This is a 1988 philosophical introduction to Aristotle, and Professor Lear starts where Aristotle himself starts. The first sentence of the Metaphysics states that all human beings by their nature desire to know. But what is it for us to be animated by this desire in this world? What is it for a creature to have a nature; what is our human nature; what must the world be like to be intelligible; and what must we be like to understand it systematically? Through a consideration of these questions Professor Lear introduces us to the essence of Aristotle's philosophy and guides us through the central Aristotelian texts - selected from the Physics, Metaphysics, Ethics, Politics and from the biological and logical works. The book is written in a direct, lucid style which engages the reader with the themes in an active, participatory manner.

這書實在太好 - 從形上學開首的名句起頭解釋所有亞里斯多德哲學的重要面向。其中談邏輯一章基本上是他的另一本作品 Aristotle's Logical Theory 的簡化版，同樣值得推薦。Lear 這幾年不作亞里斯多德轉向心理分析去了，雖然同樣有敏銳度，但照我看不及他早些年這些著作來得好。

尽管作者说本书不能替代对亚氏原著的阅读，但实在没有勇气再读《形而上学》了。非常优秀的导论，读起来还是有点困难的，尤其是第3章Change
