Customer Reviews
Brilliant and essential by one of the world`s greatest ever thinkers - Rated A good cheap and decent translation from Penguin. Ignore the 1 star. I`m writing to give it a 5. How dare he. One of the essential 25 texts of Philosophy and pre me writing it scores a 3. Pure essential Aristotle. This and his Ethics are core to Western Civilisation and Philosophy as we know it. From the man who gave us the term Metaphysics. Here`s the first real thoughts of the subject. Bad translation - Rated I bought this, but will toss it in the trash as soon as I find a better translation. Billed as a "new" translation, here is a sample: "But science and art result unto men by means of experience; for experience,indeed, as Polus saith, has produced art, but inexperience chance." "unto" "saith"??? does that sound like a new translation to you? If it really is new, the translator can't write worth beans. Aristotle is transcendently clear, not muddy. The Modern Library Introduction to Aristotle has a much better translation, but only reprints excerpts. I'm still looking for an good edition that is both affordable and complete. An essential part of any study of philosophy, - Rated Aristotle's Metaphysics cannot be underestimated as a fundamental in Western thought. While sometimes a plodding read (compared to Plato's Dialogues), the substance of Aristotle's work is far more rewarding to the serious reader. This book is an required component of any collection on philosophy.
