Confronting the scientific revolution's dismissal of Aristotle's
physics and epistemology, Nathan R. Colaner revives this
foundational philosopher's work to expose within it the
underpinnings of modern philosophers' most common intuitions about
knowledge. After Aristotle's picture of reality had been judged
obsolete by the physics of the scientific revolution, modern
Western epistemologists fumbled along with doctrines that had
little to do with everyday life. These included Descartes' notion
of the evil genius, Hume's claim that we can't know anything that
we are not presently observing, and Kant's rescue of knowledge in
the context of idealism. In Aristotle on Knowledge of Nature and
Modern Skepticism, Colaner articulates a notion of knowledge that
is characteristically Aristotelian without being dependent on his
metaphysics. Simultaneously, Colaner places Aristotle in dialogue
with modern thinkers to create a bridge between classical and
modern philosophy and reinstate Aristotle's prominence in the
discipline of epistemology.
