Reading Aristotle argues that Aristotle's treatises must be approached as progressive
unfoldings of a unified position that may extend over a single book, an entire treatise,
or across several works. Contributors demonstrate that Aristotle relies on both explanatory
and expository principles. Explanatory principles include familiar doctrines such
as the four causes, actuality's priority over potentiality, and nature's doing nothing
in vain. Expository principles are at least as important. They pertain to proper sequence,
pedagogical method, the role of reputable views and the opinions of predecessors,
the equivocity of key explanatory terms, and the need scrupulously to observe distinctions
between the different sciences. A sensitivity to expository principles is crucial
to understanding both particular arguments and entire treatises
