This book engages with topics in Aristotle?s philosophy of mind, some well-known and hotly debated, some new and yet to be explored.

This collection of essays engages with several topics in Aristotle?s philosophy of mind, some well-known and hotly debated, some new and yet to be explored. The contributors analyze Aristotle?s arguments and present their cases in ways that invite contemporary philosophers of mind to consider the potentials?and pitfalls?of an Aristotelian philosophy of mind.
The volume brings together an international group of renowned Aristotelian scholars as well as rising stars to cover five main themes: method in the philosophy of mind, sense perception, mental representation, intellect, and the metaphysics of mind. The papers collected in this volume, with their choice of topics and quality of exposition, show why Aristotle is a philosopher of mind to be studied and reckoned with in contemporary discussions.
Encounters with Aristotelian Philosophy of Mind will be of interest to scholars and advanced students of ancient philosophy and philosophy of mind.
"The contributions are carefully crafted and lucidly written, while the antithetical positioning of the chapters...adds to the merits of this excellent volume." - Bryn Mawr Classical Review
