Neo-Aristotelian Perspectives on Contemporary Science by William Mr Simpson
Despite these recent trends, few Aristotelian metaphysicians have engaged directly with the philosophy of the specialised sciences. This book aims to fill this gap in the literature by bringing together essays on the relationship between Aristotelianism and science that cut across interdisciplinary boundaries.-

"The level of scholarship throughout is of the highest caliber. . Those committed to an Aristotelian view of the world need not set themselves at odds with modern science. On the contrary, a compelling case can be made—as the contributors to this anthology convincingly show—that an Aristotelian perspective on modern science is needed now more than ever. Summing Up: Highly recommended." – CHOICE
