Description

Aristotle's Dialectic 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, and how it goes about doing it. 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.

Reviews

"The Topics and the Sophistical Refutations are the workshop in which the argumentative armory of Aristotle's philosophy is forged. They are not an easy read, but for this very reason Reeve's masterly translation, which achieves fluidity without sacrificing rigor and lexical consistency, is a most essential tool."
--Paolo Fait, Tutorial Fellow in Classical Philosophy, New College, University of Oxford
