The first sentence of the Metaphysics states that all human beings by their nature desire to know. But what is it for us to be animated by this desire in this world? What is it for a creature to have a nature; what is our human nature; what must the world be like to be intelligible; and what must we be like to understand it systematically? Through a consideration of these questions Professor Lear introduces us to the essence of Aristotle's philosophy and guides us through the central Aristotelian texts - selected from the Physics, Metaphysics, Ethics, Politics and from the biological and logical works. The book is written in a direct, lucid style which engages the reader with the themes in an active, participatory manner.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 226mmItem Length: 150mmItem Width: 20mmItem Weight: 480gAuthor: Jonathan LearGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityRelease Year: 1988 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
