Volume two of the acclaimed Oxford translation of Aristotle’s works—now fully revised and expanded Originally published in twelve volumes between 1912 and 1954, the Oxford translation of Aristotle is universally recognized as the standard English version of the great philosopher’s works. This revised edition has been fully updated in the light of modern scholarship while remaining faithful to the substance and vibrancy of the original translation. Now available in two volumes with three new translations and an enlarged selection of Fragments, The Complete Works of Aristotle makes the surviving writings of Aristotle readily accessible to a new generation of English-speaking readers. Review: Classical Greek Education - This is a review of a lot of my education. Rhetoric to Alexander is an interesting twist. Aristotle talks about excellence but gives very practical advise to Alexander the Great. The Constitution of Athens is a empirical review of application of government. This is educational textbook, so not that fun. Fragments is a tease. I really want to read the opinions of other people. The discussion of ideas is the fun part. I hope some finds Aristotle's treatise on Pythagorean philosophy. Review: Aristotle - There is a lot written about Aristotle. And here is my contribution in an desertcart review.

Classical Greek Education
This is a review of a lot of my education. Rhetoric to Alexander is an interesting twist. Aristotle talks about excellence but gives very practical advise to Alexander the Great. The Constitution of Athens is a empirical review of application of government. This is educational textbook, so not that fun. Fragments is a tease. I really want to read the opinions of other people. The discussion of ideas is the fun part. I hope some finds Aristotle's treatise on Pythagorean philosophy.

A lot of boring stuff, but a lot of really necessary stuff to improve life and work.
It's Aristotle. Full of basic stuff everyone should know. Eudemian Ethics, On Virtues and Vices, Politics, Economics, Rhetoric, Rhetoric to Alexander, Poetics, Constition of Athens, and more. All things that can be beneficial for a lot of career types. He's my favorite of the great Greek philosophers.

Pristine Condition
I can't comment on the quality of the translation as I am only a retired 70 year old taking advantage of retirement to take a stab at self-education. What I can say, however, is that the book arrived in pristine condition, probably just as it left the printer.

Namaste
Makes for a great pair of yoga blocks when combined with volume 1.

Read: The Constitution of Athens
This book is full of KNOWLEDGE as well as Volume one. I highly recommend both.

Love it.
Can't have volume 1 without volume 2! Whenever I cite Thomas Aquinas in a paper, Aristotle is cited just as much. I've heard some professors gripe a bit about this translation not being the best, but the translations are accurate (which matters most). Plus, you can't beat having half of the compendium in one volume.

An Essential Collection
Aristotle is one of the most influential figures in human history. His philosophical works, which is far from the total sum of his academic achievements, have served as a foundation for philosophy for over two millennia. Now, these works have been translated and collated into two manageable volumes. I would recommend this as an essential collection for any philosophy student, especially those with an interest in ancient philosophy.
