Foreword
Interest in Aristotle seems to maintain a steady pulse. True, the reasons for the persistent attention to his writings may vary widely. Great philosophers as well as great artists have the gift of inspiring profoundly different conceptions and meaning in the individuals who contemplate their work. The Greek commentators, the Islamic intellectuals, the medieval Scholastics, the Renaissance humanists, the nineteenth-century philologists, the twentieth-century analysts, and numerous other scholarly movements, have all shown an absorbing fascination in Aristotle in spite of the differences in their respective viewpoints. This history would in itself be ample testimony to the breadth of the Aristotelian achievement. It would augur intellectual profit for any type of reader who approaches the Stagirite, and would make manifest the propriety of Dante's characterization of him as the teacher of those who know.
The breadth of universal interest and the openness to the various fields of scholarly engagement may have their explanation, partly at least, in Aristotle's own conception of human intellectual endeavor. For him all human knowledge is solidly grounded in the things experienced in the course of everyday life. These things are obvious and accessible to all inquirers. They are what a person becomes and is cognitionally in ordinary sensation and understanding. In that way they form the common basis for all subsequent reasoning by individuals or groups. Their qualitative and quantitative aspects give rise to the far-reaching penetration of the natural and life sciences. Of the mathematicized sciences Aristotle knew only astronomy, optics, harmonics and mechanics, and only in the stage of development they had reached in his day. But his philosophical views about them are still enlightening. His understanding of the world of nature, moreover, went beyond the domain of the qualitative and the quantitative. It gave a further explanation of sensible things in terms of their substantial principles, matter and form. This is a different but in no way rival account of visible things through the philosophy of nature, and it answers its own set of questions about the universe.
