{"product_id":"9780674993594","title":"Categories. On Interpretation. Prior Analytics by Harold Percy Cooke","description":"The philosopher's toolkit.   Aristotle,  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.   Nearly  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:I Practical:   Nicomachean Ethics; Great Ethics (Magna Moralia); Eudemian Ethics;   Politics; Economics (on the good of the family); On Virtues and Vices.   II Logical: Categories; Analytics (Prior and Posterior); Interpretation; Refutations used by Sophists; Topica.   III Physical:   Twenty-six works (some suspect) including astronomy, generation and   destruction, the senses, memory, sleep, dreams, life, facts about   animals, etc.   IV Metaphysics: on being as being.   V Art: Rhetoric and Poetics.   VI Other works including the Constitution of Athens; more works also of doubtful authorship.   VII   Fragments of various works such as dialogues on philosophy and   literature; and of treatises on rhetoric, politics, and metaphysics.   The Loeb Classical Library edition of Aristotle is in twenty-three volumes.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56293068341621,"sku":"9780674993594","price":24.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780674993594.jpg?v=1762754545","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780674993594","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
