{"product_id":"aristotle-on-the-soul-parva-naturalia-on-breath-9780674993181","title":"On the Soul. Parva Naturalia. On Breath","description":"Aristotle, great Greek philosopher, researcher, reasoner, and writer, born at Stagirus in 384 BC, was the son of Nicomachus, a physician, and Phaestis. He studied under Plato at Athens and taught there (367- 347); subsequently he spent three years at the court of a former pupil, Hermeias, in Asia Minor and at this time married Pythias, one of Hermeias' relations. After some time at Mitylene, in 343- 2 he was appointed by King Philip of Macedon to be tutor of his teen-aged son Alexander. After Philip's death in 336, Aristotle became head of his own school (of 'Peripatetics'), the Lyceum at Athens. Because of anti-Macedonian feeling there after Alexander's death in 323, he withdrew to Chalcis in Euboea, where he died in 322. Nearly all the works Aristotle prepared for publication are lost; the priceless ones extant are lecture-materials, notes, and memoranda (some are spurious). They can be categorized as follows: I \"Practical\": Nicomachean Ethics; Great Ethics (Magna Moralia); Eudemian Ethics; Politics; Economics (on the good of the family); On Virtues and Vices. II \"Logical\": Categories; Analytics (Prior and Posterior); Interpretation; Refutations used by Sophists; Topica. III \"Physical\": Twenty-six works (some suspect) including astronomy, generation and destruction, the senses, memory, sleep, dreams, life, facts about animals, etc. IV \"Metaphysics\": on being as being. V \"Art\": Rhetoric and Poetics. VI Other works including the Constitution of Athens; more works also of doubtful authorship. VII Fragments of various works such as dialogues on philosophy and literature; and of treatises on rhetoric, politics and metaphysics. The Loeb Classical Library edition ofAristotle is in twenty-three volumes.","brand":"Harvard University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54009317556566,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780674993181_1_e2234d1e-2d63-4f2d-9bc6-1d5458c1b367.jpg?v=1781892566","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/aristotle-on-the-soul-parva-naturalia-on-breath-9780674993181","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
