Focusing primarily on Aristotle's Physics Alpha, an attempt is made
to establish the structure and significance of the Aristotelian
analogy. Traditionally, the concept of analogy in Aristotle has
been treated along two lines of interpretation. In this book, these
are referred to as the mathematical interpretation and the
correlative interpretation. The mathematical approach claims that
the Aristotelian analogy only accounts for proportional comparisons
between usually four things. On the other hand, the correlative
interpretation describes the Aristotelian analogy as something that
unites the multiple uses of a single term (the many uses of
"healthy," for example). This book will argue that both of these
interpretations overlook the nature of the Aristotelian analogy.
The structure of analogy can be taken from Aristotle's discussion
of the three principles of natural "becoming" in his Physics Alpha.
In Physics Alpha, Aristotle claims that these three principles are:
1) the being in its addressable form (logos); 2) the course of
becoming of that addressable being (steresis); 3) the substance
that remains the same throughout the change (hypokeimenon).
Although the first principle, logos, accounts for addressability,
the other two do not. The second and third principles are
inseparable from logos but always remain hidden from addressability
(ana-logos). This book will argue that these principles reveal a
structure of analogy that discloses an inherent mobility of logos
which enables it to reflect the intuitive and ever-changing
principles of becoming. As such, the relationship between Logos and
intuition (nous) can be reimagined.
