thanks somuch

Aristotle made several efforts to explain how moral conduct contributes to the good life for human agents, including the Eqikh EudaimonhV (Eudemian Ethics) and the Magna Moralia, but the most complete surviving statement of his views on morality occurs in the Eqikh Nikomacoi (Nicomachean Ethics). There he considered the natural desire to achieve happiness, described the operation of human volition and moral deliberation, developed a theory of each virtue as the mean between vicious extremes, discussed the value of three kinds of friendship, and defended his conception of an ideal life of intellectual pursuit.

But on Aristotle’s view, the lives of individual human beings are invariably linked together in a social context. In the Peri PoliV (Politics) he speculated about the origins of the state, described and assessed the relative merits of various types of government, and listed the obligations of the individual citizen. He may also have been the author of a model PoliteiaV Aqhnawn (Constitution of Athens), in which the abstract notion of constitutional government is applied to the concrete life of a particular society.

Aristotle on False Reasoning: Language and the World in the Sophistical Refutations $29.95 A comprehensive look at Aristotle’s treatise on logical fallacies. Presenting the first book-length study in English of Aristotle’s Sophistical Refutations, this work takes a fresh look at this seminal text on false reasoning. Through a careful and critical analysis of Aristotle’s examples of sophistical reasoning, Scott G. Schreiber explores Aristotle’s rationale for his taxonomy of twelve fallacy types. Contrary to certain modern attempts to reduce all fallacious reasoning to either errors of logical form or linguistic imprecision, Aristotle insists that, as important as form and language are, certain types of false reasoning derive their persuasiveness from mistaken beliefs about the nature of language and the nature of the world. Author Biography: Scott G. Schreiber is Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Director of Classical Studies at St. Norbert College.

In Balance for Life: A Guide to Understanding and Maximizing Your Body’s PH Factor $15.95 The principle of balance is not new.

Men of Ideas $11.95 Men Of Ideas is a concise, easy-to-read presentation of the lives and thinking of more than 20 of the great philosophers.The lives and ideas of some of the world’s best-known philosophers are presented in Men Of Ideas. Why read philosophy? Because, says John Loeper, all of our most cherished beliefs are born in philosophy. Our government, our religions, our freedoms, our science, and our system of justice all come from philosophy. The daily newspapers are teaming with philosophical speculations: civil rights, the rights of poor and underprivileged, political freedoms, and the environment. Philosophy is an attempt to understand what life means; it is a look for a reason for living; it is a search for reasons for why we live as we do or why we want to change life as we know it. It is an attempt to place ourselves in the world and in the universe and then find out what that world and universe are. Since very early times men have pondered the questions that philosophy raises. Many questions and answers that people talk about today were first discussed long ago. Men Of Ideas is an attempt to show what people over a period of 2,500 years and from many parts of the world have said about ideas that are as important now as they ever were. Loeper has condensed the biographies and thoughts of men like Aristotle, Augustine, Confucius and Kierkegaard into easy-to-read, concise and thought-provoking chapters.

Reason’s Dark Champions $49.95 Recent decades have witnessed a major restoration of the Sophists” reputation, revising the Platonic and Aristotelian orthodoxies that have dominated the tradition. Still lacking is a full appraisal of the Sophists” strategies of argumentation. Christopher W. Tindale corrects that omission in Reason’’s Dark Champions. Viewing the Sophists as a group linked by shared strategies rather than by common epistemological beliefs, Tindale illustrates that the Sophists engaged in a range of argumentative practices in manners wholly different from the principal ways in which Plato and Aristotle employed reason. By examining extant fifth-century texts and the ways in which Sophistic reasoning is mirrored by historians, playwrights, and philosophers of the classical world, Tindale builds a robust understanding of Sophistic argument with relevance to contemporary studies of rhetoric and communication.

The book is an insightful introduction to the philosophical thought of Aristotle, Bacon, Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, Herschel, Darwin, and Einstein, among others. It puts modern science in a broader historical perspective and offers an entert

The Idea of the Theater in Latin Christian Thought: Augustine to the Fourteenth Century $85 “Through well-informed and nuanced readings of key documents from the fourth through fourteenth centuries, this book challenges historians’ long-held beliefs about how concepts of Greco-Roman theater survived the fall of Rome and the Middle Ages, and contributed to the dramatic triumphs of the Renaissance. Dox’s work is a significant contribution to the history of ideas that will change forever the standard narrative of the birth and development of theatrical activity in medieval Europe.” —-Margaret Knapp, Arizona State University”…an elegantly concise survey of the way classical notions of theater have been interpreted in the Latin Middle Ages. Dox convincingly demonstrates that far from there being a single ‘medieval’ attitude towards theater, there was in fact much debate about how theater could be understood to function within Christian tradition, even in the so-called ‘dark ages’ of Western culture. This book makes an innovative contribution to studies of the history of the theater, seen in terms of the history of ideas, rather than of practice.”—-Constant Mews, Director, Centre for the Study of Religion & Theology, University of Monash, Australia”In the centuries between St. Augustine and Bartholomew of Bruges, Christian thought gradually moved from a brusque rejection of classical theater to a progressively nuanced and positive assessment of its value. In this lucidly written study, Donnalee Dox adds an important facet to our understanding of the Christian reaction to, and adaptation of, classical culture in the centuries between the Church Fathers and the rediscovery of Aristotle.”—-Philipp W. Rosemann, University of DallasThis book considers medieval texts that deal with ancient theater as documents of Latin Christianity’s intellectual history. As an exercise in medieval historiography, this study also examines biases in modern scholarship that seek links between these texts and performance practices. The effort to
