'This outstanding collection of ten essays pays handsome tribute to Allan Gotthelf for his many years at the center of scholarship on Aristotelian philosophy of biology and science.' Bryn Mawr Classical Review, "....This outstanding collection of ten essays pays handsome tribute to Allan Gotthelf for his many years at the center of scholarship on Aristotelian philosophy of biology and science.... A glance at the list of contributing authors suffices to recommend this book in its entirety to specialists. A thorough reading should convince any remaining skeptics how fruitful it is.... The use of footnotes and a comprehensive bibliography are wise editorial choices.... Supplementary materials succinctly and helpfully summarize Gotthelf's life and work in classical philosophy...." --Daniel P. Maher, Assumption College, Bryn Mawr Classical Review

Synopsis
This volume of essays explores major connected themes in Aristotle's metaphysics, philosophy of nature, and ethics, especially themes related to essence, definition, teleology, activity, potentiality, and the highest good. The volume is united by the belief that all aspects of Aristotle's work need to be studied together if any one of the areas of thought is to be fully understood. Many of the papers were contributions to a conference at the University of Pittsburgh entitled 'Being, Nature, and Life in Aristotle', to honor Professor Allan Gotthelf's many contributions to the field of ancient philosophy; a few are contributions from those who were invited but could not attend. The contributors, all longstanding friends of Professor Gotthelf, are among the most accomplished scholars in the field of ancient philosophy today., This book explores major themes in Aristotle's metaphysics, his natural science and biology, and his methodology, informed by the belief that all aspects of Aristotle's work need to be studied together if any one of the areas of his thought is to be fully understood.
