    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    Aristotles' 'Metaphysics' is one of the most important texts in Ancient Philosophy. This GuideBook looks at the Metaphysics thematically and takes the student through the main arguments found in the text. The book introduces and assesses Aristotle's life and the background to the Metaphysics, the ideas and text of the Metaphysics and Aristotle's philosophical legacy.

    "Politis writes exceedingly clearly, formulates exactly, draws parallel with other relevant passages from Aristotle's work...as well as with contemporary authors like Quine or Putnam. Moreover, this introduction is a very pleasant read, not only for students but also for lecturers."


    Rico Sneller, Tijdschrift voor Filosofie (Journal of Philosohy, Holland)
