In this extraordinary volume of selections from Aristotle—culled from the monumental Oxford translation by authorities including W.D. Ross, Benjamin Jowett, and Ingram Bywater—editor Justin D. Kaplan has included the most widely read, studied, and quoted works of the great philosopher.

Informative notes give the reader a convenient and concise review of each work, illuminating the main ideas. Thoughtfully assembled, The Pocket Aristotle is the essential guide to the man who has often been called the world’s most important thinker.

"Aristotle's creation of a new discipline of thought and his firm establishment of its essential lines remain amoung the lasting achivements of the human mind. It may be doubted if any other thinker has contributed so much to the enlignment of the world. Every later age has drawn upon Aristotle and stood upon his shoulders to see the truth."
-Will Durant
