Students will learn how to read, how to criticise, and how to make sense of Aristotle and will thus be in a position to benefit from the wealth of Aristotle s thought. In the early part of the course we will explore some of the basic themes of Aristotle s epistemology, metaphysics and philosophy of nature. We will then focus on key topics from his psychology and ethics, perhaps of all his wideranging enquiries the areas that continue to provide the greatest stimulus for contemporary thinkers..

4 Suggested essay questions Does Aristotle offer a persuasive account of how knowledge can be acquired? What are primary substances? Does Aristotle succeed in showing that they are primary? Does Aristotle demonstrate that there is teleology in nature? Explain and assess Aristotle s account of the soul as the first actuality of a living body What does Aristotle s account of sense-perception tell us about his view of the relation between the soul and the body? Does Aristotle offer a coherent account of imagination? Does Aristotle offer a persuasive account of the relation between thought and its objects? Does Aristotle s so-called function argument provide a persuasive account of the highest human good? Is Aristotle right to say that virtue is a mean? Can Aristotle s account of contemplation be reconciled with his other views on happiness? Should it be? Page 4
5 Suggested additional readings In general, the Clarendon Oxford Series contains very good translations of and commentaries on the texts we will study. (Worth getting hold of J. Barnes on Posterior Analytics (2nd ed.), J. Ackrill on Categories, W. Charlton on Physics I and II, and D.W. Hamlyn on De Anima) S. Broadie and C. Rowe's translation and commentary on the Nicomachean Ethics is excellent and contains a helpful select bibliography which is divided into different topics, and good introductory essays. There is also a good translation of the NE by Roger Crisp in the Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy series. J. Barnes, Cambridge Companion to Aristotle has some useful chapters on the various key areas of Aritotle s thought, and contains a very full annotated bibliography which forms an excellent starting point for further research on pretty much any topic in Aristotle. The translations in Ackrill's New Aristotle Reader are good. Most of the texts we cover are in Fine and Irwin Aristotle: Introductory Readings which is an abridged version of their Aristotle: Selections. Aristotle s complete works are translated in J. Barnes (ed.), The Complete Works of Aristotle (2 vols) Page 5
