"On the Parts of Animals" is a biological treatise written by Aristotle, in which he extensively examines the anatomy and physiology of different animals, including humans. The book is divided into four sections, each focusing on a different aspect of animal life. In the first section, Aristotle explores the concept of soul and distinguishes between different types of souls that exist in animals. In the second section, he discusses the structure and function of sensory organs, such as eyes and ears, and how animals use them to interact with their environment. In the third section, he analyzes the digestive system and other internal organs, as well as the reproductive system, to understand how animals sustain themselves and reproduce. Finally, in the fourth section, he looks at the differences between different animal species and the variations in their anatomy and physiology. Read in English, unabridged.

'Poetics' is essential reading for anyone interested in the foundations of Western literature and drama, offering profound reflections on the nature of art and the human experience.

Poetics

The Nicomachean Ethics is Aristotle's best-known work on this subject. It consists of ten books and is based on notes from his lectures at the Lyceum. The theme of the work is the Socratic question of how men should best live. Before Socrates, philosophy was merely theoretical. This changed dramatically with Aristotle's works, which bind philosophy to human issues. The Nicomachean Ethics are therefore practical rather than theoretical, in the original Aristotelian senses of these terms. This edition is annotated with more than 250 notes.

The Nicomachean Ethics

Plato was a philosopher in Ancient Greece. He was an essential figure in the development of philosophy, especially the Western tradition, and he founded the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. Plato's dialogues have been used to teach a range of subjects, including philosophy, logic, ethics, rhetoric, religion and mathematics. His lasting themes include Platonic love, the theory of forms, the five regimes, innate knowledge, among others. His theory of forms launched a unique perspective on abstract objects, and led to a school of thought called Platonism. This collection contains the following works by Plato: Early Works •Apology •Charmides, or Temperance •Crito •Euthyphro •Gorgias •Hippias, Lesser •Hippias, Greater •Ion •Laches •Lysis •Protagoras Transitional Works •Cratylus •Euthydemus •Meno •Parmenides •Phaedo •Phaedrus •Symposium •The Republic Middle Works •Theaetetus Late Works •Critias •Laws •Philebus •Sophist •Statesman •Timaeus

Nicomachean Ethics is the magnum opus of the eminent Greek philosopher Aristotle on Ethics. In it, he unveils his teleological conception of practical rationality, his vision of virtue, and his reflections on the role of habit and prudence. It is considered the most mature and representative work of Aristotelian thought. The title derives from the name of his son and also disciple, Nicomachus. It is believed that the work is the result of Nicomachus' lecture notes, published by Aristotle's disciples after Nicomachus' premature death in combat. It is an indispensable ebook in the field of philosophy and ethics.

While wisdom is something to be accrued through experience and knowledge, ‘500 Quotes to Learn Wisdom from Classical Greek Philosophers’ offers a shortcut. Dipping into the minds of some of the most revered thinkers of Ancient Greece, this book is packed with insights, reflections, and observations sure to inspire and stimulate thought. A superb gift for anyone with an inquiring mind. Considered one of the founders of Western and Greek philosophy, Plato (243 BC – 347 BC) was born in Athens. Many of his works are still studied to this day. Born in Stagira, Aristotle (384 BC – 322 BC) had a different take on philosophy. The founder of the peripatetic school, his doctrines are based on asking ‘why?’, before drawing conclusions. A former slave, Epictetus (50 AD – C 135) went on to promote philosophy as a way of life, rather than a set of beliefs. Credited as one of the fathers of Western philosophy, Socrates (470 BC – 399 BC) brought morality and ethics into the philosophical spotlight. Heraclitus (535 BC – 475 BC) was one of the pioneers of logic and drew from a variety of philosophical ideas.

500 Quotes to Learn Wisdom from Classical Greek Philosophers

One of the most important philosophical works in history, a work that has had tremendous influence on philosophy, literature, and psychology, and has helped lay the foundations of the modern day intellectual landscape. The influence of 'The Nicomachean Ethics' is still visible in the works of philosophers of the 21st century, such as Martha Nussbaum and Alasdair MacIntyre. With remarkable lucidity, Aristotle tackles the question of the nature of happiness, and that of moral and intellectual virtues. He aims to prove that both are linked to and indivisible from one another—that virtuous behaviour is necessary if happiness is to be obtained—and from this he maps out the steps to follow and the requirements to achieve it. In short, 'The Nicomachean Ethics' sketches out a hierarchy of virtues to find the highest good a human can accomplish, which in turn will lead them to true happiness. Aristotle (384–322 BC) is one of the most influential philosophers in history. His achievements and the breadth of his knowledge, though, do not stop at philosophy. He is also among the rare thinkers to have approached all the fields of knowledge he came across (biology, physics, metaphysics, logic, poetics, politics, rhetoric, ethics, economics) with success. Among his works, the most lauded are: "Metaphysics", "On the Soul" and "Poetics".

