The past few years have seen a spate of new translations of classic texts in philosophy, in part because of more complete texts on which to base the translations and in part because of a desire to render the texts in a more contemporary English. Simpson (classics and philosophy, CUNY) has produced a fresh and lively translation that is perhaps more logically ordered. He makes a strong case for rearranging the standard order of the books of the Politics to provide a sequence more in keeping with Aristotle's intentions, positioning Books 7 and 8 to follow Book 3. The text begins with a translation of Book 10, Chapter 9 of the Nicomachean Ethics, which Simpson argues is a precursor to the Politics. A comparison with standard translations, such as those of Jowett and Barker, indicates that Simpson put much effort into this version and clarified a number of points that earlier translations left unclear. An excellent addition to all academic and major public libraries.?Terry C. Skeats, Bishop's Univ. Lib., Lennoxville, Quebec

Review
This is an admirable translation, meticulous in its attention to Aristotle's Greek and judicious in its phrasing and choice of terms. It should prove invaluable to beginning students and scholars alike. -- Richard Kraut, Northwestern University --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

评分东方人写书,一开篇就是“道可道,非常道”这种玄而又玄的东西。 西方人比较实在,写的书也是实实在在,同样是古代的大知识分子,亚里斯多德比起老子来就要老实得多。 开篇就是:所有政治群体,都是人类为了完成某种善业而形成的组织。 这让我想起来迄今为止最成功的一次活...
