Description

18 essays breathe new life into the classic problems of ancient metaphysics using contemporary continental materialisms and realisms In this volume, leading philosophers address the varied, volatile and novel encounters between contemporary and antique thought. They reconceive and redeploy the problems of ancient metaphysics: one and the many, the potential and the actual, the material and immaterial, the divine and the world itself.
