Reviews

""This book performs a masterly job, both of exegesis of texts of Aristotle and his later readers, and also of comparing the two sets of texts in order to bring out the significance of the assumptions governing each interpretation and the implications for the history of philosophy in a whole range of important ways."" - Catherine Osborne, University College of Swansea
