Complete sets are of the utmost rarity; rare and desirable set of this landmark work. Aristotle's philosophical works covered an incredibly broad range of subjects including physics, biology, zoology, metaphysics, logic, ethics, rhetoric, politics and government; constituting the first comprehensive system of Western Philosophy. Through these many branches, Aristotle sought the universal; his aim was to discover the essential nature of being, becoming, existence and reality which he believed could be achieved through detailed systems of logic and classification. Aristotleâs works on natural history, particularly observations of the sea-life visible from the island of Lesbos, are some of the earliest known to have survived and include one of the earliest classification systems. Aristotleâs Metaphysics is considered to be his principal work as well as the first major work in metaphysical philosophy itself. âIt forms the highest step in Aristotleâs system, and deals with the first principles of all existence. Here he grapples with the deepest questions of philosophyâ (Peck, 130). Translated by Thomas Taylor, a leading English classicist of the day. âIn his knowledge of Plato and Aristotle he has never been equaled by any Englishman, and he is still the most important disseminator of ancient philosophy in the history of English and American literatureâ (Axon, 11).
