This book is an indispensable resource for understanding both Aristotle and American
naturalism as developed by Justus Buchler. Victorino Tejera and his editor have given us
a much-needed and illuminating commentary on Aristotles Metaphysics that frees it from
overly transcendental and theological interpretations by drawing on Buchlers radically
pluralistic concepts of natural complexes and ontological parity.
