This text provides in-depth studies of the main themes of Aristotle's thought, from art to zoology. Comprised of forty essays, it will include, among others, essays on his views on metaphysics, psychology, biology, ethics, politics, and on rhetoric and art. Written by well-known scholars of the Aristotelian corpus, these essays not only articulate the most widely accepted accounts of Aristotle's views on certain topics and the assumptions and arguments used to support them, but also offer new ways of reading controversial texts and analyzing complex arguments that lead to original ways of interpreting his writings.