On Memory is a work of the Greek philosopher and scientist Aristotle, included in the collection Parva Naturalia. The Parva Naturalia (a conventional Latin title first used by Giles of Rome: "short treatises on nature") are a collection of seven works by Aristotle, which discuss natural phenomena involving the body and the soul. They form parts of Aristotle's biology.

Aristotle's Poetics (Greek: Περὶ ποιητικῆς; Latin: De Poetica) is the earliest surviving work of dramatic theory and first extant philosophical treatise to focus on literary theory. In it, Aristotle offers an account of what he calls "poetry" (a term that derives from a classical Greek term, ποιητής, that means "poet; author; maker" and in this context includes verse drama – comedy, tragedy, and the satyr play – as well as lyric poetry and epic poetry). They are similar in the fact that they are all imitations but different in the three ways that Aristotle describes: Differences in music rhythm, harmony, meter and melody. Difference of goodness in the characters. Difference in how the narrative is presented: telling a story or acting it out. In examining its "first principles", Aristotle finds two: 1) imitation and 2) genres and other concepts by which that of truth is applied/revealed in the poesis. His analysis of tragedy constitutes the core of the discussion. Although Aristotle's Poetics is universally acknowledged in the Western critical tradition, "almost every detail about his seminal work has aroused divergent opinions". The work was lost to the Western world for a long time. It was available in the Middle Ages and early Renaissance only through a Latin translation of an Arabic version written by Averroes. Aristotle's work on aesthetics consists of the Poetics, Politics and Rhetoric. The Poetics is specifically concerned with drama. At some point, Aristotle's original work was divided in two, each "book" written on a separate roll of papyrus.

"On Life and Death" is a work of the Greek philosopher and scientist Aristotle, which was included in the collection Parva Naturalia ("short treatises on nature"). The collection consists of seven essays discussing various natural phenomena related to the body and soul. The culmination of Aristotle's "Parva Naturalia" is the definition of the stages of the life cycle, from the birth of a new living being to death.

On Life and Death

Aristotle (384 BC–322 BC) was an important Greek philosopher, one of the most influential thinkers in Western culture, having been a disciple of the philosopher Plato. Aristotle developed a comprehensive philosophical system in which he pondered practically all existing subjects, such as geometry, physics, metaphysics, botany, zoology, astronomy, medicine, psychology, ethics, drama, poetry, rhetoric, mathematics, and logic. " On the Soul" (in Latin, De Anima) is a text by the Greek philosopher Aristotle of Stagira, composed of three books, and there are no doubts about the authenticity of the work. In "On the Soul," Aristotle's objective is to analyze the main problems concerning the soul, which is the vital principle of every living being. Book I consists of an introduction and contextualization of the theme; Book II presents analyses on the relationship between soul and body, the faculties of the soul, nutrition, and sensation; in Book III, Aristotle discusses imagination and thought, as well as the relations between sensation and intellect. It is also in this treatise, specifically in Book III, that the philosopher presents his influential theory of active intellect and passive intellect.

"On the Gait of Animals" is a scientific work written by Aristotle, which explores the ways in which different animals move and how their movements are related to their anatomy and physiology. The work is part of Aristotle's broader investigation into the natural world, and it represents an important contribution to the field of biology. Read in English, unabridged.

On the Gait of Animals

We live in an era rife with cultural conflict. The 21st century is by no means free of wars, terrorism, riots, famine, nor epidemics. We may attempt to solve the challenges of our times by uniting the humanistic disciplines of philosophy, science, and technology. Our modern reality requires a fundamental understanding of the problems beleaguering our existence. Science and literature are key tools for gaining this insight. The wisdom accumulated throughout the centuries by scientists, philosophers, and writers is a solid foundation on which modern man can build the future. Our ability to learn from those who have come before is precisely what led Protagoras to declare that "Man is the measure of all things."

