Gamma Paradoxes
An Analysis of the Fourth Book of Aristotle’s Metaphysics
«Jeremy Kirby’s The Gamma Paradoxes is an illuminating treatment of Aristotle’s thinking on one of the toughest problems in philosophy, the nature of being or existence. Again and again, I was struck by how relevant is the discussion to contemporary questions in philosophy, from science to religion. This is a book that merits and rewards careful study.»
Michael Ruse, Lucyle T. Werkmeister Professor of Philosophy, Florida State University

«The Gamma Paradoxes is an exemplar of philosophical exegesis for historical, analytic philosophy. Jeremy Kirby guides us on a taught, philosophical journey through Aristotle’s metaphysics and logic with a historian’s thoroughness and a logician’s clarity. Kirby’s analysis will pay philosophical dividends for every student of philosophy since it deals with foundational issues, but has the added virtue of addressing modern problems like the liar paradox. Repeat readings warranted.»
