Beschreibung

Doing and Being confronts the problem of how to understand two central concepts of Aristotle's philosophy: energeia and dunamis. These terms seem ambiguous between actuality/potentiality and activity/capacity, but Aristotle did not intend this. Beere's careful reading of Metaphysics Theta shows the way to an analogical conception of energeia.
