From very early on, Western philosophers have been obsessed with
the understanding of a relatively few works of philosophy which
have played a disproportionately large and fundamental role in
developing the Western philosophical canon, dominating the
curriculum in the past and in the present; there is no indication
that they will not do so in the future. Uses and Abuses of the
Classics examines the various ways in which the different periods
of the history of philosophy have approached these texts. The
editors have chosen for analysis some of the major philosophers
from periods of the history of philosophy in which the
interpretation of the classics has been particularly significant.
Contributions to this book include entries on: Aristotle's reading
of Plato; Averroes on Aristotle; Nietzsche on the Beginnings of
Western Philosophy; and Thomas Aquinas's Commentary on Aristotle's
Metaphysics.
