Penguin Books Ltd The Athenian Constitution The Penguin classics
Book SynopsisProbably written by a student of Aristotle, The Athenian Constitution is both a history and an analysis of Athens' political machinery between the seventh and fourth centuries BC, which stands as a model of democracy at a time when city-states lived under differing kinds of government. The writer recounts the major reforms of Solon, the rule of the tyrant Pisistratus and his sons, the emergence of the democracy in which power was shared by all free male citizens, and the leadership of Pericles and the demagogues who followed him. He goes on to examine the city's administration in his own time - the council, the officials and the judicial system. For its information on Athens' development and how the democracy worked, The Athenian Constitution is an invaluable source of knowledge about the Athenian city-state.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

Liverpool University Press The Athenian Constitution Written in the School
Book SynopsisThis book is an edition of the Athenian Constitution, the only one to survive of 158 Constitutions written in the school of Aristotle in the fourth century B.C., of which a text on papyrus was found at the end of the nineteenth century. Based on an edition commissioned by the Fondazione Lorenzo Valla in Italy, it provides an introduction, a re-edited Greek text with a facing translation, and a commentary. The editor has been engaged with this text throughout his working life, and published a large commentary on it in 1981 and a Penguin Classics translation of it in 1984: since then scholarly advances have continued, and he has been able to take advantage of them to bring the material in this book up to date. The translation aims at an accurate rendering of the Greek text; the commentary is based on the translation, and should be accessible to readers with little or no knowledge of Greek.Trade ReviewReviews 'An ideal book for undergraduate and graduate students of ancient history [as] it includes an English translation, focuses on the historical and historiographical aspects and is more affordable than the large commentary.'Gertjan Verhasselt, Bryn Mawr Classical Review‘Indispensable for drilling deep into the history and the educated democratic system of Athens.’ Uwe Walter, Historische Zeitschrift (translated from German)'The mere fact that it combines text, translation, and commentary, all in one place, already places this book well above the principal alternatives [...] The price is also very reasonable given the size of the book; any decent library that professes to cater to students of classics or ancient history ought to acquire a copy.

Oxford University Press Aristotle
Book SynopsisThis volume, which is part of the Clarendon Aristotle Series, offers a clear and faithful new translation of Books II to IV of Aristotle''s Nicomachean Ethics, accompanied by an analytical commentary focusing on philosophical issues. In Books II to IV, Aristotle gives his account of virtue of character in general and of the principal virtues individually, topics of central interest both to his ethical theory and to modern ethical theorists. Consequently major themes of the commentary are connections on the one hand with other relevant Aristotelian texts and on the other with modern writings, both text-related and thematic. Since the main aim of the volume is to make Aristotle''s thought as accessible as possible to readers who do not know Greek, considerable care is taken to elucidate both his technical vocabulary and significant features of his Greek idiom. C. C. W. Taylor also provides systematic comparisons with other translations into English and other languages, and frequent referTrade ReviewChristopher Taylor provides, for students and professionals alike, a helpfully close translation of, and much useful commentary on, the second, third, and fourth books of the Nicomachean Ethics .. . . a translation that eminently meets the goals of the Clarendon series: it is accurate, readable, and accompanied by a philosophically-oriented commentary . . . the commentary is a highly informed, often insightful, frequently illuminating guide . . . that will certainly repay close study, whatever one's prior level of expertise on Aristotle's ethics might be.. . . this is a volume I am very pleased to recommend, to specialists and non-specialists alike * Allan Gotthelf, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *Serious readers of the Nicomachean Ethics will certainly want to own this book. * Peter Aronoff *

First published in Italian, and now translated, updated, and expanded for English readers, this concise chronological narrative is the most authoritative account of Aristotle's life and his LyceumTrade ReviewOne of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles Top 25 Academic Books for 2014 "Gathering, distilling, and analyzing all the evidence and previous scholarship, Carlo Natali, one of the world's leading Aristotle scholars, provides a masterful synthesis that is accessible to students yet filled with evidence and original interpretations that specialists will find informative and provocative."--World Book Industry "Natali assembles all of the relevant ancient sources for the life of Aristotle and offers judicious assessments of their reliability and significance. The result, when it comes to the life of Aristotle, is that Natali's work is now the standard biography... This book both satisfies the highest standards of scholarship and is accessible to any intelligent readers. Every college and university library should have it."--Choice "Having read this book, I now have a much better grasp of the issues involved in ancient biography as it applies to Aristotle and other Peripatetics, and of what we know and we do not know (and knowing what we do not know is a kind of knowledge."--Robert Mayhew, Institute for Research in Classical Philosophy and ScienceTable of ContentsPreface (2013) - p. vii Introduction (1990) - p. 1 Chapter One - The Biography of Aristotle: Facts, Hypotheses, Conjectures - p. 5 *1.

