About this title

Synopsis

This work has been written from the conviction that general statements about the philosophical position taken by Theophrastus in this small, but extremely difficult treatise, can only be made on the basis of a detailed interpretation of each and every sentence of the text. This has resulted in a full commentary which evades no philological or philosophical question that should be asked in order to elicit from the text a maximum of information. The outcome is a cautious but nonetheless explicit and dterminate characterization and evaluation of Theophrastean metaphysics as a biologists' metaphysics, which derserves the attention of philosophers in its own right. The author has paid special attention to questions of Peripatetic idiom and terminology, thus increasing the value of this book to students of Peripatetic thought in general. The information brought together has been made easily accessible by full indexes.

Store Description

Mount Angel Abbey Library is housed in a world-renowned building designed by Finnish architect, Alvar Aalto. The architecture of the Abbey Library reflects and shapes its spirit and purpose. The building's natural light illumines the multi-color bindings, offered on open stacks against a disciplined black and white background, softened by undulating curves and light colored wood. The structure, including three stories and a mezzanine, was completed in 1970. The library is a part of Mount Angel Abbey a community of Benedictine Monks.
