Sarah Broadie Knihy

In this book, Sarah Broadie presents an original and lucid in-depth discussion of the Republic's philosopher-rulers, their dialectic, and their relationship to the form of the good. By reconceiving that form as 'interrogative', the book interprets those central reference-points of Platonism in down-to-earth terms without undermining Plato's philosophical greatness.

This examination of Aristotle's concept of natural substance and its implications for change, process, agency, teleology, mathematical continuity, and eternal motion illustrates the conceptual power of Aristotle's metaphysics of nature along with its scientific limitations and internal tensions.
