Aristotelian (or neo-Aristotelian) metaphysics is currently
undergoing something of a renaissance. This volume brings together
fourteen essays from leading philosophers who are sympathetic to
this conception of metaphysics, which takes its cue from the idea
that metaphysics is the first philosophy. The primary input from
Aristotle is methodological, but many themes familiar from his
metaphysics will be discussed, including ontological categories,
the role and interpretation of the existential quantifier, essence,
substance, natural kinds, powers, potential, and the development of
life. The volume mounts a strong challenge to the type of
ontological deflationism which has recently gained a strong
foothold in analytic metaphysics. It will be a useful resource for
scholars and advanced students who are interested in the
foundations and development of philosophy.
