Description: On Ideas by Gail Fine Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This is the first book on Aristotles important but neglected essay Peri ideon, On Ideas, to be published in English. Gail Fine explores the philosophical merits of Aristotles criticisms of Plato, and relates their views to current debates about universals, properties, meaning, and knowledge. The full, annotated text of Peri ideon is included, with translation. Publisher Description The Peri ideon (On Ideas) is the only work in which Aristotle systematically sets out and criticizes arguments for the existence of Platonic forms. Gail Fine presents the first full-length treatment in English of this important but neglected work . She asks how, and how well, and why and with what justification he favours an alternative metaphysical scheme. She also examines the significance of the Peri ideon for some central questions aboutPlatos theory of forms - whether, for example, there are forms corresponding to every property or only to some, then to which ones; whether forms are universals, particulars, or both; and whether they are meanings,properties, or both. In addition to discussing the Peri ideon and its sources in Platos dialogues, Fine also provides a general discussion of Platos theory of forms, and of our evidence about the date, scope, and aims of the Peri ideon. While she pays careful attention to the details of the text, she also relates the issues to current philosophical concerns. The book will be valuable for anyone interested in metaphysics ancient or modern.
