Complete Works of Aristotle, Volume 1: The Revised Oxford Translation

I like to go straight to the source. Aristotle establishes a way to figure out the truth. Very well structured giving examples on how to communicate and figure it if a thesis is flawed. Some of the stuff such as Histories of Animals is boring but it is the first practical observations of the real world. Sophitical Refutations is the most beneficial book.

Amazing

Direto ao ponto. Na avaliação do tomo II eu deixei meus comentários a respeito da obra. Aqui eu deixo a foto do sumário para quem tem interesse em saber quais obras estão nesse tomo I. De resto, apesar da Amazon do exterior enviar os livros de qualquer forma numa caixa de má qualidade, graças a Deus chegou em bom estado sem avarias. Mas quem for comprar aqui no Brasil tenha em mente que pode acontecer de vir algum dano, a embalagem não é tão boa. Seja como for, recomendo fortemente a obra.

Excelente tradução, mesmo não sendo bilíngue. Há várias remissões a outras traduções, inclusive à clássica de Sir David Ross. Vale a pena.

I studied philosophy in a French speaking Institute in Europe. These two volumes came in very handy. The first question that may come to mind for those shopping for Aristotle is whether it's necessary to purchase the "Complete Works" and not just a volume of Major Works. In fact, it's not necessary- you'll get so much enrichment from even one major work of The Philosopher, especially with the aid of a competent professor. However, the complete works will ensure you that you have everything, and provide a good deal more reading enjoyment (even Aristotle's final will and testament is printed in Vol. II). Aside from that, the translations contained in these works are considered the best available in English (and perhaps any) language other than the original Greek. To testify to this fact, some of my native French professors would occassionally ask to borrow my volumes to make photocopies of certain passages (or more), telling me that they felt the English translations were far better done than those in their native tounge! (And we know how much the French care for their native tounge!) All in all, excellent books and money well spent.
