Review of Metaphysics 46 (3):624-625 (1993)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

In this ambitious and challenging book, Frank Lewis aims to make clear the relation between the early metaphysical theory of Aristotle's Categories and the later theory of the central books of Aristotle's Metaphysics; to show, with each theory, how Aristotle positions himself in relation to Plato's theory of Forms; and to locate Aristotle's treatment of purely accidental entities within a more general Aristotelian theory of compounds.
