books by Aristotle     books:       The Basic Works of Aristotle (Modern Library Classics)11 reviews Aristotle Modern Library, 2001 Good collection of Aristotle After Plato, Aristotle is by far the greatest Athenian Greek Philosopher. A polymathic genius whose interests ranged from poetry to theology to astronomy, physics and biology, Aristotle systematized Western thought and laid down many of the basic rules for argument and rationality which still stick with us today. This collection includes Aristotle's major works including logic, metaphysics, ...             101 Dressage Exercises for Horse & Rider26 reviews Jec Aristotle Ballou Storey Publishing, LLC, 2005 The Best So Far Brilliant diagrams, excellent keys, simply mapped out and laid out information for difficult and also the easiest of dressage manoevres.

It has handy hints how to achieve positions and gives you ...             Rhetoric4 reviews Aristotle FQ Publishing, 2008 A Classic! A classic in ancient Greek thought. Aristotle introduced the qualification of 'necessary' and 'possible' premises. And his book on Rhetoric deals on this teaching as well as many others. Shows where he differs from classic Platonian thought and where he agrees. An important work, as all of his works most undoubtedly are as they influenced the Western world for over a thousand years.             Aristotle's Ethics (SparkNotes Literature Guide) (SparkNotes Literature Guide)40 reviews Aristotle, SparkNotes Editors SparkNotes, 2003 Translations differ It would be helpful if Amazon didn't pool together reviews from different translations. Note to Amazon: the customer reviews can be very helpful and have motivated me to purchase many books. But reviews for widely translated books should be specific to the translation. Otherwise they become worthless.             Complete Works of Aristotle, Vol. 110 reviews Aristotle Princeton University Press, 1971 a bit of irony is that, although these volumes contain the absolute worst translations of aristotle available, they're probably the best bet for people who are serious about aristotle and the worst bet for people who are just reading this or that text for a class, personal interest, etc. the reason they're good for people who are serious about aristotle is the very simple reason that it's all there, so if ...             Poetics (Penguin Classics)10 reviews Aristotle Penguin Classics, 1997 Tragedy Teaches Us Something About Life I read these works for a graduate seminar on Aristotle. Poetry appeals to human passions and emotions. Powerful beautiful language and metaphor really appeal to emotion. This idea really disturbed Plato, who takes on Homer in the Republic. Plato thought that early Greek poetry portrays a dark world; humans are checked by negative limits like death. Tragedy has in it a character of high ...             Politics24 reviews Aristotle BiblioBazaar, 2008 If You Don't Want To Live In A State, You Are Either A God Or A Beast I read this book for a graduate seminar on Aristotle. Politics is one of Aristotle's most prescient works that had a profound impact on our Founding fathers. Nicomachean Ethics (EN) is part of political knowledge. Politics regulates when virtue does not. Laws are created for people who are not virtuous. Polis= "city or state." Humans live in society, so virtue ethics is not just for ...             The Nicomachean Ethics (Penguin Classics)10 reviews Aristotle Penguin Classics, 2004 Virtue Ethics Classic I read these works for a graduate seminar on Aristotle. I think Aristotle's ethics is his most seminal work in philosophy. In early 1960's virtue ethics came to fore. It is a retrieval of Aristotle. It has very close parallels to the ancient Chinese philosophy of Confucius and the modern philosophy espoused in the 1970's called Communitarianism. For Aristotle Nicomachean Ethics, (EN) is ...             On Rhetoric: A Theory of Civic Discourse5 reviews Aristotle Oxford University Press, USA, 2006 The most scholarly & readable translation of the "Rhetorica" Aristotle's treatise "On Rhetoric" has been the seminal work in the field since it was written. There is a very real sense in which there is nothing new under the sun since Aristotle's day, and that the rhetorical constructs of Burke, Toulmin and every other rhetorical theorist are simply Aristotle's concepts dressed up in new terms. Certainly no one has been as comprehensive in cataloguing all ...             Complete Works of Aristotle, Volume 22 reviews Aristotle Princeton University Press, 1984 The Complete Works of Aristotle Volume 2 The Complete Works of Aristotle Volume 2 edited bu Jonathan Barnes is a continuation of the revised Oxford translation. Aristotle is one of the greatest thinkers in the Western tradition, but also one of the most difficult. As with the first volume, this translation makes the surviving works of Aristotle easily read for the English-speaking readers. This volume combined with the first makes a ...             Aristotle: The Politics and the Constitution of Athens (Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought)2 reviews Aristotle Cambridge University Press, 1996 If You Don't Want To Live In A State, You Are Either A God Or A Beast I read this book for a graduate seminar on Aristotle.

