The Complete Works of Aristotle. Illustrated

Aristotle's works shaped centuries of philosophy from Late Antiquity through the Renaissance, and even today continue to be studied with keen interest.

Aristotle left a great body of work, perhaps numbering as many as two-hundred treatises, from which approximately thirty-one survive.

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.

Taught by Plato, he was the founder of the Lyceum, the first Peripatetic school of philosophy, and the Aristotelian tradition.
