A reconstruction of Aristotle's systematic Psychology from the full range of his philosophical and scientific treatises. Special attention is given to Aristotle's theories of perception, learning and memory, motivation and emotion, and the development of the moral virtues within the political life of the community. The debts to and departures from Aristotle's own teacher, Plato, and the larger cultural context of both Aristotelian and Platonic thought developed are reviewed.
