Aristotle's most significant writings come together in one accessible collection. Editor Justin Kaplan draws from the respected Oxford translations by scholars W.D. Ross, Benjamin Jowett, and Ingram Bywater to present the philosopher's widely studied and quoted works. Each selection includes informative notes that provide readers with clear, concise explanations of the main concepts. The volume makes Aristotle's ideas available to modern readers without requiring extensive philosophical background. Kaplan's careful curation focuses on the texts that have shaped Western thought for over two millennia. The collection serves as a practical introduction to the thinker whose influence spans ethics, politics, science, and logic.
