Greek Translation Seminar (Aristóteles)

Reading, translation, and commentary on Book V of Aristotle’s Metaphysics [Arist. Metaph. V].

This book is considered Aristotle’s dictionary of philosophical terms. Reading it allows engagement with many of the termini technici of his philosophy. Moreover, studying it enables an understanding of the programmatic framework that arises from the problems posed by Aristotelian ontology.
