Description
The aim of this book is to ask through a study of one of his most complicated treatises on explanation, how far, and in what sense, the demands of the 'scientific person' are Aristotle's.
Reviews"In virtue of its text alone, this book represents a major advance; and the essays, which range far beyond the text ..., are considerable works of philosophical interpretation in their own right. Anyone interested in Aristotle will want to own this book: it will be conned, discussed, and valued, for years to come."--Jonathan Barnes, Greece and Rome "An achievement that deserves warm thanks and congratulation."--John Ackrill, Philosophical Review
