This is a popular and long-running anthology that brings together key excerpts from the most important works of the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle. This collection is designed as an accessible introduction to his philosophy, ideal for students and the general public. The book contains carefully selected passages from six major areas of Aristotle's work: physics (Aristotle's considerations on nature, change, time, and motion), psychology (the study of the soul, perception, and the human mind), metaphysics (the study of being, existence, and the first causes of reality), Nicomachean ethics (a discussion of virtue, happiness, and what constitutes a good life), politics (an analysis of the ideal order of the state, community, and the role of citizens), and poetics (The foundations of literary theory, with particular emphasis on tragedy and dramatic structure). The texts are based on the respected Oxford translation edited by W. D. Ross. Justin D. Kaplan has supplemented the text with introductions and concise commentaries that make complex ideas easier to understand.
