Aristotle on the Constitution of Athens. Athenaion Politeia. Third and Revised Edition. Oxford: Clarendon Press 1892. Octavo. 9" x 6". lxvii 229 pp. Reprint The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. 2003. ISBN-13: 9781584772613. Attractive smyth sewn gray cloth with blue and gilt stamped spine and front cover. New. $49.95 Reprint of the third revised and expanded edition. This exceptional volume presents the foundational text of the Athenaion Politeia in its original Greek compiled alongside fragmentary passages and relevant excerpts from the Politics. Sir Frederic G. Kenyon provides thorough textual annotations critical apparatus and an extensive introduction in English. This edition is of monumental historical and bibliographical significance representing the rapid textual evolution that followed one of the greatest archaeological sensations of the nineteenth century. The text of the Constitution of Athens was entirely lost to the modern world for over a millennium until Kenyon famously identified it on an Egyptian papyrus acquired by the British Museum from a cache in Hermopolis publishing the edition princeps in 1891. His initial transcription sparked fierce debate and intense scrutiny among global classicists. This third edition issued just one year later captures that immediate burst of international classical scholarship incorporating the corrections and readings that established the definitive baseline for modern understanding of Athenian constitutional history ancient law and the origins of democracy. unknown books

1989rif. S12066Ithaca NY:: Cornell University Press 1989. 1989. Series: Ancient Commentators on Aristotle. 8vo. 240 pp. Navy cloth gilt-stamped spine title dust jacket. Ink ownership signature on ffep. Fine. Translation of Alexander of Aphrodisias' Hypommnema eis to meizon . . . "In Alexander's metaphysical writings including his commentaries we find some of the major points of ancient discussion concerning the core not so much of metaphysics but of Aristotelian metaphysics. At times Alexander seems most focused on criticizing contemporaries from an Aristotelian perspective and at times instead to defend Aristotelianism by elaborating in original ways that address possible criticisms." / "As an example of the second apologetic feature: in his commentary on the Metaphysics we find an elaboration of the question whether metaphysics can be a demonstrative science. Alexander makes an effort to show that it is in fact a demonstrative science in the sense of Aristotle's Posterior Analytics i.e. with its own genus or subject matter axioms and derived theorems. As part of this effort he understands the subject matter of metaphysics being qua being as referring to all beings insofar as they are existent Bonelli 2001. He also reshapes the concept of common notions in such a way that in metaphysics common notions may serve as axioms i.e. provide its fundamental principles. Common notions which started out in Aristotle and later the Stoics as shared starting points for inquiry and argument are expanded by Alexander to incorporate features of dialectical starting points points about which there is general agreement and scientific axioms. They are not innate but immediately evident to everyone and serve as indemonstrable starting points for scientific knowledge — the prime example for metaphysics being the principle of non-contradiction de Haas 2021." / Frede Dorothea and Marije Martijn "Alexander of Aphrodisias" The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy Summer 2024 Edition. FROM THE CONTENTS: "In the first two chapters of Metaphysics 1 Aristotle asks what is philosophy and in particular philosophical wisdom sophia and how is it related to philosophy He answers that it is a knowledge of causes or rather of explanations including God who is a cause or explanation in one of the few distinguishable ways. The remaining eight chapters examine the account given of cause or explanation by his predecessors." / "Alexander of Aphrodisias was the greatest expositor and elabor ator of Aristotle's philosophy. But his commentary on this book has a curious feature: over half is devoted to the two chapters in which Aristotle discusses Plato. From this we learn not only about Alex ander but also far more than we could from Aristotle's text itself about Aristotle Plato and Plato's Academy. Aristotle's battery of objections against the theory of Ideas is spelled out with fragmen tary quotations and paraphrases from four of his lost works On the Ideas On the Good On Philosophy and On the Pythagoreans. There is an expanded account of the 'unwritten doctrines' which Plato developed late in his career according to which the Ideas are numbers namely the One and the Indefinite Dyad." / editors.

1972rif. S10669Ann Arbor MI:: University Microfilms 1972. 1972. 8vo. ii 154 pp. Paper wrappers printed paper label. Fine. University Microfilms reprint. "In the long process of assimilation into Latin of the Greek and Arabic corpus of natural philosophy there was a constant tendency for earlier material to be incorporated into later and thus lose its identity. But the earlier works often persisted even though in disguised form and constituted a permanent element of our intellectual heritage. Sometimes modern scholarship has been able to rescue an earlier author from anonymity and to delineate his significance in the growth of Western thought. One such author is Alfred of Sareshel also known as Alfredus Anglicus. The rediscovery of Alfred has been the work of many scholars whose writings have shown Alfred to have been a translator from the Arabic a commentator on Aristotle's natural philosophy and the author of a treatise DE MOTU CORDIS which was incorporated into the curricula of many universities in the thirteenth century. Alfred also emerges as one of the most important and oldest witnesses for the reception of the natural philosophy of Aristotle and for the oldest Greek-La tin translations. He has been called by D. A. Callus "a forerunner of the great commentators" and CI. Baeumker asserts that his knowledge of Aristotle is unmatched by any schoolman of the early thirteenth century. The purpose of this paper is to show Alfred's role in the reacquisition of Aristotle's natural philosophy by examining his commentary on Aristotle's METHEORA to show specifically the sources for Alfred's commentary Latin Greek Arabic; and to indicate how he employed them." / Otte.

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.
