A Companion to the Latin Medieval Commentaries on Aristotle's Metaphysics

Few philosophical books have been so influential in the development of Western thought as Aristotle’s Metaphysics.
For centuries Aristotle’s most celebrated work has been regarded as a
source of inspiration as well as the starting point for every
investigation into the structure of reality. Not surprisingly, the
topics discussed in the book – the scientific status of ontology and
metaphysics, the foundations of logical truths, the notions of essence
and existence, the nature of material objects and their properties, the
status of mathematical entities, just to mention some – are still at the
centre of the current philosophical debate and are likely to excite
philosophical minds for many years to come. This volume reconstructs in
fourteen chapters a particular phase in the long history of the Metaphysics
by focusing on the medieval reception of Aristotle’s masterpiece,
specifically from its introduction in the Latin West in the twelfth
through fifteenth centuries.
