Professor Hood examines Aristotle''s various treatments of relation and relational entities with a special focus on Aristotle''s two central texts on relation, Categories 7 and Metaphysics V.15. While the common view is that Aristotle does not have, and indeed could not have, a theory that accounts for dyadic relations, Hood''s analysis reveals Aristotle''s deep commitment to the dyadic nature of relation. She also unearths a feature in Aristotle''s relational theory that appears to account not only for the terms of a dyadic relation, but also for the relation itself. This book presents compelling evidence that Aristotle''s theory of relation is more robust than originally suspected.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e... Hood's book represents a valuable contribution, above all for decisively countering the charge that Aristotle could not recognize dyadic predicates. -- Roderick T.
