Although Aristotle left \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esignificant material on almost all branches of learning, what has \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esurvived is a somewhat disorganized collection of notes and lectures. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMoreover, the centuries of interpretation across various epochs and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecultures tend to cloud our understanding of him. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThomas Kiefer breaks through this cloud of interpretation and provides \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ean organized account of one key part of Aristotle's philosophy, namely \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehis theory of knowledge. This theory concerns what is knowledge, what we \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecan know, and how we can do so. Kiefer's book is the first work that \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003etakes this theory as its sole focus and reconstructs it systematically. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKiefer's work throughout provides many new \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003einterpretations of key parts of Aristotle's philosophy, including an unnoticed -but crucial- distinction between knowledge in general and knowledge for us, the differences between his semantic and psychological requirements for knowledge, and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e'nous', which is perhaps the most obscure notion in Aristotle's work. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHe also concludes with a summary of Aristotle's theory in the terms and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003estyle of contemporary epistemology.
