One of the most important philosophical works of all time, in a lively new translation by Adam Beresford.
Aristotle was born in the Macedonian city of Stagira in 384 BC, and
died in 322. He studied in Plato's Academy in Athens and later
became tutor to Alexander the Great, before establishing his own
school in Athens, called the Lyceum. His writings, which were of
extraordinary range, profoundly affected the whole course of
ancient, medieval and modern philosophy. Many of them have
survived, including The Nicomachean Ethics, The Politics and
Poetics, among others.
Adam Beresford is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the
University of Massachusetts, Boston. He has previously translated
Plato's Protagoras and Meno for Penguin Classics.
