Brill's Studies in Intellectual His New Perspectives on Aristotelianism and Its Critics, Book 233, (Hardcover)

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.
