In this work, the author follows Aristotle in focusing on the scientific detail first and then approaches the metaphysical claims, and so creates a reconstructed theory that explains many puzzles of Aristotle?s thought. Understanding the details of his theory of relations and abstraction further illuminates his theory of universals. ?   Some of the features of Aristotle?s theory of abstraction developed in this book include: abstraction is a relation; perception and knowledge are types of abstraction; the objects generated by abstractions are relata which can serve as subjects in their own right, whereupon they can appear as items in other categories. The author goes on to look at how Aristotle distinguishes the concrete from the abstract paronym, how induction is a type of abstraction which typically moves from the perceived individuals to universals, and how Aristotle?s metaphysical vocabulary is "relational.?   Beyond those features, this work also looks at how of universals, accidents, forms, causes, and potentialities have being only as abstract aspects of individual substances. An individual substance is identical to its essence; the essence has universal features but is the singularity making the individual substance what it is. These theories are expounded within this book. One main attraction in working out the details of Aristotle?s views on abstraction lies in understanding his metaphysics of universals as abstract objects.?   This work reclaims past ground as the main philosophical tradition of abstraction has been ignored in recent times. It gives a modern version of the medieval doctrine of the threefold distinction of essence, made famous by the Islamic philosopher, Avicenna. 410 0$aThe New Synthese Historical Library, Texts and Studies in the History of Philosophy,$x1879-8578 ;$v73 606 $aLogic 606 $aPhilosophy, Ancient 606 $aMetaphysics 606 $aLogic$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E16000 606 $aClassical Philosophy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E12000 606 $aMetaphysics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E18000 615 0$aLogic. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Ancient. 615 0$aMetaphysics. 615 14$aLogic. 615 24$aClassical Philosophy. 615 24$aMetaphysics. 676 $a185 700 $aBäck$b Allan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0540890 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484941103321 996 $aAristotle's Theory of Abstraction$92850930 997 $aUNINA
