This book explores Aristotle's philosophical method and the merits of his conclusions, showing how he defends dialectic against the objection that it cannot justify a metaphysical realist's claims. The author claims that a proper understanding of Aristotle's method requires emphasis on the systematic character of his philosophy and thus examines questions in several different areas of Aristotle's philosophy - especially metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of mind and ethics - and stresses the connections between doctrines and issues that are often discussed separately. Professor Irwin does not presuppose extensive previous acquaintance with Aristotle. Greek texts are translated and Greek words transliterated.
