[The Middle Included] is remarkable in its scope and depth. It pays heed to logos as a general term that crosses traditional divides in Aristotle's thought, but does so without caricaturing the term's employment in more specific contexts. It holds together both a single overarching discussion of logos as a general term of Aristotle's and many specific discussions of logos in its more determinate employments throughout Aristotle's works, without ever collapsing these discussions into each other or eclipsing one by another. Ayg n's book thus artfully exemplifies the very logos that is its overarching subject. In so doing, it serves as an important impetus for further study into logos and other key terms that cross traditional boundaries in Aristotle's works.
Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews The scope of this study is extremely impressive, ranging over the theoretical and practical sides of Aristotle's thought while also moving into often under-explored areas of the corpus, such as the writings on language. Ayg n's treatments of the texts are always fresh and surprising, but also convincing, carefully argued, and textually grounded. This book will interest philosophers generally, especially those sympathetic to the continental/phenomenological tradition within which Ayg n works.
