Confronting the scientific revolutions dismissal of Aristotles physics and epistemology, Nathan R. Colaner revives this foundational philosophers work to expose within it the underpinnings of modern philosophers most common intuitions about knowledge. After Aristotles picture of reality had been judged obsolete by the physics of the scientific revolution, modern Western epistemologists fumbled along with doctrines that had little to do with everyday life. These included Descartes notion of the evil genius, Humes claim that we cant know anything that we are not presently observing, and Kants rescue of knowledge in the context of idealism. In Aristotle on Knowledge of Nature and Modern Skepticism, Colaner articulates a notion of knowledge that is characteristically Aristotelian without being dependent on his metaphysics. Simultaneously, Colaner places Aristotle in dialogue with modern thinkers to create a bridge between classical and modern philosophy and reinstate Aristotles prominence in the discipline of epistemology.
