Cambridge University Press Augustine On the Free Choice of the Will On Grace and Free Choice and Other Writings Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy
Book SynopsisThe works translated here deal with two major themes in the thinking of St Augustine (354â430): free will and divine grace. On the one hand, free will enables human beings to make their own choices; on the other hand, God's grace is required for these choices to be efficacious. 'On the Free Choice of the Will', 'On Grace and Free Choice', 'On Reprimand and Grace' and 'On the Gift of Perseverance' set out Augustine's theory of human responsibility, and sketch a subtle reconciliation of will and grace. This volume is the first to bring together Augustine's early and later writings on these two themes, in a new translation by Peter King, enabling the reader to see what Augustine regarded as the crowning achievement of his work. The volume also includes a clear and accessible introduction that analyzes Augustine's key philosophical lines of thought.Table of ContentsIntroduction; Chronology; Further reading; Note on the texts; List of abbreviations; On the Free Choice of the Will; Reconsiderations, 1.9; Confessions, 8.8.19-8.10.24; Confessions, 7.3.5; On Grace and Free Choice; On Reprimand and Grace; On the Gift of Perseverance, 8.16-13.33; Index of works cited; Index of names and subjects.

Cambridge University Press Aristotle and the Science of Nature
Book SynopsisAristotle's philosophy of nature is examined in the light of the argument that he regarded the natural world, and its study, as having a clear structure. Professor Falcon argues that Aristotle, though systematic, recognized the limitations of natural science and claimed that the natural world exhibits unity without uniformity.Trade Review'… [a] tightly argued monograph on Aristotle's Meteorology … Falcon's excellent study has relevance to both Aristotle scholarship and contemporary concerns.' British Journal of the History of Science'The book is tightly argued and situates Aristotle's arguments in the historical tradition of commentary upon his work in a clear and highly sophisticated fashion. … It should be of great interest to advanced undergraduates and others who are interested in a highly engaging and important account of Aristotle's understanding of the science of nature. … F. has offered up an extremely compelling set of tightly linked arguments showing that Aristotle's position on the discontinuity between the sublunary and celestial worlds has wide ranging implications for the integration of sciences such as biology and meteorology and for how Aristotle understands the "system " of nature as a whole. …This book will be of interest to those wishing to gain a greater understanding of how Aristotle's philosophy of science is situated historically - as I have stated the historical context provided with respect to doxographers and ancient commentators is outstanding … the footnotes are extensive and filled with references to a good deal of recent work related to Aristotle's conception of science.

Cambridge University Press Homer Parmenides and the Road to Demonstration
Book SynopsisIt is widely agreed that Parmenides invented extended deductive argumentation and the practice of demonstration, a transformative event in the history of thought. But how did he manage this seminal accomplishment? In this book, Benjamin Folit-Weinberg finally provides an answer. At the heart of this story is the image of the hodos, the road and the journey. Brilliantly deploying the tools and insights of literary criticism, conceptual history, and archaeology, Folit-Weinberg illuminates how Parmenides adopts and adapts this image from Homer, especially the Odyssey, forging from it his pioneering intellectual approaches. Reinserting Parmenides into the physical world and poetic culture of archaic Greece, Folit-Weinberg reveals both how deeply traditional and how radical was Parmenides'' new way of thinking and speaking. By taking this first step toward providing a history of the concept method, this volume uncovers the genealogy of philosophy in poetry and poetic imagery.Table of ContentsPart I. Prooimia: 1. Roads: Words and Things; Parmenides the late archaic poet; Part II. Routes: 3. The hodos of Odysseus; 4. The hodos in Odyssey XII; 5. Krisis: Fragment 2; 6. Con(-)sequence: Fragment 8; Part III. Doxai: 7. Mortal Opinions.
