Aristotle: Selections Summary

Aristotle: Selections by Aristotle

Selections seeks to provide an accurate and readable translation that will allow the reader to follow Aristotle's use of crucial technical terms and to grasp the details of his argument. Unlike anthologies that combine translations by many hands, this volume includes a fully integrated set of translations by a two-person team. The glossary--the most detailed in any edition--explains Aristotle's vocabulary and indicates the correspondences between Greek and English words. Brief notes supply alternative translations and elucidate difficult passages.

About Aristotle

ARISTOTLE was born in the village of Stagira in northern Greece, in 384 BCE. At seventeen he moved to Athens and was a devoted pupil of Plato for twenty years. Then, he was summoned by King Philip of Macedon to tutor his son Alexander, who later became known as Alexander the Great. Upon Aristotle s return to Athens, he started his own school, the Lyceum. He lectured there for twelve years and is believed to have written most of his books during that time. In 323 BCE he retired to Chalkis, where he died one year later. Terence Irwin is Professor of Ancient Philosophy in the University of Oxford, and Fellow of Keble College. Gail Fine is Professor of Philosophy, Cornell University.
