Estos dos tratados, de autoría dudosa, inauguran una línea de estudios sobre la expresión del carácter y las emociones en los rasgos anatómicos que influiría en la crítica de arte hasta el Renacimiento.Este estudio de la expresion del caracter y las emociones en los rasgos anatomicos se ha atribuido a Aristoteles, aunque tal autoria es dudosa. En todo caso, pone de manifiesto la admiracion hacia el saber enciclopedico del filosofo de Estagira y de la escuela peripatetica, puesto que este tratado inaugura una linea de estudios que tuvo gran influencia en la composicion y la recepcion del arte hasta bien entrado el Renacimiento.

The Constitution of Athens is a thorough description of the political system of that ancient state. The treatise was composed between 330 and 322 BC and consists of two parts. The first part deals with the different forms of the constitution, the second part describes the citys institutions, including the terms of access to citizenship, magistrates and the courts.

Politics is Aristotles most known work on political philosophy. The treatise is the logical sequel to the Nicomachean Ethics, as both works deal with the "philosophy of human affairs." The whole treatise consists of eight books and chapters about constitutions, democracy, oligarchy, citizenships, states and political theories.

The Nicomachean Ethics is Aristotles best-known work on this subject. It consists of ten books and is based on notes from his lectures at the Lyceum. The theme of the work is the Socratic question of how men should best live. Before Socrates, philosophy was merely theoretical. This changed dramatically with Aristotles works, which bind philosophy to human issues. The Nicomachean Ethics are therefore practical rather than theoretical, in the original Aristotelian senses of these terms. This edition is annotated with more than 250 notes.

The Organon is another name for the standard collection of Aristotles six works on logic. They still belong to the most significant works on this subject and were highly influential throughout history for many philosophical tendencies, especially the Scholastics. This edition contains all six works. Contents: Categories On Interpretation Prior Analytics Posterior Analytics Topics Sophistical Refutations

"Introducing Aristotle" guides the reader through an explosion of theories, from the establishment of systematic logic to the earliest rules of science. Aristotles authority extended beyond his own lifetime to influence fundamentally Islamic philosophy and medieval scholasticism. For fifteen centuries, he remained the paradigm of knowledge itself. But can Aristotelian realism still be used to underpin our conception of the world today?

"Introducing Plato" begins by explaining how philosophers like Socrates and Pythagoras influenced Platos thought. It provides a clear account of Platos puzzling theory of knowledge, and explains how this theory then directed his provocative views on politics, ethics and individual liberty. It offers detailed critical commentaries on all of the key doctrines of Platonism, especially the very odd theory of Forms, and concludes by revealing how Platos philosophy stimulated the work of important modern thinkers such as Karl Popper, Martha Nussbaum, and Jacques Derrida.

Jorge Luis Borges philosophical fiction and Platos intellectual dramas are perhaps the most intricate records in Western history of attempts to artfully interweave mythos and logos, argumentation and narrative, thought and imagination. Their juxtaposition, presented in the following study, aims at demonstrating the complex connections between classical and modern literature and thought. The study shows how the Platonic viewpoint sheds new light on Borges essayistic and fictional work, providing what Wittgenstein calls an aspect change in considering Borges literary and theoretical work as a whole textual corpus. The first part of the study deals with three theoretical themes: the interrelation of myth and logos, the quest for knowledge, and the theory of the archetypes. The second part is more aesthetically oriented, attending to artistic inspiration, literary representation, narrative identity, the nature of the written word, the act of reading, and the act of writing. All in all, the study strives to manifest the extent to which Borges thought is deeply rooted in classical doctrines and Platonic themes, and, based on that, to provide new interpretations to Borgesian stories and poems.

Epicuro ensinava filosofia no subúrbio de Atenas, em uma pequena casa, doada por amigos, circundada por um jardim, e numa pequena propriedade. Foi definitivamente ali, aberto ao grande público, que ele se ocupou em consolidar sua filosofia, edificada sob tres seguimentos: metodologico, teorico e etico. Dividido em duas partes, este livro pe em questo e analisa, por um lado, o modo como esses tres segmentos (o da Canonica, o da Fisica e o da Etica) se articulam entre si, e juntos constituem uma unidade; por outro, expe os pressupostos teoricos da Canonica: aqueles com os quais Epicuro assentou as bases da doutrina e especificou o modelo epicurista de filosofar.

