{"product_id":"the-oxford-handbook-of-aristotle","title":"The Oxford Handbook of Aristotle","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Oxford Handbook of Aristotle reflects the lively international character of Aristotelian studies  drawing contributors from the United Kingdom  the United States  Germany  France  Switzerland  Italy  Canada  and Japan; it also  appropriately  includes a preponderance of authors from the University of Oxford  which has been a center of Aristotelian studies for many centuries. The volume equally reflects the broad range of activity Aristotelian studies comprise today: such activity ranges from the primarily textual and philological to the application of broadly Aristotelian themes to contemporary problems irrespective of their narrow textual fidelity. In between these extremes one finds the core of Aristotelian scholarship as it is practiced today  and as it is primarily represented in this Handbook: textual exegesis and criticism. Even within this more limited core activity  one witnesses a rich range of pursuits  with some scholars seeking primarily to understand Aristotle in his own philosophical milieu and others seeking rather to place him into direct conversation with contemporary philosophers and their present-day concerns. No one of these enterprises exhausts the field. On the contrary  one of the most welcome and enlivening features of the contemporary Aristotelian scene is precisely the cross-fertilization these mutually beneficial and complementary activities offer one another.  The volume  prefaced with an introduction to Aristotles life and works by the editor  covers the main areas of Aristotelian philosophy and intellectual enquiry: ethics  metaphysics  politics  logic  language  psychology  rhetoric  poetics  theology  physical and biological investigation  and philosophical method. It also  and distinctively  looks both backwards and forwards: two chapters recount Aristotles treatment of earlier philosophers  who proved formative to his own orientations and methods  and another three chapters chart the long afterlife of Aristotles philosophy  in Late Antiquity  in the Islamic World  and in the Latin West.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44983751671861,"sku":"ByrdShop_0195187482","price":161.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780195187489.jpg?v=1770809076","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-oxford-handbook-of-aristotle","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
