Description: "Frans de Haas and Jaap Mansfeld bring together in this volume a distinguished international team of ancient philosophers, presenting a systematic, chapter by chapter study of one of the key texts in Aristotle's science and metaphysics: the first book of On Generation and Corruption." "The contributors deal with questions of structure and text constitution and provide thought-provoking discussions of each chapter of GCI. New approaches to the issues of how to understand first matter, and how to evaluate Aristotle's notion of mixture are given ample space. Throughout, Aristotle's views of the theories of the Presocratics and Plato are shown to be crucial in understanding his argument."--BOOK JACKET.
