Description
Aristotle and Other Platonists by Lloyd P. Gerson challenges the traditional view that Aristotle's philosophy was in direct opposition to Plato's. In this wide-ranging study, Gerson argues for the "harmony" of Platonism and Aristotelianism, presenting a compelling case for reevaluating the relationship between these two influential philosophers. Gerson examines the Neoplatonic commentators on Aristotle, who based their interpretation on the principle of harmony. By applying this principle to ancient studies of Aristotle's key works, such as Categories, Physics, De Anima, Metaphysics, and Nicomachean Ethics, Gerson reveals new insights into these often-intractable texts. This book offers a fresh perspective on the philosophical results that can be achieved by acknowledging harmony between Platonism and Aristotelianism.
