{"product_id":"posterior-analytics-topica","title":"Posterior Analytics. Topica","description":"The philosopher’s toolkit.\n\nAristotle, great Greek philosopher, researcher, reasoner, and writer, born at Stagirus in 384 BC, was the son of a physician. He studied under Plato at Athens and taught there (367–347); subsequently he spent three years at the court of a former pupil in Asia Minor. After some time at Mitylene, in 343–342 he was appointed by King Philip of Macedon to be tutor of his teen-aged son Alexander. After Philip’s death in 336, Aristotle became head of his own school (of “Peripatetics”), the Lyceum at Athens. Because of anti-Macedonian feeling there after Alexander’s death in 323, he withdrew to Chalcis in Euboea, where he died in 322.\n\nNearly all the works Aristotle prepared for publication are lost; the priceless ones extant are lecture-materials, notes, and memoranda (some are spurious). They can be categorized as follows:\n\nI Practical: Nicomachean Ethics; Great Ethics (Magna Moralia); Eudemian Ethics; Politics; Economics (on the good of the family); On Virtues and Vices.\nII Logical: Categories; Analytics (Prior and Posterior); Interpretation; Refutations used by Sophists; Topica.\nIII Physical: Twenty-six works (some suspect) including astronomy, generation and destruction, the senses, memory, sleep, dreams, life, facts about animals, etc.\nIV Metaphysics: on being as being.\nV Art: Rhetoric and Poetics.\nVI Other works including the Constitution of Athens; more works also of doubtful authorship.\nVII Fragments of various works such as dialogues on philosophy and literature; and of treatises on rhetoric, politics, and metaphysics.\n\nThe Loeb Classical Library edition of Aristotle is in twenty-three volumes.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0674994302\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.0674994302.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Aristotle|Forster, E.
