Trade Paperback. Condition: Fine. Reprint. Reprint. Brand new from publisher. An excellent copy. 2004 Trade Paperback. lxiii, 329 pp. Previously published as Ethics, Aristotle's The Nicomachean Ethics addresses the question of how to live well and originates the concept of cultivating a virtuous character as the basis of his ethical system. Here Aristotle sets out to examine the nature of happiness, and argues that happiness consists in 'activity of the soul in accordance with virtue', including moral virtues, such as courage, generosity and justice, and intellectual virtues, such as knowledge, wisdom and insight. The Ethics also discusses the nature of practical reasoning, the value and the objects of pleasure, the different forms of friendship, and the relationship between individual virtue, society and the State. Aristotle's work has had a profound and lasting influence on all subsequent Western thought about ethical matters. This Penguin Classics edition is translated from the Greek by J.A.K. Thomson with revisions and notes by Hugh Tredennick, and an introduction and bibliography by Jonathan Barnes.…

Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Cambridge Univ. Press (and simultaneously with a Parisian publisher), 1982. Scholarly hardcover, 9-1/4 inches tall, xxvii + 351 pages including indexes and glossary, illustrated with a few figures, no dust jacket. This copy in good or better condition. It is an ex-college library book, but it looks only lightly used. Text is clean and free of markings such as underlining and marginal notes. No stains or tears. Firm binding, no loose pages. Again, book has hardly any wear. It is in a way a companion volume to Doubt and Dogmatism (on the epistemology of the Hellenistic schools), for the papers in this book were delivered at a conference in Paris following up an earlier conference at Oxford [proceedings published as Doubt and Dogmatism]. Doubt and Dogmatism is something of a classic work on epistemology, especially skepticism. But this book focuses more on science. More info/photo on request.…

Cloth. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. translated by Jonathan Barnes, Susanne Bobzien, Kevin Flannery, S.J. and Katerina Ierodiakonou. Alexander of Aphrodisias, who flourished c. 200 AD, was the leading Peripatetic philosopher of his age. Most of his philosophical energies were spent in commenting upon Aristotle: his commentary on the Prior Analytics remains one of the most thorough and helpful guides to this difficult work; in addi6tion, the commentary preserves invaluable information about various aspects of Stoic logic, and it also presents a picture of categorical syllogistic at a turning point in its historical development. This volume contains a translation of the first third of the commentary - the part dealing with non-modal syllogistic. The translation is preceded by a substantial introduction which discusses Alexander's place in the commentatorial tradition and his use of logical terminology. The book is completed by a translation of the pertinent part of the Prior Analytics, a summary account of categorical syllogistic, and a set of indexes. 252 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…
