Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Aristotle on His Predecessors: Being the First Book of His Metaphysics
The brief notes which I have appended to the transla lation do not in, the least aim at providing anything like an editorial commentary. In general, their object is merely to supply either exact information as to the Greek terms represented by certain words in the translation, or to give references which appear indispensable to the comprehen sion Of the author's meaning. Here and there in the pages which deal with the Platonic theory Of Ideas I have, in deed, allowed myself to transgress these self-imposed limi tations, and can only plead in excuse the abstract charac ter Of the topics treated of and the unfamiliar form Of their presentation.
