An English translation of Aristotle's treatise on fallacies and deceptive arguments, accompanied by a commentary and other interpretive aids. On Sophistical Refutations is the source of much of the language about fallacious arguments in common use, forming part of education in logic and reasoning for millennia.
This book explores Aristotle's argument in his Protrepticus that philosophy is both useful and intrinsically valuable for all who can philosophize. Ronja Hildebrandt challenges the widespread view that the Protrepticus reflects an early, merely Platonic phase of Aristotle's thought, offering new insights into his surviving works.
Peter Adamson presents an engaging and wide-ranging introduction to European philosophy in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, particularly the parallel and intertwining emergence of humanism and religious reform, as figures like Erasmus, Luther, and Calvin remade the intellectual and spiritual life of Europe.
