For Plato the soul was the seat of being, metaphysically distinct from the body that it was forced temporarily to inhabit. In 'De Anima', Plato's student, Aristotle sought to set out his theory of soul as the ultimate reality of embodied form and produced a masterpiece of philosophical insight.

Translated by Rhys Roberts and Ingram Bywater, Introduction by Edward P.J. Corbett

This is a complete English translation of Aristotle's key work on science. It presents Aristotle's thought accurately, while at the same time simplifying and expanding the often crabbed and elliptical style of the original, in order to make the text more lucid.

Aristotle's Poetics has long been recognized as a seminal work of literary criticism. His analysis of tragic drama, epic poetry and stylistic devices such as metaphor, and his famous notion of the cathartic purging of the emotions, have defined a critical terminology for generations of later writers. In the Ars Poetica Horace defends the civilizing power of poetry and the fundamental importance of the principle decorum, while the anonymous author of the treatise On the Sublime (who was formerly erroneously thought to be Longinus) stresses the innate ability required to produce poetry of sublime grandeur.

One of Aristotle's great works, The Physics is an investigation into the nature of being, of the world and its place in the universe. Although philosophically much broader, it provides the foundation for the later work of Galileo, Isaac Newton, and prefigures Albert Einstein's breakthrough theories on time, space and the motion of stars.

"Even those already familiar with Aristotle may be surprised to learn that discussions of theological topics can be found in so many of his works. Reeve's idea of packaging these texts sequentially along with commentary and notes is brilliant. This book will be essential reading for anyone interested in Aristotle's theology." --S. Marc Cohen, Professor of Philosophy, Emeritus, University of Washington

Each volume in this series has a full Introduction, including biographical details and a further reading list.

Probably 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.

Aristotle’s essential guide to human flourishing—the Nicomachean Ethics—in a lively new abridged translation Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics is one of the greatest guides to human flourishing ever written, but its length and style have left many readers languishing. How to Flourish is a carefully abridged version of the entire work in a highly readable and colloquial new translation by Susan Sauvé Meyer that makes Aristotle’s timeless insights about how to lead a good life more engaging and accessible than ever before. For Aristotle, flourishing involves becoming a good person through practice, and having a life of the mind. To that end, he draws vivid portraits of virtuous and vicious characters and offers sound practical advice about everything from eating and drinking to managing money, controlling anger, getting along with others, and telling jokes. He also distinguishes different kinds of wisdom that are essential to flourishing and offers an unusual perspective on how to appreciate our place in the universe and our relation to the divine. Omitting Aristotle’s digressions and repetitions and overly technical passages, How to Flourish provides connecting commentary that allows readers to follow the continuous line of his thought; it also features the original Greek on facing pages. The result is an inviting and lively version of an essential work about how to flourish and lead a good life.

Presents a English language translation of Aristotle's book about the nature of the state, constitutions, revolutions, democracy, and oligarchy.

Aristotle's Physics deals with the principles of motion; it discusses nature, causation, chance, necessity, motion and its kinds, infinity, time, place, void, and whatever is necessary for motion. It does not treat its subject mathematically, and, in this respect, it differs from modern physics; but it is universal enough to be applicable to such sciences as biology and psychology, for the principles of the Physics are presupposed by these other sciences. Aristotle was well aware of applications of mathematics to other sciences, but he used different names for those sciences, e.g., mechanics, optics, astronomy, acoustics, and these taken together hardly differ from modern physics with respect to general subject and treatment. Thus, in his Mechanics, he states that the subject belongs to physics, but the treatment is mathematical. Hippocrates G. Apostle held that the Physics was written as a science should be, and, for this reason, he translates it accurately and scientifically, with familiar and consistent terminology, a glossary of definitions, and extensive commentaries, thus making the translation readable and understandable

"The relation between logic and metaphysics is frequently obscure in translations and interpretations of Aristotle. Apostle's method of translation-one English word for one Greek word-makes his English text a faithful replica of the Greek original. The reader of his translations of the Posterior Analytics and of the Metaphysics will find a clear presentation of the difference between the metaphysical foundation of the organization of the sciences relative to the kinds of substances in Book Lambda of the Metaphysics and the logical analysis of definition and demonstration relative to terms and propositions in Book Beta of the Posterior Analytics." -Richard McKeaon University of Chicago "If what is wanted is an accurate, consistent and intelligible translation (rather than a paraphrase) of Aristotle's logic of scientific reasoning, then by far Apostle's translation is to be preferred for serious study in the English language; such a study is greatly facilitated by extensive philosophical and textual notes, often illustrated by mathematical examples." -James A. Weisheipl, O.P. Pontifical Institute of Medieval Studies

"Every serious student of Aristotle I know--whether novice or research scholar--acknowledges that Apostle's accurate translations and illuminating commentaries are absolutely indispensable." --Rev. Ronald K. Tacelli, S.J., Boston College
