Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This volume brings together 12 essays exploring the history of theories of definition and essence in Western philosophy from Aristotle to Kant. Definition and essence have been central to philosophical theorising since antiquity and remain so to this day. This volume presents a series of explorations of key authors and themes connected by a common set of questions: What are definitions and essences What are the connections between them What are their logical and metaphysical properties What sorts of things have definitions and essences and what sorts of things do not What functions do definitions and essences serve in the physical, mathematical, and human sciences How, if at all, can we come to know them This volume shows that answering these questions allows us to see in a new light key figures and movements in the history of Western thought.
