Ousía and Enérgeia
The Doctrine of Being in the Aristotelian Metaphysics
Author: Joseph Owens
Publisher: PIMS
ISBN: 9780888444097
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 580
Book Description
The problem of being is central to Western metaphysics. Etched sharply in the verses of Parmenides, it took on distinctive colouring in Aristotle as the subject matter of a science expressly labelled 'theological.' For Aristotle, being could not be shared in generic fashion by other natures. As a nature it had to be found not in various species but in a primary instance only. The science specified by the primary nature was accordingly the one science that under the aspect of being treated universally of whatever is: it dealt with being qua being.

Directory of American Scholars
Substance, Form, and Psyche
Author: Montgomery Furth
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521035613
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
This book is a re-thinking of Aristotle's metaphysical theory of material substances. The view of the author is that the 'substances' are the living things, the organisms: chiefly, the animals. There are three main parts to the book: Part I, a treatment of the concepts of substance and nonsubstance in Aristotle's Categories; Part III, which discusses some important features of biological objects as Aristotelian substances, as analysed in Aristotle's biological treatises and the de Anima; and Part V, which attempts to relate the conception of substance as interpreted so far to that of the Metaphysics itself. The main aim of the study is to recreate in modern imagination a vivid, intuitive understanding of Aristotle's concept of material substance: a certain distinctive concept of what an individual material object is.
