Reseña del libro "Aristotle on His Predecessors: Being the First Book of His Metaphysics (en Inglés)"
Aristotle On His Predecessors: Being The First Book Of His Metaphysics is a book written by A. E. Taylor that provides a comprehensive analysis of Aristotle's work on metaphysics. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part discussing Aristotle's views on the nature of philosophy and the second part focusing on his critique of the ideas of his predecessors.In the first part, Taylor explores Aristotle's definition of philosophy as the study of being qua being, and his belief that the ultimate goal of philosophy is to understand the nature of reality. He also discusses Aristotle's view on the relationship between philosophy and science, and how philosophy can provide a deeper understanding of the world than science alone.The second part of the book delves into Aristotle's critique of the ideas of his predecessors, including Plato, Pythagoras, and Parmenides. Taylor examines Aristotle's criticisms of their theories on the nature of reality, including their ideas on the existence of Forms, the nature of change, and the concept of being.Overall, Aristotle On His Predecessors: Being The First Book Of His Metaphysics provides a detailed analysis of Aristotle's philosophy and his critique of the ideas of his predecessors. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of philosophy and the development of metaphysical thought.This is a new release of the original 1939 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
