Review: desertcart is selling two different books under the same title. Watchout which on you pick. - The $6.99 black paperback edition with a scroll on the cover has no notes, no introduction, no publisher and no names of the translators, who happen to be J. A. Smith for “On the Soul” and J. I. Beare for “Memory & Reminiscence” (original title). This book deserves but one star. The more expensive paperback & hardcover edition has a Japanese macaque monkey on the cover (see other “formats & editions” link). The translation by Joe Sacks is relatively new (2001). These copies contain his bibliographic notes, an index, glossary and a very interesting 40 page introduction. This book deserves five stars. Joe Sacks’ translation differs from others in several key words. For example, the Greek word “ousia” is often “substance” or “existence”, but Sacks renders it as “thinghood”. The Greek word “energeia”, commonly translated as “actuality”, is given as “being-at-work”; likewise, the Greek “eidos” or “morphe” (form, shape) is also given as “being-at-work”. Sacks does explain his justification in each case.
Review: The Soul Lives On.... - An in-depth review of the soul and the body, and their relationship with each other, as well as how they operate individually. Very deep, and comforting for the person who lost a loved one and is hopeful that the soul indeed exists beyond the physical life. Purchased this for my daughter's Philosophy class at Boston College, but enjoyed reading for myself.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ readable well laid out
*by S***E on June 30, 2013*

The introduction and notes are extremely helpful. We have been reading it in a small book group and we've found that our difficulties are with the text not the translation which is refreshing. I would highly recommend it and I'm looking forward to reading Mr.Sachs translation of the Nicomachean Ethics.
