New Perspectives On Aristotelianism And Its Critics Miira Tuominen by Miira Tuominen, Sara Heinämaa, Virpi Mäkinen (eds.) 9004274383 instant download after payment.

New investigations on the content, impact, and criticism of Aristotelianism in Antiquity, the Late Middle Ages, and modern ethics show that Aristotelianism is not an obsolete monolithic doctrine but a living and evolving tradition within philosophy. Modern philosophy and science are sometimes understood as anti-Aristotelian, and Early Modern philosophers often conceived their philosophical project as opposing medieval Aristotelianism. New Perspectives on Aristotelianism and Its Critics brings to light the inner complexity of these simplified oppositions by analysing Aristotle s philosophy, the Aristotelian tradition, and criticism towards it within three topics knowledge, rights, and the good life in ancient, medieval, and modern philosophy. It explores the resources of Aristotle s philosophy for breaking through some central impasses and simplified dichotomies of the philosophy of our time.
