Description: "In this lively and original book Russell Winslow pursues a new interpretation of logos in Aristotle. Rather than a reading of rationality that cleaves human beings from nature this new interpretation suggests that for Aristotle consistent and dependable rational arguments reveal a deep dependency upon nature. To this end the author shows that a rational account of a being is in fact subject to the very same principle that governs the physical motion and generation of a being under inquiry. Among the many consequences of this argument is a rejection of both of the prevailing oppositional claims that Aristotle's methodological procedure of discovery is one resting on either empirical or conceptual grounds: discovery reveals a more complex structure than can be grasped by either of these modern modes. Further Winslow argues that this interpretation of rational discovery also contributes to the ethical debates surrounding Aristotle's work insofar as an ethical claim is achieved through reason but is not thereby conceived as objective. Again the demand for agreement in ethical/political decision will be disclosed as superseding in its complexity both those accounts of ethical decision as subjective for example 'emotivist' accounts and those as objective 'realist' accounts." -- with a bonus offer-- .

Marbled boards. Plantin's woodcut printer's mark on the title motto: 'Labore et Constantia'. The first part p. 1-297 contains 'De Mundo'; the Greek text is divided in paragraphs and each paragraph is followed by 2 Latin translations of Apuleius and of Guillaume Budé and by explanatory notes scholia of Vulcanius. The second part which is often lacking in other copies has a title page of its own; it contains the 'editio princeps' of the Greek text of Gregorius Cyprius' 'Praise of the Sea' and reissue of Paulus Silentiarius' poem on the hotsprings Therma in Bithynia Condition: Paper yellowing. 2 names on the title. Right edge of the first leaves slightly thumbed the right lower corner of the first leaves somewhat dog-eared Note: The Greek scholar/philosopher Aristotle 384-322 B.C. is one of the foremost names in the history of thought and perhaps the most influential of all who have ever written. His influence on Western science and culture is immense. His boundless industry extended to most branches of higher learning. 74 treatises genuine and spurious have come down to us under his name. § One such work that has no claim to be genuine is the once popular philosophic treatise 'De Mundo' or 'On the Universe'. Edition Bekker 391-401 In it cosmological and meterological subjects are treated. The work was once ascribed to Aristotle but ever since the German scholar Wilhelm Capelle traced most of its doctrines to the Greek Stoic philosopher Posidonius of Apameia ca. 135 - ca. 51 B.C. the author is known as Pseudo-Aristotle. Neue Jahrbücher XV 1905 p. 529/68 Capelle dates the treatise in the first half of the second century A.D. It was translated into Latin in the second century A.D. by the Roman rhetorician and platonic philosopher Apuleius Madaurensis who is best known for his famous picaresque novel 'Metamorphoses' also known as 'The Golden Ass'. In 1533 the French classical scholar Guillaume Budé Guilielmus Budaeus published in Basel an edition of 'De Mundo' with a Latin translation of his own. This translation and the one of Apuleius was adopted in this Leiden edition of 1591 edited by the Flemish scholar Bonaventura Vulcanius De Smet in Flemish 1539-1614 from 1581 professor of Greek and Latin Letters at the recently founded University of Leiden. It is Vulcanius second edition of 'De Mundo' for in 1587 he had published the first edition. § In the short preface Vulcanius observes that he has restored 'De Mundo' to its original splendor emendating the manuscript and editions he used e.g. 'vetus codex meus habet' and 'In Aldina legitur' at quite a number of places and that he has cleansed Apuleius' translation from many horrific mistakes. 'In Aristotele itaque emendavi non pauca ab Apuleio innumera mendarum portenta profligavi totamque hanc Aristotelici pariter & Apuleiani Mundi fabricam pristinae suae quoad eius fieri potuit integritati restitui' p. 3 verso Vulcanius elucidated 'illustravi' 'De Mundo' also with a load of annotations that he hoped were useful for future philologists and even philosophers. In his annotations he examined how faithful to the Greek the Latin versions of Apuleius and Budaeus were and the 'emendations Vulcanius supplied were nearly all accepted by later editors of 'De Mundo' notably Bekker 1831 and Lorimer 1938'. H. Cazes ed. 'Bonaventura Vulcanius Works and Networks: Bruges 1538 - Leiden 1614' Leiden 2010 p. 346 3 years after this edition of 'De Mundo' Vulcanius produced for the same publisher an 'Opera Omnia' edition of Apuleius. § After 'De Mundo' Vulcanius has added in this edition of 1591 a separate volume containing 2 short Greek texts the 'editio princeps' of a prose work of Gregorius Cyprius 1241-1290 Patriarch of Constantinople the 'Encomium Maris' or the 'Praise of the Sea' p. 3/12 and a iambic poem of 189 verses composed by Paulus Silentiarius during the reign of Justinian 'Eis ta en Pythois Therma' on the hotsprings in Bithynia in Asia Minor p. 13/23 including Vulcanius' notes. It was Vulcanius explains in the 1 page introduction to this poem shoddily presented in the 'Anthologia Epigrammatum Graecorum' of Henri Estienne of 1566. He therefore decided to deliver a correct and sound text with his annotations. p. 13 These 2 small works were probably added by Vulcanius because they go well with and illustrate the passages in 'De Mundo' on the element water i.e. rivers seas oceans etc. p. 44/62 Provenance: On the title the name of 'Henricus Gesselius'. This might be the Dutchman Henricus Gesselius a 'Medicinae Doctor' who published in 1640 a 'Disputationum medicarum quinta de febre hectica & malignis' and 'Disputationum medicarum de febribus septima'. § If this is correct the other name 'Ioan. Cor. Gess.' might well be Johannes Cornelius Gesselius ca. 1550-1627 who was from 1574 rector of the Gymnasium of Amersfoort. He was fired in 1619 because he refused to renounce his catholic faith.

