As part of the European Science Foundation's program From Natural Philosophy to Science 1200-1700, a workshop was held in Leiden, the Netherlands during June 2004, and the 10 essays here are
substantially expanded and updated from selected presentations there. They cover concept formation in Posterior Analytics II; metaphysics as a science; and demonstration, definition, and
causation. Among the topics are Proclus' criticism of Aristotle's theory of abstraction and concept formation in Analytica Posteriora II, Alexander of Aphrodisias on the science of ontology,
whether there is tension between Aristotle's scientific theory and practice, and Aristotle on causation and conditional necessity. Annotation 穢2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
