Aristotle

Aristotle addresses the city in his work titled Politics, viewing the city to be a natural community. Moreover, he considers the city to precede the family which in turn precedes the individual. He also famously states that man is by nature a political animal, arguing that humanity's defining factor among others in the animal kingdom is its rationality.In the end of the Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle declared that the inquiry into ethics necessarily follows into politics, and the two works are frequently considered to be parts of a larger treatise dealing with the philosophy of human affairs. Politics is divided into eight books. The books focus on the political community, different types of regimes, citizenship, the structure of political power, constitutional governance, revolutions, family life, and education.This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.

还有另一种艺术是仅靠语言来模仿的，无论是散文还是经文-再次是经文，可以组合不同的计量表，也可以只包含一种形式-但这迄今还没有名称。因为没有一个通用的术语，我们一方面可以适用于 和 的哑剧以及苏格拉底式的对话。另一方面，是模仿依比克，挽歌或任何类似形式的诗意模仿。实际上，人们确实在米的名称上加上了"造者"或"诗人"一词，并谈到了挽歌诗人或史诗（即六边形）诗人，就好像不是模仿诗人一样，但是赋予他们全部名字的诗句却毫无区别。即使以诗歌形式发表医学或自然科学论文，诗人的名字也是习以为常的。但是荷马和恩佩多克尔斯除了米之外别无其他，因此称呼一位诗人，另一位物理学家而不是诗人是正确的。按照同样的原则，即使作家在模仿诗歌的过程中像米勒-查里蒙在他的《半人马座》（这是一个由各种各样的乐器组成的混合曲谱）中所做的那样，将所有米合在一起，我们也应该把他也归为诗人。这些区别就这么多了。

The Athenian Constitution describes the political system of ancient Athens. The work consists of two parts. The first part, from Chapter 1 to Chapter 41, deals with the different forms of the constitution, from the trial of the Alcmaeonidae until 403 BC. The second part describes the city's institutions, including the terms of access to citizenship, magistrates, and the courts.This Aristotelian text is unique because it is not a part of the Corpus Aristotelicum, the collection of Aristotle's works. It was lost until two leaves of a papyrus codex carrying part of the text were discovered in Oxyrhynchus, Egypt in 1879. There is a lot of debate about whether or not Aristotle is the true author of The Athenian Constitution. Some believe it may have been written by one of Aristotle's students.

Aristotle's Rhetoric is an ancient Greek treatise on the art of persuasion, dating from the 4th century BC. In Greek, it is titled ΤΕΧΝΗ ΡΗΤΟΡΙΚΗ, in Latin Ars Rhetorica. In English, its title varies: typically it is titled Rhetoric, the Art of Rhetoric, or a Treatise on Rhetoric.Aristotle is generally credited with developing the basics of the system of rhetoric that "thereafter served as its touchstone", influencing the development of rhetorical theory from ancient through modern times. The Rhetoric is regarded by most rhetoricians as "the most important single work on persuasion ever written." Gross & Walzer concur, indicating that, just as Whitehead considered all Western philosophy a footnote to Plato, "all subsequent rhetorical theory is but a series of responses to issues raised" by Aristotle's Rhetoric. This is largely a reflection of disciplinary divisions, dating back to Peter Ramus's attacks on Aristotlean rhetoric in the late 16th century and continuing to the present.( wikipedia.org)

The Nicomachean Ethics is widely considered one of the most important philosophical works of Western Philosophy. The theme of the work is a Socratic question previously explored in the works of Plato, Aristotle's friend and teacher, of how men should best live. The Nicomachean Ethics had a crucial impact upon the European Middle Ages, becoming one of the core works of medieval philosophy. It therefore indirectly became critical in the development of all modern philosophy as well as European law and theology.

Poetics is one of Aristotle's greatest works; the philosopher's grand and insightful essay on art and its purposes. Why must a story have a beginning, a middle, and an end? How can we define tragedy, and what is the artistic purpose of it? Is there one "ideal" kind of drama? What is the nature of poetry? How consciously should poets and playwrights construct their work? All these questions, and others, are discussed and debated in this, perhaps the single most significant text in Western critical tradition. Writers, actors, students of literature, and armchair philosophers will find it a challenging―and rewarding―read.
