Aristotle On His Predecessors: Being The First Book Of His Metaphysics is a book written by A. E. Taylor that provides a comprehensive analysis of Aristotle's work on metaphysics. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part discussing Aristotle's views on the nature of philosophy and the second part focusing on his critique of the ideas of his predecessors.In the first part, Taylor explores Aristotle's definition of philosophy as the study of being qua being, and his belief that the ultimate goal of philosophy is to understand the nature of reality. He also discusses Aristotle's view on the relationship between philosophy and science, and how philosophy can provide a deeper understanding of the world than science alone.The second part of the book delves into Aristotle's critique of the ideas of his predecessors, including Plato, Pythagoras, and Parmenides. Taylor examines Aristotle's criticisms of their theories on the nature of reality, including their ideas on the existence of Forms, the nature of change, and the concept of being.Overall, Aristotle On His Predecessors: Being The First Book Of His Metaphysics provides a detailed analysis of Aristotle's philosophy and his critique of the ideas of his predecessors. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of philosophy and the development of metaphysical thought.This is a new release of the original 1939 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
