Notă biografică
Aristotle (384-322 BC) was an ancient Greek philosopher, scientist, and teacher whose writings became foundational works in Western philosophy and scholarship. A student of Plato and tutor to Alexander the Great, Aristotle founded the Lyceum in Athens and produced influential works on ethics, politics, logic, science, literature, and rhetoric.His systematic approach to knowledge shaped centuries of intellectual development. Aristotle's writings remain among the most studied works in history and continue to influence philosophy, education, science, political theory, and the study of human communication.
Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'. . . the more honourable animals have been allotted a more honourable soul. . . 'What is the nature of the soul? It is this question that Aristotle sought to answer in De Anima (On the Soul). In doing so he offers a psychological theory that encompasses not only human beings but all living beings. Its basic thesis, that the soul is the form of an organic body, sets it in sharp contrast with both Pre-Socratic physicalism and Platonic dualism. On the Soul contains Aristotle's definition of the soul, and his explanations of nutrition, perception, cognition, and animal self-motion. The general theory in De Anima is augmented in the shorter works of Parva Naturalia, which deal with perception, memory and recollection, sleep and dreams, longevity, life-cycles, and psycho-physiology.This new translation brings together all of Aristotle's extant and complementary psychological works, and adds as a supplement ancient testimony concerning his lost writings dealing with the soul. The introduction by Fred D. Miller, Jr. explains the central place of the soul in Aristotle's natural science, the unifying themes of his psychological theory, and his continuing relevance for modern philosophy and psychology.

Recenzii
Elegant, philosophically sensitive, and informed by some of the best recent scholarly work on Aristotle's psychology and biology [...] I probably cannot overemphasise how good this translation is a whole, and how useful it will be to students and scholars wanting an accessible, up to date translation of all of Aristotle's psychological works together. Miller's work is a great scholarly achievement, and one that is worth far more than its listed price.
