The Oxford Translation of Aristotle was originally published in 12 volumes between 1912 & 1954. It is universally recognized as the standard English version of Aristotle. This revised edition contains the substance of the original Translation, slightly emended in light of recent scholarship; three of the original versions have been replaced by new translations; and a new and enlarged selection of Fragments has been added. The aim of the translation remains the same: to make the surviving works of Aristotle readily accessible to English speaking readers.

Set against a backdrop of enchantment and conflict, the story weaves together themes of mischief and romance as characters navigate the complexities of love amid a war-torn landscape. With elements of magic enhancing the narrative, the protagonists face challenges that test their bonds and reveal their true selves.

The influence of Aristotle, the prince of philosophers, on the intellectual history of the West is second to none.

Written by experts for the newcomer, they demonstrate the finest contemporary thinking about the central problems and issues in hundreds of key topics, from philosophy to Freud, quantum theory to Islam.

In an earlier century, Queen Victoria made a Faustian bargain, signing London and all its souls away to a nefarious, inhuman entity. Now, generations later, the bill has finally come due. . . . An amiable, unambitious London file clerk, Henry Lamb leads an unremarkable life—until the day he learns he's expected to assume the covert responsibilities of his universally despised, now comatose grandfather. London is at war, and a shadowy organization known (to a very few) as the Directorate wishes to recruit Henry to the cause. All he has to do is find "the girl," save the world from the monster Leviathan, and defeat the unspeakable evil lurking in the cellar of 10 Downing Street: the serial-slaying schoolboy twins known as the Domino Men.

Once the toast of good society in Victoria's England, the extraordinary conjurer Edward Moon no longer commands the respect that he did in earlier times. Still, each night he returns to the stage of hi theater to amaze his devoted, albeit dwindling, audience, aided by his partner, the Somnambulist - a silent, hairless, hulking giant who, when stabbed, does not bleed. But these are strange, strange times in England, with the oddest of sorts prowling London's dank underbelly. And the very bizarre death of a disreputable action has compelled a baffled police constabulary to turn once again to Edward Moon for help - inevitably setting in motion events that will shatter his increasingly tenuous grasp on reality.

Jonathan Barnes, international renommierter Aristoteles-Kenner, entlockt Aristoteles bei einem Kaffee Interessantes aus seinem Leben.

Edward Moon, Bühnenzauberer in einem heruntergekommenen Theater im Londoner East End, hat seine besten Tage hinter sich. Doch er hat eine erfüllende Nebenbeschäftigung gefunden: das Lösen von Kriminalfällen. Scotland Yard selbst bittet ihn und seinen Gehilfen, einen schlafwandelnden Giganten, um Unterstützung in einer schaurigen Mordserie. In der dunklen, geheimnisvollen Welt unter dem viktorianischen London treffen die beiden auf Hellseher, größenwahnsinnige Geheimbündler und eine Verschwörung epischen Ausmaßes. • In einem viktorianischen Zeitalter, einer Welt der Kirchenmänner und Könige, Ränkespiele und Intrigen: Nach dem Tod Agornins gerät die Familie in einen Erbschaftsstreit. Daverak, der mächtigste Magnat der Stadt, hat unrechtmäßig das Vermögen des Verstorbenen an sich gerissen und den Leichnam Agornins verspeist. Dessen Sohn Avan zieht Daverak vor Gericht und beschwört damit ein feuriges Duell herauf, das ihn und seine Familie in Lebensgefahr bringt – denn sie alle sind Drachen, bewehrt mit roten Fängen und Klauen …

„Krótki kurs filozofii” to błyskotliwe wprowadzenia w prace kluczowych filozofów i najważniejsze idee filozofii. Autorami poszczególnych tomów serii, wydanej w oryginale przez Oxford University Press, są wybitni specjaliści prezentowanych obszarów. Arystoteles był uczniem Platona i jednym z najbardziej znaczących filozofów w dziejach. Jonathan Barnes przekonuje, że jego wpływu na intelektualną historię Zachodu nie sposób przecenić. Przez stulecia poglądy Arystotelesa traktowano (bardzo często niesłusznie) jak niekwestionowaną prawdę, przez co wywarły one wielki wpływ na filozofów, naukowców, teologów, pisarzy i artystów. Autor omawia badania Arystotelesa z zakresu nauk przyrodniczych, jego odkrycia w logice, teorie metafizyczne, oraz prace z zakresu psychologii, etyki i polityki. Wiele uwagi poświęca też poglądom Arystotelesa na sztukę i poezję, a także historycznemu kontekstowi, w którym rozwijała się jego filozofia.