Aristotle's Poetics is best known for its definitions and analyses of tragedy and comedy, but it also applies to truth and beauty as they are manifested in the other arts. In our age, when the natural and social sciences have dominated the quest for truth, it is helpful to consider why Aristotle claimed poetry is more philosophical and more significant than history. Like so many other works by Aristotle, the Poetics has dominated the way we have thought about all forms of dramatic performance in Europe and America ever since. The essence of poetry lies in its ability to transcend the particulars of everyday experience and articulate universals, not merely what has happened but what might happen and what ought to happen. © Agora Publications

Aristotle's Poetics

"On the Soul" is a philosophical treatise written by Aristotle in the 4th century BC. The book is focused on the nature of the soul and its relationship to the body, as well as the various faculties of the soul such as perception, thought, and desire. The majority of the book is devoted to the discussion of the various faculties of the soul. Aristotle examines perception, memory, imagination, and thought in detail, and argues that these faculties are interconnected and form a hierarchy of cognitive processes. He also discusses the role of desire in human behavior, and how it relates to the other faculties of the soul. Read in English, unabridged.

Biology was a natural pursuit for Aristotle, given his family's medical background. Along with his achievements in logic, his work in biology constitutes his greatest and longest-lasting success. He identified approximately 495 different species of animals, some of which were alluded to briefly and others that were studied in considerable depth. A significant part of his achievement was simply the sheer amount of data that he collected, but he is also praised for the skill and care with which he organised the data, along with the insights he offered. His central work in biological studies was titled "The History of Animals". Aristotle draws the most important distinctions between animals with and without blood and between viviparous (reproducing offspring within the female's body, as generally the case with mammals) and oviparous (reproducing through the hatching of eggs) animals. He paid considerable attention to the questions of reproduction and heredity, determining what factors contribute in what ways. Aristotle's teleology played a particularly important role in his biological studies. He believed that no organ was given to an animal without a purpose. Thus he was careful to distinguish between final and variable characteristics. Final characteristics were those essential to an animal species, while variable characteristics consisted of qualities that develop rather than being naturally endowed.

The History of Animals

"On the Motion of Animals" is a scientific work by Aristotle that explores the principles of motion in living beings. In this treatise, Aristotle observes and analyzes the movements of various animals, from insects to humans, in order to understand the mechanics of motion and the physiological and psychological factors that drive it. Aristotle begins by examining the different types of motion, including natural, violent, and voluntary, and how they relate to the movements of animals. He then delves into the anatomy and physiology of different animals, looking at their skeletal structures, muscular systems, and nervous systems, and how they work together to produce motion.

Aristotle's "Nicomachean Ethics" is a foundational text in Western moral philosophy, exploring the nature of righteousness and the pursuit of the good life. Written in a clear and methodical style, the work combines theoretical inquiry with practical wisdom, emphasizing the importance of virtue and character. Aristotle introduces the concept of the 'Golden Mean,' advocating for moderation and balance in human conduct. Set against the backdrop of classical Greek thought, the text engages with the ethical theories of Socrates and Plato while establishing a distinct approach grounded in empirical observation and human experience. Aristotle, a student of Plato and tutor to Alexander the Great, was deeply influenced by his rich philosophical environment. His empirical approach stemmed from a desire to understand the complexities of human behavior and ethics in the context of the polis, or city-state. This pursuit led him to compile his lectures on ethics into a comprehensive framework that addresses both individual and societal morality, reflecting his profound understanding of human nature and the pursuit of eudaimonia, or flourishing. This seminal work is essential reading for those interested in ethics, philosophy, and the human condition. Aristotle's insights into virtue ethics continue to resonate, providing timeless guidance on how to achieve personal happiness and contribute to the greater good. "Nicomachean Ethics" is not only a rich philosophical treatise but also a practical manual for navigating the complexities of moral life.

