EBREY, D., (ed.), Theory and Practice in Aristotle's Natural Science. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge (...), 2017. 1st paperback ed. VIII,261p. Paperback. 'How are Aristotle’s scientific treatises related to his thoughts on metaphysics and the methodology of the sciences? Generations of scholars have taken these to be largely independent. The Posterior Analytics formalizes scientific reasoning as a series of syllogisms with premises derived from definitions; the biological writings contain few definitions and are free of explicit syllogisms. Further, Aristotle rarely works through how any of his more abstruse metaphysical speculations are employed in biological and other scientific works. In recent decades, however, it has become clearer how Aristotle’s thought as a theoretical philosopher is integrated with his scientific research. There is no clean separation between Aristotle’s empirical research and more general investigations into knowledge and nature, which fall more squarely into what we recognize as philosophy. The two are implicated in each other and are to some extent inseparable. As its title indicates, the present volume contains new scholarship along these lines. A common theme is that longstanding misinterpretations of Aristotelian theory are due to a failure to appreciate the mutual implications that hold between Aristotle’s own practice as a natural scientist and what we would consider his more philosophical work. The volume as a whole aims to correct such purported misinterpretations. Not all readers will find all the proposed corrections here equally convincing, but not a single paper is less than intriguing, and the volume advances the project of understanding how Aristotle’s work hangs together as a whole.(...) Ebrey and his contributors deserve thanks for showing new ways to appeal to Aristotle’s practice to shed light on his theory, and vice versa. (...)

ECK, C. and MCALLISTER, J. and VALL, R. V. D., The Question of Style in Philosophy and the Arts. Cambridge University Press, 2010. 258p. Paperback. Series: Cambridge Studies in Philosophy and the Arts. The eighteenth and nineteenth centuries witnessed a change in the perception of the arts and of philosophy. In the arts this transition occurred around 1800, with, for instance, the breakdown of Vitruvianism in architecture, while in philosophy the foundationalism of which Descartes and Spinoza were paradigmatic representatives, which presumed that philosophy and the sciences possessed a method of ensuring the demonstration of truths, was undermined by the idea, asserted by Nietzsche and Wittgenstein, that there exist alternative styles of enquiry among which a choice is open. The essays in this book examine the circumstances, features, and consequences of this historical transition, exploring in particular new aspects and instances of the inter-relatedness of content and its formal representation in both the arts and philosophy.

Series: Wege der Forschung, 61. ‘Disons-le d’emblée, ce recueil de sources constitue un vrai modèle du genre et comblera les voeux de tous ceux qui, s’intéressant à l’esclavage antique, veulent en prendre connaissance à travers les sources mêmes que l’Antiquité nous z léguées. Tout d’abord parce qu’il contient aussi la version originale des textes grecs et latins. (…) Mais ce n’est pas le seul atout de ce livre. Car il y a aussi la grande diversité des thèmes retenus qui fait que cette anthologie offre un panorama complet des aspects multiples (juridique, économiques, sociaux, religieux) de l’esclavage sous le Haut-Empire (Ier au IIIe siècle) et permet ainsi à l’utilisateur et au lecteur (car ce recueil se prête à une lecture continue) de se faire une idée nuancée de ce phénomène important de la société romaine. (…) Ce livre est appelé à rendre de grands services dans l’enseignement universitaire.’ (ROBERT DUTHOY in L’antiquité classique, 1994, pp.549-550). € 35.00 (Antiquarian)
