gilt, nämlich einerseits sachliche Verteilungsprinzipien und andererseits das Verfahren und die Umstände ihrer Anwendung. Für dieses Mißverständnis kann sich die Rechtsphilosophie nicht auf Aristoteles berufen. Vielmehr erweist sich, daß Aristoteles die Grundprinzipien der modernen Equity-Theorie intuitiv vorweggenommen hat.

"This book explores the relationship between a scientifically updated Aristotelian philosophy of nature and a scientifically engaged theology of nature that cuts across interdisciplinary boundaries. It features original contributions by some of the best scholars engaging with Aristotelianism in contemporary metaphysics, philosophy of science, and philosophical theology. Despite the growing interest in Aristotelian approaches to contemporary philosophy of science, few metaphysicians have engaged directly with the question of how a neo-Aristotelian metaphysics of nature might change the landscape for theological discussion concerning theology and naturalism, the place of human beings within nature, or the problem of divine causality. The chapters in this volume are collected into three thematic sections: Naturalism and Nature, Mind and Nature, and God and Nature. By pushing the current boundaries of neo-Aristotelian metaphysics to recover the traditional notion of substantial forms in physics, reframe the principle of proportionality in biology, and restore the hierarchy of being familiar to ancient philosophy, this book advances a metaphysically unified framework that accommodates both scientific and theological knowledge, enriching the interaction between science, philosophy and theology. Neo-Aristotelian Metaphysics and the Theology of Nature will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in metaphysics, philosophy of science, natural theology, philosophical theology, and analytic theology"--
