Episode 22 - Aristotle Complete Works
A brief introduction to the complete works of Aristotle, the language style, and where to start or approach this foundational set of books - in Greek Philosophy.
Recommended editions for the texts:
"The Complete Works of Aristotle" Edited by Jonathan Barnes, One Volume Digital Edition.
A great version for short introductions to each part (very helpful):
"Aristotle Complete Works" by Delphi Classics.
The excerpt, the opening of "Physics":
"When the objects of an inquiry, in any department, have principles, causes, or elements, it is through acquaintance with these that knowledge and understanding is attained. For we do not think that we know a thing until we are acquainted with its primary causes or first principles, and have carried our analysis as far as its elements. Plainly, therefore, in the science of nature too our first task will be to try to determine what relates to its principles."
