Avicenna

Routledge & Kegan Paul Books, 1973

The Master Seer
Ibn Sina (980-1037), or known as "Avicenna" in the Latin West, is, in my humble opinion, after having just finished reading his "The Metaphysica", the greatest of the Medieval philosophers. I've read Boethius, Erigena, Averroes, Al-Farabi, Anselm, Eckhart, Scotus, Aquinas, Ockham, De Cusa, etc., and none of them have left me with the depth and breadth of knowledge nor concepts that Ibn Sina has. ...

The doctrine of being in the Aristotelian metaphysics: A study in the Greek background of mediaeval thought

Joseph Owens

Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, 1957

Aristotelian Equivocity
This is a classic of Aristotelian secondaries. Owens' (not to be confused with G.E.L. Owen) account of pros hen equivocity and the "as structure" of the science of Being (metaphysics) is a major contribution to Aristotle scholarship and is more than likely the source for G.E.L. Owen's notion of "focal meaning". This is a thematic account of Aristotle's Metaphysics focusing on the role of ...

Thorough and Careful Scholarship; A signal Contribution to Theological Thought on Theodicy
GOD AND EVIL: Thorough and Careful Scholarship David Birnbaum's scholarly work is a careful and thorough piece of scholarship on an arcane subject that, in these days of the mass natural and man-made disaster, has even the general public scratching its head. As a Christian who had pretty carefully researched the literature on the subject of theodicy, I was very much surprised to find here ...

A signal contribution to theological thought on theodicy
David Birnbaum's newest book, Summa Metaphysica II: God and Good, is a companion to his earlier work, Summa Metaphysica I: God and Evil. In these academically-acclaimed works, the author reconciles the mystery of God and the human condition, with a new metaphysical paradigm that is the first work to meaningfully go beyond Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologica (c. 1265-72). In doing so, the ...

The argument of Aristotle's metaphysics

Edith Henry Johnson

Xerox University Microfilms, 1975

All Human Beings By Nature Desire To Know
I read these works for a graduate seminar on Aristotle. Topic of Metaphysics is Ousia=substance and being. What is the meaning of being? With respect to matter and form, it is primarily about form. Analytically both can be separate and distinct, but not in reality. One can analyze matter by potentiality and actuality. Matter can't answer the question of being without form. Some natural ...

Alexandri Aphrodisiensis in Aristotelis Metaphysica Commentaria (Vol I)

Walter de Gruyter, 1962

Between 1883 and 1909 a team of scholars led by Hermann Diels produced 15,000 pages of edited text of commentaries on Aristotle in Greek from the 2nd to the 13th Century AD; in most cases the first critical editions of these texts, and the first editions printed since the Renaissance. The 23 volumes (in 51 original fascicles) constitute a fundamental resource for the interpretation of Aristotle's own texts, for the history of that interpretation ...
