This book has been written from the conviction that general
statements about the philosophical position taken by Theophrastus
in this small but extremely difficult treatise, can only be made on
the basis of a detailed interpretation of each and every sentence
of the text. This resulted in a full commentary, which evades no
philological or philosophical question that should be asked in
order to elicit from the text a maximum of information. The outcome
is a cautious but nonetheless explicit and determinate
characterization and evaluation of Theophrastean metaphysics as a
biologist's metaphysics, which deserves the attention of
philosophers in its own right.
The author has paid special attention to questions of Peripatetic
idiom and terminology, thus increasing the value of this book to
students of Peripatetic thought in general. The information brought
together has been made easily accessible by full indexes.
