Opis

This volume features a unique epitome of Aristotelian practical philosophy. It is often attributed to Arius Didymus who composed a survey of Peripatetic on three areas: ethics, household management, and politics. The quality of the epitome, which draws not only on the surviving treatises of Aristotle, but also later Peripatetics, is excellent.
