Aristotle on God's Life-Generating Power and on Pneuma as Its Vehicle

Review “[Bos’s] knowledge of the Aristotelian corpus is impressive … the book deserves to be taken seriously as a valuable contribution to Aristotelian scholarship.” ― Philosophia Reformata“Bos offers a fresh, interesting, and important perspective. His interpretation will be very controversial, but if he is right, the standard Anglo-American interpretation of Aristotle will have to change radically.” ― Malcolm Wilson, author of Structure and Method in Aristotle’s Meteorologica: A More Disorderly Nature Product Description Proposes an innovative rethinking of Aristotle’s work as a system that integrates his theology with his doctrine of reproduction and life.
