Paperback. Condition: Gut. VIII, 114 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Knick im Cover, leicht bestoßen, Einband leicht angegilbt, kleine Verschmutzung auf Buchschnitt, Bleistifteintrag auf Vorsatz, sonst guter Zustand / crease in cover, lightly scuffed, binding slightly yellowed, small soiling on book cover, pencil entry on endpaper, otherwise good condition. - Automation is taking us back to Aristotlethat is to a society in which people (then the very few, soon the many) enjoy ample leisure. How to live the good life, how to contribute to the welfare of the community, how to promote and find happiness (indeed, what is happiness?) are accordingly questions of increasing importance, and in considering them it is illuminating to look at some of Aristotle's answers and compare them with our own. Aristotle's contribution to knowledge can be obscured by the very extent of his concerns. His thinking on education was more realistic than that of Plato, his mentor, but has been less accessible because it is scattered throughout his writings. A primary purpose of this book is therefore to bring together Aristotle's philosophy of education. Quite as valuably, Aristotle's views are here juxtaposed with modern opinions. The result is to challenge a number of contemporary beliefs that are not less open to question for being so widely received. / CONTENTS PREFACE 1 OF ARISTOTLE AND HIS PHILOSOPHY 2 THE AIMS OF EDUCATION 3 WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR EDUCATION? 4 THE PROCESS OF EDUCATION 5 THE INSTRUMENTS AND CONTENT OF EDUCATION Educational Guidance Education for Citizenship Community Service Education for Leisure Discipline Music in Education 6 ARISTOTLE ON MUSIC IN EDUCATION I The Nature of Greek Music II The Function of Music in Education The effects of music on character 7 EDUCATION FOR LEISURE EPILOGUE NOTES INDEX.

Hardback. Condition: Good. In the hallowed halls of The Library of Educational Thought, where the dust motes dance like confused philosophers, emerges a volume that promises to unravel the perplexities of life, existence, and perhaps the very structure of your coffee table. "Aristotle" by Cyril Winn and Maurice Jacks is not merely a book; it?s a time capsule from 1967, a year when men wore their hair long and their arguments longer. With a title that echoes the musings of the great philosopher himself, this tome beckons to you, the unsuspecting reader, with the gravitational pull of a black hole formed from the collective ennui of academia. Hardback with good dustcover. Has a type written letter in the inside cover along with a compliment slip from Trinity College of Music, London, thanksing someone for reviewing the book. The letter is possibly the cover letter or the review. There are a couple of lines in the book underlines in biro. Now, you might wonder, what secrets does this book hold? Is it a philosophical treatise, a step-by-step guide to achieving inner peace, or merely a collection of misprinted pages? It?s hard to say, but what we do know is that Cyril and Maurice were not your average scholars. Armed with the audacity typical of the 1960s, they delved into Aristotle?s world as though they were exploring the fringes of a psychedelic trip rather than the austere rigours of logic and ethics. Prepare yourself for a wild ride through the labyrinth of ancient philosophies, where syllogisms leap off the page as if they were auditioning for a part in a slapstick comedy. The authors might not have had Aristotle?s wit, but their attempts to interpret his thoughts are nothing if not entertaining. You could easily find yourself lost in a mirthful maze of hypotheses, historical context, and the occasional footnote that seems to be more of a personal anecdote than a scholarly reference. This book is particularly well-suited for those who find joy in the absurdity of life, or perhaps aim to impress friends with a casual mention of Aristotle while sipping tea at a local café. You can almost hear the gasps of admiration as you refer to ?this rather obscure work? in a deep, philosophical tone, while secretly wondering how many pages you can flip through before you need to fake a phone call. It?s the perfect companion for existential crises or for those moments when you wish to feel intellectually superior while still being comfortably ensconced in your armchair. But what exactly can you expect from this delightful artefact of 1960s academia? Here?s a brief overview of its offerings: A loose interpretation of Aristotle?s theories that might leave you questioning who really was the master of logic. A charming collection of outdated illustrations, because every philosophical discussion deserves a dash of kitsch. Footnotes that may or may not include references to popular culture from the year 1967, which could be quite enlightening?or entirely baffling. An index that is as unfocused as a student cramming for finals. Random musings from Cyril and Maurice that could have been deep thoughts or just the result of too much tea. Condition: Good. This book has seen a few years and perhaps a few too many philosophical debates over tea, but it remains sturdy enough to withstand the weight of your existential dread. The covers show signs of enthusiastic handling, and the pages have a slight yellowing that could be mistaken for ancient parchment, or just a sign that it?s been around the block a few times. Expect a few dog-eared pages and the occasional margin note that may or may not reveal the previous owner?s take on the meaning of life. So, if you are in the market for a book that straddles the line between profundity and perplexity, or if you just want to claim you?ve read Aristotle without the hassle of actually deciphering his originals, then look no further. Join the ranks of those who have embraced the quirky charm of ?Aristotle? by Cyril Winn and Maurice Jacks, av.…
