  1. Aristotle's Chemistry

    Translated, with Introduction and Notes, by C. D. C. Reeve

    This new translation of On Coming to Be and Passing Away and Meteorology 1 and 4 fits seamlessly with the other volumes in the New Hackett Aristotle Series, enabling Anglophone readers to study these works in a way previously not possible. The Introduction describes the book that lies ahead, explaining what it is about, what it is trying to do, how it goes about doing it, and what sort of audience it presupposes. Sequentially numbered, cross-referenced endnotes provide the information most needed at each juncture, while a detailed Index indicates the places where focused discussion of key notions occurs.

    "Reading Aristotle isn’t easy, and Reeve doesn’t pretend to make it so. But his uncluttered translation, extensive annotation, and supplementary materials go a long way toward lightening the burden; this is another gem to add to his very useful collection."
    —Russell Dancy, Professor Emeritus, Florida State University

  2. Aristotle's Theology

    Translated, with Introduction and Notes, by C. D. C. Reeve

    "Even those already familiar with Aristotle may be surprised to learn that discussions of theological topics can be found in so many of his works. Reeve's idea of packaging these texts sequentially along with commentary and notes is brilliant. This book will be essential reading for anyone interested in Aristotle's theology."
    —S. Marc Cohen, Professor of Philosophy, Emeritus, University of Washington

    “Based on comprehensive knowledge of the Aristotelian corpus, Reeve’s book is a transformative addition to the literature.”
    —David Sedley, Emeritus Laurence Professor of Ancient Philosophy, University of Cambridge

  3. De Anima (Reeve Edition)

    Aristotle
    Translated, with Introduction and Notes, by C. D. C. Reeve

    Series: The New Hackett Aristotle

    "This is C. D. C. Reeve's entirely new version of Aristotle's fascinating, and at the same time superbly difficult, text. The translation is faithful, concise, and extraordinarily thoughtful. Any student of the De Anima will no doubt greatly profit from it. Reeve's Introduction focuses on the place of the study of the soul in Aristotle's biology and—controversially—theology. With this he provides a refreshing and highly instructive counterpoint to an idea still very powerful in the secondary literature. This is the thought that the De Anima pertains to the province of 'the philosophy of mind.' Reeve shows that the De Anima is much more than this. A remarkable contribution." —Klaus Corcilius, University of California, Berkeley and The University of Tübingen

  4. De Caelo

    Aristotle
    Translated, with Introduction and Notes, by C. D. C. Reeve

    Series: The New Hackett Aristotle

    "The De Caelo can be quite difficult for a first-time reader. C. D. C. Reeve's fluid and accurate translation, along with his superb Introduction and 560 endnotes (in effect functioning as a commentary), are bound to make this work much more accessible, while at the same time being a highly useful tool for seasoned Aristotle scholars." —Robert Mayhew, Professor of Philosophy, Seton Hall University

    "Reeve's lucid and accurate translation of this difficult work will be of great value both to historians of philosophy and to philosophers interested in the topics Aristotle addresses for their own sake. The generous Introduction and notes provide the reader without Greek with full access to Aristotle's thinking." —William Charlton, author of many works on Aristotle's philosophy of nature and contributor of five volumes to the Ancient Commentators on Aristotle series

    Series: The New Hackett Aristotle

The translation is not only faithful to the Greek text but it also reproduces masterfully the rhythm of Aristotle’s prose. Together with its thoughtful Introduction, copious notes, and temperance when coping with textual problems, Reeve’s edition is a remarkable contribution to Aristotelian studies." —Pavlos Kontos, University of Patras, Greece

  6. Generation of Animals & History of Animals I, Parts of Animals I

    Aristotle
    Translated, with Introduction and Notes, by C.D.C. Reeve

    Series: The New Hackett Aristotle

    "C.D.C. Reeve's annotated translation of Aristotle’s Generation of Animals provides novices and experts alike a much-needed modern and readable, yet accurate and technically rigorous, entry to this difficult text. By printing it together with translations of the methodologically prior works, History of Animals I and Parts of Animals I, readers now have access to what are arguably Aristotle's philosophically richest biological texts. The Introduction helpfully situates the project of Aristotle's biology into its metaphysical and (natural) scientific context, but it also does much more. It offers a panoramic, illuminating, and characteristically provocative interpretative picture of Aristotle’s philosophical endeavors as a whole—one that demands to be assessed in its entirety, and that is supported by a wealth of references to, and quotations from, mostly Aristotle himself. The book provides an invaluable resource for anyone trying to understand Aristotle’s fascination with living nature." —Mariska Leunissen, The University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill

  7. Metaphysics (Reeve Edition)

    Aristotle
    Translated, with Introduction and Notes, by C. D. C. Reeve

    Series: The New Hackett Aristotle

    "C. D. C. Reeve adds to his already remarkable series of translations of Plato and Aristotle another stellar accomplishment: a full translation of Aristotle’s daunting Metaphysics. He has managed to present Aristotle’s often ungainly Greek into perfectly flowing English syntax without sacrificing the core meaning of the text. Any translator of Aristotle will recognize what an impressive achievement this is. All readers will benefit from the over 1,600 explicative notes accompanying the translation: Reeve has a discerning eye for determining what requires amplification for the purposes of understanding and an admirable gift for saying just as much as needs to be said in order to achieve it." —Christopher Shields, George N. Shuster Professor of Philosophy, University of Notre Dame

  9. Physics

    Aristotle
    Translated, with Introduction and Notes, by C. D. C. Reeve

    Series: The New Hackett Aristotle

    The Physics is a foundational work of western philosophy, and the crucial one for understanding Aristotle's views on matter, form, essence, causation, movement, space, and time. This richly annotated, scrupulously accurate, and consistent translation makes it available to a contemporary English reader as no other does—in part because it fits together seamlessly with other closely associated works in the New Hackett Aristotle series, such as the Metaphysics, De Anima, and forthcoming De Caelo and On Coming to Be and Passing Away. Eventually the series will include all of Aristotle's works. Sequentially numbered endnotes provide the information most needed at each juncture, while a detailed Index of Terms indicates places where focused discussion of key notions occurs. An illuminating general Introduction describes the book that lies ahead, explaining what sort of work it is and what sorts of evidence it relies on.

  11. Rhetoric

    Aristotle
    Translated, with Introduction and Notes, by C. D. C. Reeve

    Series: The New Hackett Aristotle

    "The Rhetoric is, of course, a landmark in the history of rhetorical theory. It is also a major work of Aristotelian philosophy, which contains Aristotle's fullest discussion of the nature and value of dialectic, a pioneering treatment of non-conclusive but reputable argumentation and a wide-ranging examination of the emotions, among other things. Reeve's clear and accurate translation, with a meaty Introduction and copious notes, does justice to the Rhetoric in all its aspects as no English language translation has done before." James Allen, University of Toronto

    This new translation of Aristotle's Rhetoric, noteworthy for its consistency and accuracy, is the latest addition to the New Hackett Aristotle series. Fitting seamlessly with the others in the series, it enables Anglophone readers to read Aristotle’s works in a way previously impossible. Sequentially numbered endnotes provide the information most needed at each juncture, while a detailed Index of Terms guides the reader to places where focused discussion of key notions occurs.
