Summary

Edward Halper’s three volume One and Many in Aristotle’s 'Metaphysics' contends that Aristotle argues for his central metaphysical doctrines by showing that they alone resolve various versions of what is known as “the problem of the one and the many.” Alpha-Delta argues that these books constitute the first stage of Aristotle’s inquiry, his case for the existence of metaphysics.

One and Many in Aristotle's Metaphysics: Books Alpha to Delta by Edward C Halper

Arguing that Aristotle poses and pursues the problem of the existence of metaphysics as a version of the problem of the one and the many, the author locates Metaphysics firmly in the tradition of Pre-socratic and Platonic metaphysical speculation.
This book deserves to become a kind of reference point interpretation for contemporary Scholarship precisely because it is a comprehensive reading that reasserts the integrity of Aristotle's MetaphysicsHalper attends meticulously but not tediously to Aristotle's text, and he defends a plausible reading that remains philosophically rich while preserving Aristotle from confusion and contradiction"". - Review of Metaphysics
