Categories and De Interpretatione (Clarendon Aristotle Series)
Product Review "an admirable and ingenious piece of philosophical scholarship" D. W. Hamlyn, Classical Review "Ackrill's translation and commentary on Aristotle's Categories is an great introduction to the treatise." C. Witt, University of New Hampshire About The Author J. L. Ackrill is at University of Oxford. Reader Reviews The Categories and the De Interpretatione are very interesting and important works of Aristotle. Anyone who wants to understand any part of Aristotle's philosophy will surely have to acquaint himself with these works. J.L. Ackrill's translations are in my oppinion the best available English translations of Aristotle's Categories and De Interpretatione. Although E.M. Edghills translations (in Richard McKeon's Basic Works of Aristotle) are also highly readable, Ackrill's translations are more accurate. The commentary is quite good, and as usual, Ackrill writes very clearly. Although space does not permit him to exhaust every topic, his notes are very helpful, and all in all the commentary is far superior to other commentaries on the Categories or the De Interpretatione known to me (e.g. H.G. Apostle's Aristotle's Categories and Propositions). There is also a glossary and index of subjects which are helpful. I recommend this book to anyone interested in (a) the Categories or the De Interpretatione, (b) Aristotle, (c) ancient philosophy, or (d) philosophy. Comment | | (Report this)
