About this ebook
This digital edition combines, for the first time, both volumes of The Complete Works of Aristotle: The Revised Oxford Translation, which is universally recognized as the standard English version.
The Oxford Translation of Aristotle was originally published in twelve volumes between 1912 and 1954. The revised edition contains the substance of the original translation, slightly emended in light of recent scholarship; three of the original versions have been replaced by new translations; and a new and enlarged selection of fragments has been added. The aim of the translation remains the same: to make the surviving works of Aristotle readily accessible to English-speaking readers.

I read the paper book, and I look forward to the digital edition. Aristotle is rather dense and terse Greek, so the English translations are hard to get through. And since he is talking about abstract topics, that complicates the readability of his work. I haven't seen better translations out there, but that's not saying much. I recommend this, but it is very hard reading.

Aristoteles. The teacher of genius. The Brain of humans.
