New Perspectives on Aristotelianism and its Critics

by Sara Heinämaa, Miira Tuominen, and Diana Quarantotto

New Perspectives on Aristotelianism and its Critics, Leiden, Boston: Brill., Nov 2014

New investigations regarding the content, impact, and criticism of Aristotelianism in antiquity, ... more New investigations regarding 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 in opposition to medieval Aristotelianism. New Perspectives on Aristotelianism and Its Critics brings to light the inner complexity of these simplified antagonisms by analysing Aristotle’s philosophy, the Aristotelian tradition, and criticism towards it with respect to three topics – knowledge, rights, and the good life – in ancient, medieval, and modern philosophy. It explores the potential Aristotle’s philosophy has in helping to overcome some of the central impasses and simplified dichotomies in present-day philosophy.
