Change is at the core of Aristotle's ontology. Originally the idea goes back to Plotinus, and in modern times it provides a basic assumption for phenomenologically inspired interpreters like Eugen Fink, Walter Broeker, Pierre Aubenque, and Wolfgang Wieland. Mark Sentesy joins this interpretative tradition, but he does it in an original and creative way. He offers a very compelling reconstruction of all the main aspects in Aristotle's view of the connection between change and being. --Alejandro G. Vigo Mark Sentesy's book presents an original and comprehensive reexamination of Aristotle's concept of change and of the relation of change to being. Sentesy demonstrates that Aristotle's concept of change is instrumental in leading to his analyses of such metaphysical concepts as matter, potency, actuality, and teleology. Sentesy's work is groundbreaking and opens a new horizon within which Aristotle's thought can be reanimated in a way that is both rigorous and comprehensive. --John Sallis, author of Being and Logos: Reading the Platonic Dialogues