178310489Paris: Chez la Veuve DeSaint 1783. FIRST EDITION IN FRENCH. Including half-titles approbation and privilege du Roi. Volume I with the Greek and French translations on facing pages. Contemporary tree calf some wear to joints and corners; marbled edges some light waterstains in first volume. From the library of George Milton Smith with his bookplate.`. First edition. Camus' translation of Aristotle's descriptive zoology from Greek into French is a masterpiece of scholarship. This highly esteemed translation is much sought after for its extensive erudite commentaries and profound enlightenment of comparative anatomy. Divided into two books the first volume contains Aristotle's original Greek with Camus' French translation facing. Here he documents all the various manuscripts editions and translators cited in the work. The second volume a detailed study of natural history up to the modern time contains Camus' careful observations on the commentaries of other translators. This work is of particular importance for Camus' nomenclature of those living creatures originally described in Aristotle's account. He lists all of the animals found in Aristotle works including those "fanciful and primitive" and then details the differences in terms of the modern knowledge of natural history. <br /> <br /> So great was the influence of Aristotle that his teachings and thought were accepted and enlarged upon for nearly two millennia. He was acquainted with more than five hundred species of animals and had dissected and investigated in detail at least fifty kinds ranging over the entire animal kingdom. Many of his conclusions have stood the test of time. Among them may be mentioned his descriptions of the mechanisms of locomotion of the process of digestion in ruminants of the habits of bees of the mechanism of animal reproduction; his exposition of analogous structures in living bodies; and his methods of biological classification Eimas Heirs of Hippocrates 14.<br /> <br /> Camus 1740-1804 French revolutionist was a successful advocate before the Revolution. In 1789 he was elected by the third estate of Paris to the states general and attracted attention by his speeches against social inequalities. He was named archivist to the Constituent Assembly and in that capacity he organized the national archives and classified the papers of the different assemblies of the Revolution. He was restored to the office in 1796 and became absorbed in literary work. He remained an austere republican refusing to take part in the Napoleonic regime.<br /> <br /> This scarce work was included in Thomas Jefferson's library. Chez la Veuve DeSaint unknown

Wear to the board edges nevertheless a remarkably well-preserved and attractive copy. Very good or better. Arndt 1173. Bristol B10844. Austin 1109. Brendle and Unger G19. While Bristol Austin and Brendle and Unger place this in Ephrata and from the press of G. Baumann Arndt notes this is a Harrisburg imprint from the press of Benjamin Mayers based on "typographical evidence." In terms of content Arndt has compared this with the 1796 edition and finds three chapters added: "Culpepper XVI" "Culpepper XII" and "Der Kaiserliche Schnitt." Arndt hypothesizes that the chapters likely come from Nicholas Culpeper's Directory for Midwives. Despite having been issued in several editions this early Pennsylvania German book on midwifery is rare in commerce. Text in German. unknown

In his further reading of the Posterior Analytics Philoponus aimed to share his understanding of the concept of subordinate sciences which are sciences that can be classified by genus and species. A notion he supported was the idea that some sciences depended on higher ones for some of their principles Philoponus even goes as far to suggest formulating a taxonomy of the sciences. He maintains that philosophy dialectic and all the sciences employ common axioms regarding philosophy in particular it discovers and demonstrates the very principles of every science. Importantly Philoponus decided to take on this work because he thought that Aristotles concepts were too difficult and needed explanation. It was not the first he was indebted to the earlier work of Theophrastus and Galen but Philoponuss work is the earliest to survive. Philoponuss train of thought is frequently obscure and much of the discussion being carried out chooses investigatory examples over blatant argument. He wished to expound the meaning of the Aristotelian text rather than raising objections. It is clear Philoponus engages vigorously with the earlier commentators on the Posterior Analytics thus like most ancient commentaries this one maintains certain importance for the constitution of the text on which it comments. Scotus a prominent Venetian printer and elegant producer of texts was actively publishing a line of these philosophical treatises which were frequently revised and reprinted. The first Latin translation by Theodosius was published in 1539 and was reprinted frequently until 1569. This work remains important to the evolving tradition of early sixteenth century Italian university logic.

Gulbranson on inside covers endpapers of handmade French marbled paper some tanning and light foxing. The first French translation of Aristotle's descriptive zoology. Text in Greek and French on facing pages. History of Animals is a natural history text by the Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle who had studied at Plato's Academy in Athens. It was written in the fourth century BC; Aristotle died in 322 BC. Generally seen as a pioneering work of zoology Aristotle frames his text by explaining that he is investigating the what the existing facts about animals prior to establishing the why their causes. The book is thus an attempt to apply philosophy to part of the natural world. His method is to identify differences both between individuals and between groups. A group is established when it is seen that all members have the same set of distinguishing features; for example the birds all have feathers wings and beaks. This relationship between the birds and their features is identified as a universal. The History of Animals had a powerful influence on zoology for some two thousand years.
