Reviews

This collection of articles presents a new and unexpected perspective on Aristotle. Surely, Aristotle stood for everything that is rational and the opposite of occult? But, as it turns out, both Peripatetic philosophy and a host of pseudo-Aristotles provided the foundation for medieval and early modern magic and experimental science. * Charles Burnett, Professor of the History of Islamic Influences in Europe, Warburg Institute, University of London, UK *
