The Works of Aristotle: Select Fragments (Vol.12th) [Hardcover] [Jan 01, 2017] Sir David Ross

The Works of Aristotle: Select Fragments Volume 12th [Hardcover]

Hardcover. Condición: New. Language: English. ABOUT THE BOOK: The Oxford translation of Aristotle work was originally published in 12 volumes between 1912 and 1954. It seems probable that Aristotle began with short dialogues called (On the Platonic model) by one word names (three of which are actually identical with the names of Platonic dialogues), that from these he proceeded to works which were still dialogues but began to have something of the character of treatise and are therefore designated as 'On' soand so, and later still went on to the large works containing more than one book. Before we make any further attempt to date the dialogues, it is necessary to have in mind the various periods of Aristotle life. From his eighteenth year to his thirty seven (367348) B.C., he was a member of the school of Plato at Athens. The next five years he spent partly at Assos in Mysia, and partly in Mitylene, in Lesbos. From 343 to about 340 he was in Macedonea, tutoring Alexander the Great. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Sir David Ross (18771971) made significant contributions to the translation and interpretation of the works of Aristotle and to moral philosophy. His works in ancient philosophy, especially his various commentaries on Aristotle, is still considered to be of the highest calibre. He spent the bulk of the first six years of his life in Travancore, India, where his father, John Ross, was the principal of the Maharaja's College. He served as a Vice Chancellor of Oxford from 1941 to 1944. In his retirement Ross continued his work in philosophy. He died in Oxford on 25 May 1971.
