Review
"Dr. Annas's translation is clear, readable, and accurate....An enjoyable volume, stimulating both as intellectual history and as philosophical argument."--
Times Literary SupplementSynopsis
M and N, the last two books of the Metaphysics, are Aristotle's only sustained venture into the philosophy of mathematics. This volume includes the complete text of M and N along with 170 pages of commentary that provide a clear introduction for students. Focusing on the books' continuing philosophical interest, Annas presents an invaluable guide to this unjustly neglected part of Aristotle's thought.
