Books by Terence (Professor of Philosophy Irwin

This is a clear and lucid examination of the major philosophers and schools in the 1,100 years or so from Homer to Saint Augustine.

Explores Aristotle's philosophical method and the merits of his conclusions, and shows how he defends dialectic against the objection that it cannot justify a metaphysical realist's claims. The author does not presuppose previous acquaintance with Aristotle.
