De Anima: On the Soul
Autor Aristotle Mark Shiffmanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 sep 2010
A complete translation of Aristotle’s classic work De Anima supplemented with well-chosen notes and a comprehensive introduction. Also commonly translated as On the Soul, this work is a seminal work from the roots of Classical thinking on the nature of life and the lifeforce.
Focus Philosophical Library translations are close to and are non-interpretative of the original text, with the notes and a glossary intending to provide the reader with some sense of the terms and the concepts as they were understood by Aristotle’s immediate audience.

Recenzii
"Shiffman's fidelity both to Aristotle's text and to opening the complex thought contained therein to the contemporary reader is evident throughout this translation. It neither attempts to resolve difficulty nor drown the reader in obscurity; instead, it invites the reader to puzzle through this magnificent and difficult text herself. The wonderful introduction supplies any number of tools to do so and is a model of the rigorous and restrained articulation of essential themes and contemporary resonances. The glossary contains an indispensable and illuminating discussion of terms. Readable and thought-provoking, this translation is particularly well-suited for the classroom. Students at all levels will benefit from its lucidity and provocation to thought"

Notă biografică
Aristotle was a Greek philosopher and polymath. Taught by Plato, was the founder of the Peripatetic school of philosophy. His writings cover many subjects including physics, biology, metaphysics, logic, ethics, aesthetics, poetry, theatre, music, rhetoric, psychology, linguistics, economics, politics, meteorology, and geology. Medieval academia was significantly influenced by Aristotle's ideas. His writings comprise the oldest formal study of logic that is known. Medieval academics like Peter Abelard and John Buridan studied them. The father of zoology, political science, biology, and logic have all been credited to Aristotle. Aristotle was born at Stagira, Chalcidice, 384 BC, about 55 kilometers (34 miles) east of the present-day city of Thessaloniki. His father was King Amyntas of Macedon's physician, Nicomachus. Aristotle went to Lesbos with his student Theophrastus when Hermias passed away. Aristotle received an invitation from Philip II of Macedon in 343 BC to teach his son Alexander. Aristotle had an overtly ethnocentric view of Persia. He left a will upon his death in 322 BC, requesting to be buried close to his wife.
