In this lively and original book, Russell Winslow pursues a new
interpretation of logos in Aristotle. Rather than a reading of
rationality that cleaves human beings from nature, this new
interpretation suggests that, for Aristotle, consistent and
dependable rational arguments reveal a deep dependency upon nature.
To this end, the author shows that a rational account of a being is
in fact subject to the very same principle that governs the
physical motion and generation of a being under inquiry. Among the
many consequences of this argument is a rejection of both of the
prevailing oppositional claims that Aristotle's methodological
procedure of discovery is one resting on either empirical or
conceptual grounds: discovery reveals a more complex structure than
can be grasped by either of these modern modes. Further, Winslow
argues that this interpretation of rational discovery also
contributes to the ethical debates surrounding Aristotle's work,
insofar as an ethical claim is achieved through reason, but is not
thereby conceived as objective. Again, the demand for agreement in
ethical/political decision will be disclosed as superseding in its
complexity both those accounts of ethical decision as subjective
(for example, "emotivist" accounts) and those as objective
("realist" accounts).
