The Aristotelian Periphery explores the enduring influence of Aristotle's philosophy through the lens of his unresolved questions—what the author terms "peripheries." While Aristotle laid the foundational stones for much of Western thought in ethics, metaphysics, logic, and natural philosophy, he also left critical spaces where his ideas remain open to interpretation, challenge, and transformation. This book examines these gaps, not as limitations, but as dynamic opportunities for philosophical growth and innovation.

Across its chapters, the book traces the evolution of philosophical thought by engaging with the tensions and ambiguities in Aristotle's system, showing how they have inspired thinkers from Augustine and Aquinas to Nietzsche and Derrida. It delves into various philosophical domains—such as existentialism, environmental ethics, metaphysics, and the philosophy of identity—to reveal how these peripheries have catalyzed new schools of thought and continue to provoke inquiry today.
