 | A Masterpiece. Exhaustive and Complete! Apr 6, 2000 |
| If you enjoy Aristotle and Aquinas and would like to gain a better understanding on Aristotle's work titled "Physics," then this is definitely a book you need to own. While there are literally hundreds of titles in print and out of print (but able to be found) on Aristotle's physics, there is no book that matches this one. This is yet another example of the "dumb ox" rising to the occasion again. Aquinas takes Aristotle's "Physics" lecture by lecture (i.e. passage by passage) and comments on what Aristotle is espousing. This is 638 pages of great detail, philosophy, and comments by one of the greatest philosophers in philosophical history (Aquinas), about one of the greatest philosopher's work. The work is translated by Blackwell, Spath, and Thirlkel, and has a forward written by one of the most renown Thomistic scholars of our day, namely, Ralph McInerny. The translators have done a wonderful job of taking a difficult topic and language and making it easy to read and simple to follow. Aquinas breaks down all of Aristotle's arguments, writings, comments, etc. into helpful and easy to understand comments. Furthermore, Aquinas takes words/phrases that are used by Aristotle and explains their context, intent, and meaning. Anybody who is familiar with Aquinas knows that Aquinas can say more in less than most if not all of the greatest philosophers. Therefore, if you want a commentary that will exhaustively explain Aristotle's "Physics" then look no further. | | | Write your own review about Commentary on Aristotle's Physics [Aristotelian Commentary Series]
