Contributors demonstrate that Aristotle relies on both explanatory and expository principles. Explanatory principles include familiar doctrines such as the four causes, actuality?s priority over potentiality and nature?s doing nothing in vain. Expository principles are at least as important. They pertain to proper sequence, pedagogical method, the role of reputable views and the opinions of predecessors, the equivocity of key explanatory terms, and the need to scrupulously observe distinctions between the different sciences. A sensitivity to expository principles is crucial to understanding both particular arguments and entire treatises. 410 0$aPhilosophia antiqua ;$vVolume 146. 676 $a185 702 $aWians$b William Robert 702 $aPolansky$b Ronald M.$f1948- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796043303321 996 $aReading Aristotle$91493360 997 $aUNINA
