Aristotle offers a searing rejection of Plato's commitment to a Form
of the Good; core among his complaints is that goodness is not
univocal, that is, that there is no single essence-specifying account
of goodness covering all the many varieties of goodness there are.

of his readers regard them as wholly successful while many others
maintain they are abject failures. This volume reconstructs and
assesses these arguments afresh and asks a simple question: if they
are sound, what is left for Aristotle? In particular, what principles
does he have to vouchsafe the commensurability of the good things he
himself regards as commensurable?
