  • Aristotle on Matter, Form, and Moving Causes

    The Hylomorphic Theory of Substantial Generation

    by Devin Henry ...
    This book examines an important area of Aristotle's philosophy: the generation of substances. While other changes presuppose the existence of a substance (Socrates grows taller), substantial generation results in something genuinely new that did not exist before (Socrates himself). The central argument of this book is that Aristotle defends a 'hylomorphic' model of substantial generation. In its ... Read more

  • Bridging the Gap between Aristotle's Science and Ethics

    Edited by Devin Henry, Karen Margrethe Nielsen ...
    This book consolidates emerging research on Aristotle's science and ethics in order to explore the extent to which the concepts, methods, and practices he developed for scientific inquiry and explanation are used to investigate moral phenomena. Each chapter shows, in a different way, that Aristotle's ethics is much more like a science than it is typically represented. The upshot of this is twofold ... Read more

  • Conversations of Socrates

    by Xenophon ...
    Translated by Hugh Tredennick, Robin Waterfield ...
    After the execution of Socrates in 399 BC, a number of his followers wrote dialogues featuring him as the protagonist and, in so doing, transformed the great philosopher into a legendary figure. Xenophon's portrait is the only one other than Plato's to survive, and while it offers a very personal interpretation of Socratic thought, it also reveals much about the man and his philosophical views. In ... Read more

  • Aristotle: Eudemian Ethics

    by Brad Inwood, Raphael Woolf ...
    Series series Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy
    Aristotle's Eudemian Ethics has been unjustly neglected in comparison with its more famous counterpart the Nicomachean Ethics. This is in large part due to the fact that until recently no complete translation of the work has been available. But the Eudemian Ethics is a masterpiece in its own right, offering valuable insights into Aristotle's ideas on virtue, happiness and the good life. This ... Read more

  • Knowledge and Self-Knowledge in Plato's Theaetetus

    by Andrea Tschemplik ...
    Knowledge and Self-Knowledge in Plato's Theaetetus advances a new explanation for the apparent failure of the Theaetetus to come to a satisfactory conclusion about the definition of knowledge. Tschemplik argues that understanding this aporetic dialogue in light of the fact that it was conducted with two noted mathematicians shows that for Plato, mathematics was not the paradigm for philosophy. She ... Read more

  • Ancient Philosophical Poetics

    by Malcolm Heath ...
    Series series Key Themes in Ancient Philosophy
    What is poetry? Why do human beings produce and consume it? What effects does it have on them? Can it give them insight into truth, or is it dangerously misleading? This book is a wide-ranging study of the very varied answers which ancient philosophers gave to such questions. An extended discussion of Plato's Republic shows how the two discussions of poetry are integrated with each other and with ... Read more

  • Genealogy of the Tragic

    Greek Tragedy and German Philosophy

    by Joshua Billings ...

The book ... Read more

    Positive Elenchus in a 'Socratic' Dialogue

    by Thomas M. Tuozzo ...

Through careful, contextually sensitive analysis of Plato's arguments concerning the virtue of sophrosyne, Thomas M. Tuozzo brings the dialogue's lines of inquiry together, carrying Plato's argument forward to a substantive conclusion. This ... Read more
