{"product_id":"9780674994416","title":"On Sophistical Refutations. On Coming-To-Be and Passing Away. On the Cosmos by E.S. Forster","description":"Fallacies, contraries, consistencies.   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":56294358483317,"sku":"9780674994416","price":24.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780674994416.jpg?v=1762763216","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780674994416","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
