Acknowledgments
G. E. L. Owen first introduced me to the intricacies of Metaphysics Zeta. I am grateful to him for that and for his encouragement to pursue my early interest in ancient philosophy. Work on this book has taken place over a number of years. Earlier drafts of parts of it were presented at a National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Summer Institute on Aristotle’s Metaphysics, Biology and Ethics at the University of New Hampshire, a Metaphysical Society of America Conference on Aristotle’s Metaphysics, an annual meeting of the Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy, a Meeting of the Minnesota Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy, to philosophy departments at East Carolina University and the University of California, Davis, to upper division and graduate courses at the University of Minnesota, and at a meeting of a graduate seminar on Aristotle’s Metaphysics at the University of Washington.

At various times, research on the topic of this book was supported by research grants and a sabbatical leave fellowship from the University of Minnesota, and by a John Dolan Memorial Research Grant, all of which I thankfully acknowledge.
