The Philosophy of Aristotle (Signet Classics)

How is the mind related to the body? To what end is human life to be directed? What is the place of the individual in human society? What are the ultimate categories of thought and the basic constituents of the universe? More than two thousand years ago, Aristotle's investigation into these questions established unique standards of philosophic inquiry, observation, and judgement. This book offers a selection and a contemporary re-evaluation of the philosophy of the master of Western thought, and shows his vital, continuing influence in our modern world.
