and his own contributions are lucid. Highly recommended."--
CHOICE
"The work succeeds remarkably well in providing a vast panorama of
the heterogeneous issues that occupied Aristotle and currently
occupy Aristotle scholars. The quality of the contributions is
high. And while the bulk of the volume and the degree of
sophistication of some contributions risk making it intimidating
for beginners, it will prove an invaluable tool for readers already
acquainted with ancient philosophy, who wish to familiarise
themselves with the
interpretative difficulties connected with a particular
Aristotelian theme. The many
challenging views set out by the contributors are likely to
stimulate reflection and debate." -- The Classical Review
