Abstract

A common theme uniting this excellent collection is that Aristotle in the Physics--both qua scientist and qua philosopher--is worthy of our attention and should be taken seriously. The ten essays, all of them new, cover much of the Physics. The choice of contributors was excellent. Many have written on similar topics in the past, and have here brought their expertise and insights to bear on the same issues as they appear in the Physics. The essays are uniformly of a high quality. What follows are descriptions of each one, no doubt too short to do justice to any of them.
