This is both a learned, philosophically acute, and readable introduction to late antique Neoplatonism and a persuasive re-reading of Aristotle. Anyone with an interest in Aristotle, Plato, the late Platonists, and their effects on later philosophy, as well as anyone with a less specialized interest in the questions these philosophers discussed, will profit from Lloyd P. Gerson's painstaking study of a properly Platonic Aristotelianism (or Aristotelian Platonism).

"I read Lloyd P. Gerson's book with absorption and with pleasure. It is an impressive, solidly argued work, based on a profound knowledge of the ancient texts. It also considers and interprets a very large number of recent studies. Gerson is well aware that he is making a very bold challenge, but he does so seriously and precisely. The subtlety and insight of his analyses are truly stimulating."

This wide-ranging and deeply learned book casts a challengingly heterodox, and often convincing, light on every major aspect of Aristotle's thought from his metaphysics to his ethics. It deserves to be read by every student not just of Aristotle but of ancient philosophy more generally.