What can he still teach us today?The Lyceum in Athens, now a ruin, has a claim to be the most significant place in human history. It is the site of Aristotle''s school. Here the philosopher taught and discussed the answers to the deepest mysteries of the human condition, and changed the way we think.Today, it can be difficult to fully comprehend the staggering influence of Aristotle''s lessons. Yet his observations about the world around him and his reflections on the nature of knowledge laid the foundations for all empirical science. His study of rational thought formed the basis of formal logic, the cornerstone of philosophical investigation. His examinati

Oxford University Press, USA Aristotles Metaphysics Beta
Book SynopsisNine leading scholars of ancient philosophy from Europe, the UK, and North America offer a systematic study of Book Beta of Aristotle''s Metaphysics. The work takes the form of a series of aporiai or ''difficulties'' which Aristotle presents as necessary points of engagement for those who wish to attain wisdom. The topics include causation, substance, constitution, properties, predicates, and generally the ontology of both the perishable and the imperishable world. Each contributor discusses one or two of these aporiai in sequence: the result is a discursive commentary on this seminal text of Western philosophy.Table of ContentsIntroduction ; 1.

Book SynopsisIn Aristotle and Law, George Duke argues that Aristotle''s seemingly dispersed statements on law and legislation are unified by a commitment to law''s status as an achievement of practical reason. This book provides a systematic exposition of the significance and coherence of Aristotle''s account of law, and also indicates the relevance of this account to contemporary legal theory. It will be of great interest to scholars and students in jurisprudence, philosophy, political science and classics.Trade Review'… a delightful and rewarding work.

Clarendon Press Aristotles First Principles
Book SynopsisAristotle''s reliance on dialectic as a method of philosophy appears to conflict with his metaphysical realist view of his conclusions. This book explores Aristotle''s philosophical method and the merits of his conclusions, and shows how he defends dialectic against the objection that it cannot justify a metaphysical realist''s claims.The author does not presuppose extensive previous acquaintance with Aristotle. Greek texts are translated, and Greek words transliterated.Trade Review`Undoubtedly a major work - scholarly, learned, detailed ... Irwin's book will certainly be something for Aristotelians to discuss for a long time.' Times Higher Education Supplement`T.H. Irwin's rich book ... is vastly learned ...The argument is always based on a scholarly perusal of the texts; and it is usually presented with philosophical subtelty and precision ... He writes of Aristotle with admiration and with love; and his affection gives a charming blush to a serious book ... already a classic of its kind.'

University of Chicago Press Aristotle
Book SynopsisA thought-provoking exploration of assertiveness within Aristotle's work and how it affects democratic functioning. Today, democracy is seen as the best or even the only legitimate form of government. With this book, Delba Winthrop punctures this complacency and takes up the challenge of justifying democracy through Aristotle's political science. In Aristotle's time and in ours, democrats want inclusiveness; they want above all to include everyone as a part of a whole. But what makes a whole? This is a question for both politics and philosophy, and Winthrop shows that Aristotle pursues the answer in the Politics. She uncovers in his political science the insights philosophy brings to politics and, especially, the insights politics brings to philosophy. Through her appreciation of this dual purpose and her skilled execution of her argument, Winthrop makes profound discoveries. Central to politics, she maintains, is the quality of assertivenessthe kind of speech that demands to be heard.

Oxford University Press Aristotles Prior Analytics book I
Book SynopsisAristotle''s Prior Analytics marks the beginning of formal logic. For Aristotle himself, this meant the discovery of a general theory of valid deductive argument, a project that he had described as either impossible or impracticable, probably not very long before he actually came up with syllogistic reasoning. A syllogism is the inferring of one proposition from two others of a particular form, and it is the subject of the Prior Analytics. The first book, to which this volume is devoted, offers a fairly coherent presentation of Aristotle''s logic as a general theory of deductive argument.Table of ContentsINTRODUCTION ; 1.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG The Priority of Locomotion in Aristotle's Physics
Book SynopsisThe work deals in depth with Aristotles thesis that the change of location is in many ways the most important and fundamental form of change and therefore has priority over all other types of change. In a first step, the author asks about the relevance of this by no means self-evident priority thesis and its discussion in Physics VIII. He shows that Aristotle's arguments for this thesis -- contrary to the previous interpretation -- have an essential function in the larger context of Physics VIII and the Aristotelian one Fulfill natural philosophy in general. The focus of the work is on the exact reconstruction and discussion of the often difficult arguments in their complexity and brevity. The examination of this previously unexamined aspect of Aristotelian natural philosophy also provides information about the relationship that, according to Aristotle, exists between the different types of change. The study therefore makes a major contribution to a better understanding of his general theory of change and his natural philosophy.
