Focusing on Aristotle's important but neglected essay, "Peri Ideon", this study explores the philosophical merits of his criticism, and relates Plato's and Aristotle's views to contemporary views about universals, properties, meaning, and knowledge. Though this book is scholarly in character, it is not aimed exclusively at specialists in ancient philosphy, but at a broader philosophical readership. Greek is translitterated through Fine's discussion.

New. 0198239491. *** FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request ***-*** IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT-FLAWLESS COPY, BRAND NEW, PRISTINE, NEVER OPENED-416 pages. Book Description: "The Peri ide^on (On Ideas) is the only work in which Aristotle systematically sets out and criticizes arguments for the existence of Platonic forms. Gail Fine presents the first full-length treatment in English of this important but neglected work. She asks how, and how well, Aristotleunderstands Plato's theory of forms, and why and with what justification he favors an alternative metaphysical scheme. She examines the significance of the Peri ide^on for some central questions about Plato's theory of forms--whether, for example, there are forms corresponding to every property oronly to some, and if only to some, then to which ones; whether forms are universals, particulars or both; and whether they are meanings, properties or both. Fine also provides a general discussion of Plato's theory of forms, and of our evidence about the Peri ide^on and its date, scope, and aims. While she pays careful attention to the details of the text, she also relates it to contemporary philosophical concerns. The book will be valuable for anyone interested in metaphysics ancient or modern."--with a bonus offer--
