Words have determinable sense only within a complex of unstated
assumptions, and all interpretation must therefore go beyond the
given material. This book addresses what is man's place in the
Aristotelian world. It also describes man's abilities and prospects
in managing his life, and considers how far Aristotle's treatment
of time and history licenses the sort of dynamic interpretation of
his doctrines that have been given. The ontological model that
explains much of Aristotle's conclusions and methods is one of
life-worlds, in which the material universe of scientific myth is
no more than an abstraction from lived reality, not its
transcendent ground.
