Synopsis
The history of Western civilization has passed verdict on this book which we cherish as one of the noblest accomplishments of human intelligence. The present age may disbelieve in Aristotle's astronomical theories, but is also rejects Newtonian physics as definitive answers to scientific inquiry. Yet scientific progress does not diminish the value of previous contributions, for, as it is well said, we stand on the shoulders of giants. Such works as the Physics are the eternal possessions of mankind. The present translation of the Physics, which is the work of both a philosopher and a classical scholar, was first used in manuscript form in a seminar on Aristotle at Columbia University. According to the translator, Professor Richard Hope, it has been "planned especially for the benefit of college and graduate students of philosophy. Instead of aiming at a literal reproduction of Aristotle's words and sentences, this version undertakes to present his ideas as we would express them, yet with as much fidelity to his text as the exigencies of a clear English rendering will allow." The translation also includes an analytical index which is in itself an invaluable piece of scholarly work. By reference to key numbers in the translation, the reader may readily determine the Greek terms which are being paraphrased., "This new English version of the Physics is the last contribution to the understanding of Greek thought of Richard Hope, long a teacher of philosophy at the University of Pittsburgh. . . . This writing he had always seen as embodying many of Aristotle's most enduring insights. "In his translations, Hope attempted to have them make sense to the English reader, and above all to make philosophic sense to anyone trying to understand not only Aristotle but the world as well. . . . The present translation], presented in the form in which he left it, can stand as a monument to the thinking of a learned and penetrating philosophical mind."--John Herman Randall, Jr.

- v***v (2055)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
