Jacob Aristotle

    Aristotle stands as one of history's most profound philosophical minds, whose extensive writings have shaped intellectual discourse for millennia. His work traversed an astonishing breadth of subjects, from the abstract realms of logic and metaphysics to the practicalities of ethics, politics, and aesthetics. A keen observer and meticulous researcher, his empirical approach, particularly in biology, laid foundational groundwork for scientific inquiry. Aristotle's thought, though complex and subject to ongoing interpretation, continues to stimulate debate and scholarly interest, attesting to its enduring significance.

      This work presents the Nicomachean Ethics in a fresh English translation by Christopher Rowe that strives to be meticulously accurate yet also accessible. The translation is accompanied by Sarah Broadie's detailed line-by-line commentary, which brings out the subtlety of Aristotle's thought asit develops from moment to moment. In addition, a substantial introductory section features a thorough examination of the text's main themes and interpretative problems and also provides preambles to each of the ten books of the Nicomachean Ethics. An indispensable resource for students approachingthe Nicomachean Ethics for the first time, this detailed treatment is ideal for courses in classical or ancient philosophy, the philosophy of Aristotle, and ethics.

      Nicomachean Ethics
    • Nearly all the works Aristotle (384 322 BCE) prepared for publication are lost; the priceless ones extant are lecture-materials, notes, and memoranda (some are spurious). They can be categorized as practical; logical; physical; metaphysical; on art; other; fragments.

      Posterior Analytics
    • Presents the author's mature rejection of both the Platonic theory that what we perceive is just a pale reflection of reality and the hard-headed view that all processes are the material. In this book, the author argued instead that the reality or substance of things lies in their concrete forms.