They are expert scholars who have for decades been at the forefront of Aristotle research. Besides 100% technical accuracy they helpfully subscript (i) Aristotle's keyterms which can't be uniformly translated and (ii) those keyterms which have only one English equivalent ('form', 'being', 'knowledge', etc). However, I warn customers NOT ...             Aristotle: Art of Rhetoric, Volume XXII (Loeb Classical Library No. 193)9 reviews Aristotle Loeb Classical Library, 2006 Greatness How could you not give this book five stars? Aristotle's Rhetoric contains the greatness of an all-time classic and I shall praise the book following Aristotle's instructions on how to praise something (1. 9). The Rhetoric is either the first or among the first books that teaches a speaker how to address an audience. It comes from the time of great scholarly activity in Ancient Greece and ...             Aristotle: Nicomachean Ethics (Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy)3 reviews Aristotle Cambridge University Press, 2000 Doing the right thing Aristotle was a philosopher in search of the chief good for human beings. This chief good is eudaimonia, which is often translated as 'happiness' (but can also be translated as 'thriving' or 'flourishing'). Aristotle sees pleasure, honour and virtue as significant 'wants' for people, and then argues that virtue is the most important of these. In the Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle makes the ...             Aristotle: Selections Aristotle Hackett Publishing Company, 1995             Nicomachean Ethics1 review Aristotle Digireads.com, 2005 We Reach Our Complete Perfection Through Habit I read this book for a graduate seminar on Aristotle.

Norton & Company, 1983 Poignant Insights The ancient observer's insights have stood the test of time. Some elements of human nature remain consistent regardless of the century or technology. Aristotle thought classification was important. In this work he sets forth a taxonomy for poetics. One of the more controversial statements he makes in this book is "poetry is both more philosophical and more serious than history." He doesn't leave ...             Poetics6 reviews Aristotle Kessinger Publishing, 2004 A Classical masterpiece! Aristotle's Poetics is hailed as the first systematic critical theory in the world. For centuries and centuries, it has inspired writers, critics, and philosophers alike. Aristotle, the father of critics, as many would exalt him, sets the rules for many key literary genres such as Tragedy, Comedy, and Epic. Through comparing and contrasting these classical genres, Aristotle convincingly argues ...             Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics (Philosophical Library Series)8 reviews Aristotle Focus Publishing/R. Pullins Company, 2002 Exceptional translation, excellent introduction I've read and taught the Nicomachean Ethics several times in translation, and working through it this time with Joe Sachs' exceptional translation is what for the first time brought the urgency and interest of the text alive for me. I'd always said, in response to student complaints, something like: I know that the book itself, in style, is kind of boring and dry, but the subject matter could ...             The Rhetoric and the Poetics of Aristotle (Modern Library College Editions)2 reviews Aristotle McGraw-Hill Companies, 1984 The Capacity of Persuasion I read these works for a graduate seminar on Aristotle. Definition of Rhetoric- capacity of persuasion. Plato is critical of the Rhetoric and the tragic poetry. Rhetoric is approach to political public speeches in the forum. Plato thought that they clouded the mind and thus created a part of his critique of democracy in general.
