| Aristotle's On the Soul and On Memory and Recollection by Green Lion Press The Being-At-Work-Staying-Itself of Aristotle |
| Although the Sachs' translation and phrasing is difficult to ingest upon first glance, it is the only way to go in order to truly understand the meaning in Aristotle's work without reading the original Greek text. He captures Aristotle's subtilties in wording amazingly, while also preserving the literality and spirit of the Greek in a way that no other translator before has. The Greek vocabulary lessons preceding the chapters are extremely helpful, acquainting the unfamiliar with the fundamental words and concepts of Aristotle. He helps to make a deep and difficult treatise more manageable, although I would highly recommend using another translation to boot in any close reading of this work. |
| Aristotle's On the Soul and On Memory and Recollection by Green Lion Press Book Description |
| Contains complete text of Aristotle's On the Soul (De Anima) and On Memory and Recollection in Joe Sachs's groundbreaking new translation, a fresh and jargon-free recreation of Aristotle's original everyday language, with a substantial introductory essay, notes, and extensive annotated glossary. In this timeless and profound inquiry, Aristotle presents a view of the psyche that avoids the simplifications both of the materialists and those who believe in the soul as something quite distinct from the body. On the Soul also includes Aristotle's idiosyncratic and influential account of light and colors. on Memory and Recollection continues investigation of some of the topics introduced in On the Soul. |
