1543 1^ed Aristotle Politics & Nichomachean Ethics Philosophy Aretino Commentary

 

“It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.”

― Aristotle

 

Aristotle was an ancient Greek philosopher and scientist who is regularly considered the ‘Father of Western Philosophy.’ His extensive writings cover a variety of topics from physics and zoology to metaphysics and psychology.

 

One of Aristotle’s most important works philosophical works was ‘Politics’, a work in which the activities of the city and how the acts of man determine the successes of a city. He covers citizenship, slavery, political virtues, types of governing bodies, constitutional drafting, and most importantly the ideal state of a city. Another of Aristotle’s important works was his ‘Nichomachean Ethics’ – a work illustrating the foundations of Aristotelian ethics.

 

Both ‘Politics’ and ‘Nichomachean Ethics’ are found in this incredibly rare 16^th-century edition. It was published by Girolamo Scoto with commentary and notes by Leonardo Aretino and Raffaele Maffei.
