The author breaks no new ground in his interpretations and, for the most part, comes down on contentious issues with the majority of scholars in the twentieth century. His work is heavily dependent on the volume of essays on the chapters of Book 12 edited by Michael Frede and David Charles in the Symposium Aristotelicum series Oxford, He generally either follows the interpretation of the authors therein or takes their setting up of the problem as the starting-point for his own remarks.

I assume that most people who want to make use of this book will go directly to Bordt's remarks on the central philosophical problems in Book 12, problems that readers of Aristotle have struggled with since Theophrastus. This is just a basic and obvious list; textual and structural issues regarding the details of the particular arguments and the connection between chapter and abound.
On all of these, the author usually has sensible though predictable things to say.

On the five big problems listed above, Bordt adds little to the debate, though he frequently tends toward conclusions widely maintained in the literature. The professed introductory nature of this work might serve to justify this approach if the author had at least offered a separate account of his view of 5 in the light of the traditional understanding of 1 to 4.
In a brief introductory chapter pp. It treats of ousia in general, the focus of the science of being, and it treats of immovable ousia in particular, the explicit target of that science. But Bordt thinks that these two facts do not justify treating Book 12 as the culmination of that project. That is, he does not think that the primary ousia described in Book 12 is the primary ousia sought in Books 6 and 7 and elsewhere. As a result, we get mostly an array of conventional interpretations without any discussion of how these together can or cannot solve the problem lurking in 5. Accordingly, the author ignores the many reasons that have been given for rejecting the conventional interpretations, including making Book 12 an early "Platonic" work of Aristotle, thereby clearing the path for the conversion of metaphysics into ontology.
Briefly, regarding 1 Bordt argues pp. This fact suggests that at least the outermost sphere of the heavens strives to emulate the prime unmoved mover as a goal. But this would seem to require that the outermost sphere is ensouled, something Aristotle never says.
