书籍简介

这是一本1988年的亚里士多德哲学介绍，李尔教授从亚里士多德本人的出发点开始。形而上学》的第Yi句话指出，所有人类的本性都是渴望了解。但是，在这个世界上，我们被这种欲望所驱使是为了什么？一个生物有什么本性；我们的人性是什么；世界必须是什么样子才能被理解；而我们必须是什么样子才能系统地理解它？通过对这些问题的思考，李尔教授向我们介绍了亚里士多德哲学的精髓，并引导我们阅读亚里士多德的核心文本--选自《物理学》、《形而上学》、《伦理学》、《政治学》以及生物和逻辑学著作中。该书以直接、清晰的风格撰写，以积极、参与的方式让读者参与到主题中来。

This is a 1988 philosophical introduction to Aristotle, and Professor Lear starts where Aristotle himself starts. The first sentence of the Metaphysics states that all human beings by their nature desire to know. But what is it for us to be animated by this desire in this world? What is it for a creature to have a nature; what is our human nature; what must the world be like to be intelligible; and what must we be like to understand it systematically? Through a consideration of these questions Professor Lear introduces us to the essence of Aristotle's philosophy and guides us through the central Aristotelian texts - selected from the Physics, Metaphysics, Ethics, Politics and from the biological and logical works. The book is written in a direct, lucid style which engages the reader with the themes in an active, participatory manner.
