    The "Nicomachean Ethics" is one of Aristotle's most widely read and influential works. Drawing on their intimate knowledge of Aristotle's thought, the authors have produced an English-language translation of the "Ethics" that is as faithful to the original as it is graceful in its rendering.

    A penetrating account of Greek tragedy, it demonstrates how the elements of plot, character and spectacle combine to produce 'pity and fear' - and why we derive pleasure from this apparently painful process. It introduces the crucial concepts of mimesis ('imitation'), hamartia ('error') and katharsis, which have informed serious thinking about drama ever since. It examines the mythological heroes, idealised yet true to life, whom Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides brought on to the stage. And it explains how the most effective plays rely on complication and resolution, recognitions and reversals. Essential reading for all students of Greek literature, the Poetics remains equally stimulating for anyone interested in theatre today.

    HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.Despite dating from the 4th century BC, The Art of Rhetoric continues to be regarded by many as the single most important work on the art of persuasion. As democracy began emerging in 5th-century Athens, public speaking and debate became an increasingly important tool to garner influence in the assemblies, councils, and law courts of ancient Greece. In response to this, both politicians and ordinary citizens became desperate to learn greater skills in this area, as well as the philosophy behind it. This treatise was one of the first to provide just that, establishing methods and observations of informal reasoning and style, and has continued to be hugely influential on public speaking and philosophy today.Aristotle, the grandfather of philosophy, student of Plato, and teacher of Alexander the Great, was one of the first people to create a comprehensive system of philosophy, encompassing logic, morality, aesthetics, politics, ethics, and science. Although written over 2,000 years ago, The Art of Rhetoric remains a comprehensive introduction for philosophy students into the subject of rhetoric, as well as a useful manual for anyone today looking to improve their oratory skills of persuasion.

    The Metaphysics presents Aristotle's mature rejection of both the Platonic theory that what we perceive is just a pale reflection of reality and the hardheaded view that all processes are ultimately material. He argued instead that the reality or substance of things lies in their concrete forms, and in so doing he probed some of the deepest questions of philosophy: What is existence? How is change possible? And are there certain things that must exist for anything else to exist at all? The seminal notions discussed in The Metaphysics - of 'substance' and associated concepts of matter and form, essence and accident, potentiality and actuality - have had a profound and enduring influence, and laid the foundations for one of the central branches of Western philosophy.

    "The Poetics of Aristotle" by Aristotle, an ancient Greek philosopher, is a seminal work in the realm of literary theory and aesthetics. Written around 335 BCE, this treatise offers profound insights into the nature and principles of poetry and drama. Aristotle explores the concept of mimesis, asserting that art imitates life. He delves into the cathartic effect of tragedy, suggesting that it purges emotions like pity and fear from the audience. He dissects the essential elements of a compelling narrative, emphasizing plot structure with a well-defined beginning, middle, and end. Aristotle's discussion of character is central to "The Poetics." He introduces the notion of a tragic flaw, or hamartia, which leads to a character's downfall. His analysis of language, diction, rhythm, and melody underscores their significance in poetic works. "The Poetics" is particularly renowned for its examination of tragedy. Aristotle outlines key elements, including peripeteia (a reversal of fortune) and anagnorisis (a moment of recognition), which are fundamental to tragic storytelling. This work's enduring impact on literature, theater, and aesthetics is undeniable. It has served as a foundational text for generations of writers, playwrights, and scholars, providing invaluable guidance in the craft of storytelling and dramatic performance.

    "The Categories" is a foundational work in philosophy by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle. This collection of stories authored by "Aristotle" seeks to gather many of his Nonfiction, history, Classics concepts into a single draft and provide them at an inexpensive price so that everyone can read them. Some stories are fascinating and fantastic, while others sneak up on you and draw you in. This 4th century BCE work is a foundational examination of ontology-the study of the nature of being and existence. Aristotle's "Categories" is a brief treatise divided into short chapters, and "categories," each of which addresses a distinct aspect of how language and mind categorize and describe reality. The book opens with a consideration of substance, highlighting the central importance of particular beings or substances in our conceptual framework. Aristotle divides substances into two categories: substances in and of themselves (particulars) and characteristics or qualities (universals). The story has so many twists and turns that can engage a reader. Some stories are gruesome and bizarre, while others softly creep up on you and pull you in. This book additionally dives into other categories, like quantity, relation, place and time, and other one action, to explain how these ideas impact our view of the world. Aristotle also investigates the concepts of potentiality and actuality, which serve as the foundation for his metaphysical theories.

    In ancient Greece, Aristotle's key work "Politics: A Treatise on Government" was written. This timeless classic from the fourth century BCE is an in-depth exploration of human nature, business, and values of governing. Aristotle's "Politics" is divided into eight volumes, each addressing various aspects of political philosophy and practice. He begins by considering the nature of the state and the purpose of political organizations, claiming that the state exists to promote the common good and human flourishing. Throughout the work, Aristotle delves into topics that include ideal forms of governance, citizenship, justice, and the role of law. He categorizes and evaluates several types of constitutions, such as monarchy, aristocracy, and the rule of law. A key theme in "Politics" is the concept of "best" or "virtuous" government, which Aristotle defines as a composite constitution that combines elements of monarchy, aristocracy, and democracy. This version of "Politics A Treatise on Government" is both modern and legible, with an eye-catching new cover and professionally typeset manuscript.

    Greek philosopher and Plato disciple Aristotle (384-322 BCE) radically altered the direction of Western philosophy. He is remembered as one of the greatest philosophers in history. The Roman statesman and philosopher Cicero once referred to his writing style as "a river of gold," and because of the breadth of his ideas and their subsequent impact on the study of science, logic, philosophical argument, and theology, many people have come to refer to him as "The Philosopher."
