On Breath","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAristotle, the great Greek philosopher, researcher, reasoner, and writer, was born at Stagirus in 384 BCE. He was the son of Nicomachus, a physician, and Phaestis. He studied under Plato at Athens and taught there from 367 to 347 BCE. Subsequently, he spent three years at the court of a former pupil, Hermeias, in Asia Minor, and during this time married Pythias, one of Hermeias's relations. After some time at Mitylene, in 343-2 BCE, he was appointed by King Philip of Macedon to be the tutor of his teenage son Alexander.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter Philip's death in 336 BCE, Aristotle became head of his own school, the Lyceum at Athens, known as the \"Peripatetics.\" Due to anti-Macedonian sentiment following Alexander's death in 323 BCE, he withdrew to Chalcis in Euboea, where he died in 322 BCE. Nearly all the works Aristotle prepared for publication are lost; the priceless ones extant are lecture-materials, notes, and memoranda (though some are spurious).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey can be categorised as follows:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePractical: \u003ci\u003eNicomachean Ethics\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eGreat Ethics\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eMagna Moralia\u003c\/i\u003e); \u003ci\u003eEudemian Ethics\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003ePolitics\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eOeconomica\u003c\/i\u003e (on the good of the family); \u003ci\u003eVirtues and Vices\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLogical: \u003ci\u003eCategories\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eOn Interpretation\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eAnalytics\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003ePrior\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePosterior\u003c\/i\u003e); \u003ci\u003eOn Sophistical Refutations\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eTopica\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePhysical: Twenty-six works (some suspect) including astronomy, generation and destruction, the senses, memory, sleep, dreams, life, facts about animals, etc.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eMetaphysics\u003c\/i\u003e: on being as being.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOn Art: \u003ci\u003eArt of Rhetoric\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePoetics\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOther works including the \u003ci\u003eAthenian Constitution\u003c\/i\u003e; more works also of doubtful authorship.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFragments of various works such as dialogues on philosophy and literature; and of treatises on rhetoric, politics, and metaphysics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Loeb Classical Library edition of Aristotle is in twenty-three volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47932355674348,"sku":"9780674993181","price":94.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780674993181-on-the-soul-parva-naturalia-on-breath.jpg?v=1783860777","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/on-the-soul-parva-naturalia-on-breath-by-aristotle-9780674993181","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
