Excellent !,
This review is from: The Philosophy of Aristotle (Mentor) (Paperback)
There are many reasons why this little book is worth more than its weight in gold.The editor has done the most admirable job in selecting the best translations and in including appropriate excerpts from Aristotle's voluminous work.The brief editorial introductions to each of the great philosopher's "books" are gems of historical and interpretive insight and in themselves well worth the purchase.The flowing and flawless English of these brilliant translations make reading it irresistible while remaining sensitive to matetial where, as Aristotle himself said, language and reality are inseparable.The material itself is, of course, unsurpassed. Aristotle is simply the most admired mind to have ever appeared on this Earth. If you have not experienced Aristotle and if you are willing to make the effort to understand some difficult concepts, you will be rewarded with the most important and fundamental knowledge through this book. Then your life will never be the same again.

This Stuff is Very Heavy!!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Philosophy of Aristotle (Mentor) (Paperback)
Don't order this book unless you are a philosophy major it is very deep and can be confusing at times.Aristotle can be very hard to understand he is the father of philosophy and his musings tend to be complex.If you want to read a great book read man's meaning in life by Victor Frankl.I am not sure that the translation for this book is the best I've seen.
