Shields presents a study of a feature of Aristotle's philosophical and scientific investigations: his concern with the homonymy of certain concepts: how a single concept stands for a multiplicity of kinds of thing. He examines how Aristotle seeks order within this multiplicity and demonstrates the continuing fruitfulness of his methodology.
