hardcover. Enlarged Edition. 8vo 336pp. sixth impression. from Preface: "The present augmented and revised edition offers a translation of chosen passages from seven of Aristotle's most important works: Natural Science (commonly known as the Physics), Metaphysics (which Aristotle, had he entitled it himself, would doubtless have preferred to call First or Basic Philosophy), Zoology (comprising passages from the Historia Animalium, De Partibus Animalium, and De Generatione Animalium), Psychology (De Anima), The Nicomachean Ethics, On Statecraft (the so-called Politics), and The Art of Poetry (the Poetics). By this diversity the modern reader may become acquainted, in relatively brief space, with the breadth as well as the detailed penetration of the great Stagirite's researches, deductions, and speculations." #03101.
