Aristotle, along with Plato and Socrates, are considered to be the most influential ancient Greek philosophers. Aristotle, a student of Plato and a teacher to Alexander the Great, also drove the dogmatics of the Middle Ages which continue to plague the world today.

• ARISTOTLE BOOKS

The Basic Works of Aristotle -Preserved by Arabic mathematicians and canonized by Christian scholars, Aristotle's works have shaped Western thought, science and religion for nearly two thousand years. This edition includes selections from the Organon, On the Heavens, the Short Physical Treatises, Rhetoric, On the Soul, On Generations and Corruption, Physics, Metaphysics, Nicomachean Ethics, Politics, and Poetics.

The Nicomachean Ethics - revised translation of Aristotle's classic treatise contains ten books based on the famous doctrine of the golden mean which advocates taking the middle course between excess and deficiency. Topics that Aristotle treats include the good for humanity, moral virtue, intellectual virtue, pleasure, friendship, and happiness. (book description)

The Metaphysics, Aristotle - Is it possible to develop a comprehensive theory of reality? And, if so, how would such a reality manifest itself? These are the two broad questions that occupy Aristotle in the Metaphysics. Departing from the worldviews of his venerable mentor, Plato, in which spatio-temporal objects and their relations reflect or participate to a greater or lesser degree in the eternal Ideas or Forms that establish the basic structures of the real world, Aristotle argues that sense experience serves as the foundation for establishing the nature of what is real. In describing and explaining his view of reality, Aristotle discusses concepts that have remained the staples of metaphysiclal theory throughout the ages: particulars and universals (matter and form), actuality and potentiality (being and becoming), change and the immutable (man and God).

The Politics of Aristotle - "How can men best live together?"
Aristotle's thorough and carefully argued analysis is based on a study of over 150 city constitutions, covering a huge range of political issues in order to establish which types of consitution are best - both ideally and in particular circumstances - and how they may be maintained.
Like his predecessor Plato, Aristotle believed that the ideal constitution should be good in itself and in accordance with nature, and that it is needed by man - 'a political animal' - to fulfil his portential. His opinions form an essential background to the thinking of philosophers such as Thomas Aquinas, Machiavelli, Jean Bodin and Richard Hooker. Both his premises and his arguements raise questions that are as relevant to modern society ans they were to the ancient world. (based on back cover)
