de Anima: Books II and III (with Passages from Book I)
Aristotle's De Anima has a claim to be the first systematic
treatment of issues in the philosophy of mind, and also to be one
of the greatest works on the subject. This volume provides an
accurate translation of Books II and III, together with some
sections of Book I; particular attention has been given to the
translation of difficult terms, to help the student of philosophy
who does not know Greek. A brief Introduction discusses
Aristotle's approach to his subject, while the Notes provide a
continuous philosophical commentary on the text. Since the original
publication of this volume, Aristotle's philosophy of mind has
been the focus of lively scholarly debate; for this revised
edition, Christopher Shields has added a substantial review of this
recent work, together with a new bibliography.
