Metaphysics. E-book. Formato EPUB Aristotle - Passerino, 2026 -
Few works have shaped the history of philosophy as profoundly as Aristotle’s Metaphysics. In this foundational text, Aristotle asks the deepest questions human reason can pose: What does it mean for something to exist? What is substance? What are cause, form, matter, potentiality, and actuality? And is there a first principle behind all things?Moving beyond the study of nature, Aristotle investigates “being as being,” laying the groundwork for centuries of metaphysical, theological, and scientific thought. His reflections on essence, change, causality, and the “Unmoved Mover” became central to medieval philosophy, Christian theology, Islamic and Jewish thought, and the entire Western intellectual tradition. Demanding, rigorous, and endlessly influential, Metaphysics remains one of the great monuments of philosophical inquiry. It is a book for readers who wish to confront the ultimate foundations of reality and enter into dialogue with one of the most powerful minds of antiquity. A timeless classic for students, scholars, and all readers interested in philosophy, ontology, and the search for first principles.Aristotle (384–322 BC) was one of the greatest philosophers of ancient Greece and one of the most influential thinkers in the history of Western thought. A student of Plato and later tutor to Alexander the Great, he wrote on an extraordinary range of subjects, including logic, ethics, politics, biology, rhetoric, poetry, physics, and metaphysics.His works laid the foundations for many disciplines and shaped philosophical, scientific, and theological reflection for more than two thousand years. In Metaphysics, Aristotle explores the deepest questions concerning being, substance, causality, change, actuality, potentiality, and the first principles of reality.
On the Soul. E-book. Formato EPUB Aristotle - Passerino, 2026 -
In On the Soul, Aristotle offers one of the most influential investigations in the history of philosophy: a profound inquiry into life, consciousness, sensation, memory, desire, imagination, and thought. Moving beyond myth and speculation, he examines the soul not as something separate from the body, but as the essential principle that makes a living being alive.With remarkable clarity and analytical force, Aristotle distinguishes the powers of the soul in plants, animals, and human beings: nutrition, perception, movement, and intellect. His reflections on sight, hearing, touch, imagination, and reason laid the foundations for psychology, biology, metaphysics, and philosophy of mind.At once scientific and philosophical, ancient and strikingly modern, On the Soul remains a central text for anyone seeking to understand the relationship between body and mind, life and awareness, nature and thought.A classic of Greek philosophy, this work continues to speak to readers interested in the deepest questions of human existence: what it means to live, to perceive, to think—and to be.Aristotle (384–322 BCE) was one of the greatest philosophers of ancient Greece and one of the most influential thinkers in Western history. A student of Plato and later the tutor of Alexander the Great, he founded his own school in Athens, the Lyceum.His writings cover an extraordinary range of subjects, including logic, metaphysics, ethics, politics, rhetoric, poetics, biology, physics, and psychology. Unlike Plato, Aristotle placed strong emphasis on observation, classification, and the study of the natural world.His works, including Nicomachean Ethics, Politics, Metaphysics, Poetics, and On the Soul, shaped philosophy, science, theology, and education for more than two thousand years.

The Constitution of the Athenians, also called The Athenian Constitution is a work by Aristotle or one of his students. The work describes the constitution of Athens. It is preserved on a papyrus roll from Hermopolis, published in 1891 and now in the British Library. A small part of the work also survives on two leaves of a papyrus codex, discovered in the Fayum in 1879 and now in the papyrus collection of the Ägyptisches Museum in Berlin.Aristotle (384–322 BC) was a Greek philosopher and polymath during the Classical period in Ancient Greece. Taught by Plato, he was the founder of the Peripatetic school of philosophy within the Lyceum and the wider Aristotelian tradition. His writings cover many subjects including physics, biology, zoology, metaphysics, logic, ethics, aesthetics, poetry, theatre, music, rhetoric, psychology, linguistics, economics, politics, meteorology, geology, and government. Aristotle provided a complex synthesis of the various philosophies existing prior to him. It was above all from his teachings that the West inherited its intellectual lexicon, as well as problems and methods of inquiry. As a result, his philosophy has exerted a unique influence on almost every form of knowledge in the West and it continues to be a subject of contemporary philosophical discussion.Translated by Sir Frederic G.