Nicomachean Ethics

In "Rhetoric," Aristotle meticulously explores the art of persuasion, delineating the principles that govern effective communication. This seminal text interweaves philosophical inquiry with practical guidelines, presenting rhetoric as not merely a tool for persuasion but as an integral component of ethical discourse. Aristotle's systematic approach categorizes rhetorical appeals'Äîethos, pathos, and logos'Äîwhile situating rhetoric within the broader scope of philosophy and public life, reflecting the intellectual climate of fourth-century BCE Athens, where eloquence was paramount in civic engagement. Aristotle, a towering figure in Western philosophy, served as a student of Plato and tutor to Alexander the Great, which profoundly influenced his views on language, ethics, and governance. His breadth of knowledge, spanning biology, metaphysics, and politics, lent distinctive depth to his rhetorical analysis. Aristotle's observations were shaped by his commitment to empirical study, leading him to emphasize reason and observation over mere emotional appeal, a stance that illustrates his philosophical roots and practical insights. "Rhetoric" is an essential read for anyone interested in the foundations of persuasive communication, offering timeless wisdom that transcends its historical context. Whether you are a student of philosophy, a writer, or a public speaker, Aristotle's exploration serves as both a guide and a challenge to refine your communicative skills and foster meaningful dialogue.

The Physics of Aristotle is one of the foundational books of Western science and philosophy. As Martin Heidegger once wrote.The Physics is a lecture in which he seeks to determine beings that arise on their own, τὰ φύσει ὄντα, with regard to their being. Aristotelian "physics" is different from what we mean today by this word, not only to the extent that it belongs to antiquity whereas the modern physical sciences belong to modernity, rather above all it is different by virtue of the fact that Aristotle's "physics" is philosophy, whereas modern physics is a positive science that presupposes a philosophy.... This book determines the warp and woof of the whole of Western thinking, even at that place where it, as modern thinking, appears to think at odds with ancient thinking. But opposition is invariably comprised of a decisive, and often even perilous, dependence. Without Aristotle's Physics there would have been no Galileo.

His experiences within the Athenian philosophical community and his practical concerns about the nature of human happiness informed his exploration of ethics as a practical pursuit, one intimately connected to human flourishing. This essential text is highly recommended for readers seeking to deepen their understanding of moral philosophy. "Nicomachean Ethics" is not only a cornerstone of ethical thought but also offers timeless wisdom applicable to contemporary life. It invites readers to reflect on their own values and the virtues necessary for a fulfilling existence.

The "Nicomachean Ethics" by the Greek philosopher Aristotle is the most influential book of the moral philosophy and one of the earliest treatises on the nature of good actions or ethics. From Kant to John Rawls, all philosophers have discussed the issue with Aristotle on the good life and on happiness. The title derives from either Aristotle's father, Nicomachus, or his son, also named Nicomachus. In the "Nicomachean Ethics" Aristotle raises the question of virtue: How should we act? How to live? The man, he said, must act according to reason. The moral of Aristotle is an ethics based on actions, the outcome (“good is the end”) override the intention, contrary to the kantian ethics.

Aristotle's "Nicomachean Ethics" serves as a foundational text in moral philosophy, delving into the nature of the good life and the cultivation of virtue. Written in a clear, dialectical style that intertwines argumentation with practical examples, Aristotle explores the concepts of happiness (eudaimonia) and moral character through a lens of virtue ethics. The text is not only a reflection of the philosophical milieu of Hellenistic thought but also a response to Socratic ideals, offering a systematic approach to ethical behavior that emphasizes the importance of habit and rationality in achieving moral excellence. Aristotle, one of the most influential philosophers in Western thought, wrote this seminal work as a guide for his son, Nicomachus, blending personal insight with philosophical inquiry. His extensive studies in various fields, including biology, politics, and metaphysics, inform his ethical considerations, imbuing them with a comprehensive view of human nature. This intimate correspondence captures Aristotle's intention to merge theoretical knowledge with practical application, making the work a vital resource for ethical reflection.

Aristotle: Nicomachean Ethics

Aristotle's "Organon 'Äî Prior Analytics" stands as a seminal work in the realm of logic, laying the foundational principles for deductive reasoning. This treatise introduces the syllogistic method, meticulously exploring the structure of arguments through a series of formal rules. Written in a clear and concise style, Aristotle employs precise terminology to dissect propositions and conclusions, allowing readers to grasp the essence of logical inference within a broader philosophical framework. The text not only reflects Aristotle's analytical prowess but also situates itself in the context of ancient Greek philosophical discourse, influencing subsequent thinkers across various disciplines. Aristotle, the great philosopher of the fourth century BCE, is often lauded as the father of both logic and empirical science.
