Exploring Aristotle's philosophical method and the merits of his conclusions, Irwin here shows how Aristotle defends dialectic against the objection that it cannot justify a metaphysical realist's claims. He focuses particularly on Aristotle's metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of mind, and ethics, stressing the connections between doctrines that are often discussed separately.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Remarkable....Irwin's comprehensive and masterful treatment of his main theme leads to an exploration of many of the central tenets of Aristotle's metaphysics and moral thought. This is a scholarly and philosophical work of the first magnitude."--Philosophical Review
"Irwin brilliantly realizes the ambitions he sets for the book, with the result that Aristotle's First Principles is easily the best available on many of the subjects it treats....It is the best comprehensive treatment of Aristotle's philosophy available."--Classical World
"A very good book. It has much that is original. It is comprehensive....This is a really important book, and a provocative one; it must be pondered by all who deal seriously with Aristotle."--Ancient Philosophy
"Undoubtedly a major work--scholarly, learned, detailed....Something for Aristotelians to discuss for a long time."--Times Higher Education Supplement
