Looks at the use of language in persuasive argument, identifying the practical and aesthetic elements of an effective presentation.
Jacob Aristotle Volgorde van de boeken (chronologisch)
Aristoteles behoort tot de grootste filosofen aller tijden, wiens werken de westerse filosofie eeuwenlang hebben gevormd. Zijn onderzoek bestreek een breed scala aan onderwerpen, van logica en metafysica tot ethiek, politiek en esthetiek. Zijn nadruk op observatie en empirisch onderzoek, met name in de biologie, was baanbrekend. Aristoteles' filosofie is complex en blijft tot op heden discussie oproepen, wat zijn blijvende invloed op de intellectuele geschiedenis bewijst.

Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, based on lectures that he gave in Athens in the fourth century BCE, is one of the most significant works in moral philosophy, and has profoundly influenced the whole course of subsequent philosophical endeavor. Topics covered include the role of luck in human wellbeing, responsibility, courage, justice, friendship and pleasure. This accessible new translation follows the Greek text closely and also provides a non-Greek reader with something of the flavor of the original. The volume also includes a historical and philosophical introduction and notes on further reading.
Nearly all the works Aristotle (384 322 BCE) prepared for publication are lost; the priceless ones extant are lecture-materials, notes, and memoranda (some are spurious). They can be categorized as practical; logical; physical; metaphysical; on art; other; fragments.
