Aristotle Metaphysics



aristotle metaphysics
I have to choose between these 3 philosophy books which is the most compelling?

Plato’s The Republic
Aristotle Metaphysics
Sigmund Freuds The interpretation of dreams
I cant decide which one I should get so can you guys help me out?

I’d say read them all. Yet, if you must pick one I’s choose ‘Plato’s Republic’. It takes the reader on a search for the true meaning of justice and sheds light onto the building of the ‘ideal state’ and its degeneration into different forms of tyranny. I’ve read the REpublic twice already and I’ve fallen in love with it twice. It’s so interesting and a beautiful piece of literature indeed.

Metaphysics - Aristotle


Metaphysics – Aristotle


$32.06


Metaphysics begins with sketching the history of philosophy. For Aristotle, philosophy arose historically after basic necessities were secured. Metaphysics is Aristotle’s version of philosophy examining the nature of reality, including the relationship between mind and matter, substance and attribute, fact and value. Aristotle argues that there are a handful of universal truths. Aristotle’s works have influenced science, religion, and philosophy for nearly two thousand years. He could be thought of as the father of logical thought. Aristotle wrote: "There is nothing in the intellect that was not first in the senses." He wrote that everything that is learned in life is learned through sensory perception. Aristotle was the first to establish the founding principle of logic. The great writer Dante called Aristotle "The Master of those who know."

In this book, Theodore Scaltsas brings the insights of contemporary philosophy to bear on a classic problem in metaphysics that stems from Aristotle’s theory of substance. Scaltsas provides an analysis of the enigmatic notions of potentiality and actuality, which he uses to explain Aristotle’s substantial holism by showing how the concrete and the abstract parts of a substance form a dynamic, diachronic whole.

Always passionately interested in natural phenomena, Aristotle eventually dissented from Plato’s idealist premise that what we perceive is just a pale reflection of the true reality. The Metaphysics is Aristotle’s first mature statement of his own philosophical understanding of reality. An extraordinary synthesis; integrating the natural and rational aspens of the world, Aristotle’s Metaphysics probes some of the deepest questions of philosophy: What is existence? How is change possible? What makes something the same thing at different times? Are there things that must exist for anything else to exist at all? Furthermore, with his notion of "substance" and his associated concepts of matter and form, essence and accident, and potentiality and actuality, Aristotle laid the foundations for Western speculative thought on the nature of reality. Hugh Lawson-Tancred’s translation achieves a readability absent from earlier versions, and in a stimulating introductory essay he highlights the central themes of one of philosophy’s supreme masterpieces.