Le argomentazioni presentate in questo volume costituiscono le premesse di un lavoro di ricerca che ha investito linsieme dei "Dialoghi italiani" di Giordano Bruno, riuscendo a reperire e a far emergere quello che pare il nucleo piu profondo e importante della speculazione bruniana: la presenza attiva di un concetto triadico di natura teologico-politica: il Padre, il Figlio e lo Spirito Santo della tradizione trinitaria cristiana. Esso viene riformulato, attraverso il capovolgimento rivoluzionario di quella stessa tradizione, grazie alla riaffermazione del concetto creativo e dialettico dellinfinito.In questo volume questa struttura viene fatta gradualmente emergere e viene portata ad evidenza attraverso la critica operata progressivamente da Giordano Bruno ed il ribaltamento della logica che innerva tre testi aristotelici fondamentali: la "Metafisica", la "Fisica", "Il cielo".

No philosophical idea, no matter how small, can live alone. Ideas always gain their force, power, and life from their surroundings - their ecosystem. The ecosystem of ideas defended in this book comes from the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle and his medieval interpreter, Thomas Aquinas. The ongoing relevance of their philosophical thought to twenty-first century issues is opened up in fascinating ways in this book. Life, the Universe, and Everything is the product of thirty years of teaching introductory courses in philosophy. Assuming no prior background, it only requires of readers an enquiring mind and a willingness to think carefully. An ideal guide to the big questions we face.

Plato did not create his philosophy ex nihilo, but rather drew on four centuries of literary production in epic and lyric poetry, on ethnography and historiography, tragedy and comedy, medical and mathematical research, oratory and rhetorical theory, as well as on Presocratic philosophy. Words & Ideas offers a study of Platos philosophical language against this cultural background, retracing to their origins the history and development of the key terms of the Theory of Forms as presented in the Phaedo. Form or idea, ousia or being, participation, presence and community are among the concepts investigated. The aim is to determine both the connotations of Platos philosophical terms and the precise historical and philosophical contexts on which Plato drew in the formulation of his thoughts. In tracing the roots of Platos philosophy, Words & Ideas demarcates afresh Platos position regarding the protagonists of pre-Socratic philosophy: Parmenides and the Eleatics, Anaxagoras and Diogenes of Apollonia, Leucippus and Democritus, Philolaus and the Pythagoreans. This identifcation of his sources allows us, in many cases for the first time, to judge what in the arguments of the dialogues is Platos own contribution and what is there only as part of a philosophical or pre-philosophical inheritance.

New Essays on Plato assembles nine original papers on the language and thought of the Athenian philosopher. The collection encompasses issues from the Apology to the Laws and includes discussions of topics in ethics, political theory, psychology, epistemology, ontology, physics and metaphysics, and ancient literary criticism. The contributions by an international team of scholars represent a spectrum of diverse traditions and approaches, and offer new solutions to a selection of specific problems. Themes include the Happiness and Nature of the Philosopher-Kings, Law and Justice, the Tripartition of the Soul, Appearance and Belief, Conditions of Recognition, Ousia or What Something Is, the Reality of Change and Changelessness, Time and Eternity, and Aristotle on Plato.

Platos Crito examines a single moral decision, whether Socrates ought to escape from his death-cell. Stokes book discusses Socrates arguments against Critos offer of escape. It construes Socrates questions as genuine questions, which clarify and undermine Critos positions. Stokess approach avoids the documentary fallacy; it shows how Plato catered for both the novice and the experienced reader of his published works. This book offers a fresh account of Socrates whole strategy. It demonstrates both the shakiness of Socrates persuasion of the un-philosophical Crito to engage in dialectic, and the coherence of his substantive confutation. Platos reasoning emerges from Stokes study with more credit than many have given it.

Platos Timaeus contains a powerful and influential myth, of the construction of the universe by a divine craftsman. A god imposes reason on necessity, to bring order from a primeval receptacle of disordered matter. There results the child that is the cosmos - a copy of an eternally-existing perfect model. Here eight new essays from a distinguished international cast, explore aspects of this challenging work: the principles of the mythical narrative, how the world soul and human body are formed, implications for illness - mental and physical, the importance of music and harmonious proportion. Later developments are also treated: Aristotles theory of generation, the commentary of Proclus and elements of modern evolutionary theory.
