I've only read Ch. 8 - "Saving Aristotle's appearances,"but the book is worth checking out for that chapter alone. She does an excellent job of describing and justifying Aristotle's "ordinary language" method of philosophizing and distinguishing him from Wittgenstein.

30915 Really? Damn. I really need to pick up a copy of this. I passed over one at the Strand in NY a few months ago and I've been kicking myself ever since.
