First sentence: A systematic history of Aristotelianism would be an immense undertaking populated by a great variety of rival Aristotles: Theophrastus's, the Aristotle of the Neoplatonists, a whole range of medieval Aristotles - Farabi's, ibn Rushd's, Maimonides's, Aquinas's - and after them an equally impressive set of Renaissance Aristotles, followed by Coleridge's, Thomas Case's, and the whole variety of twentieth-century Aristotles from Werner Jaeger to Terence Irwin and beyond.
