The Poetics of Aristotle

Politics

Amelia Lang 

does seeing the words and turning the pages count as reading bc what was this man saying 80% of the time. he b like “that by which can be two that i have already described is one which was mentioned” ?? yo???

i feel weird reviewing classical texts that are extensively debated but tbh this one’s warranted bc i found his arguments to be pretty weak or just not substantiated enough. plato does the same through socrates in the republic, but you can read that one as a critique of socrates’ manner of arguing. you can’t really read this from a more nuanced/literary perspective like you can in the republic to approach it more generously, either. 

also he’s like women & slaves r stinky and stupid so i’m taking stars off to be petty i bet he’s shaking and crying in hell like “noooo amelia from goodreads gave me 2 stars and said my book was bad :,(“

This is an admirable translation, meticulous in its attention to Aristotle's Greek and judicious in its phrasing and choice of terms. It should prove invaluable to beginning students and scholars alike. --Richard Kraut, Northwestern University

Aristotle,

George A. Kennedy

A revision of George Kennedy's translation of, introdution to, and commentary on Aristotle's On Rhetoric. His translation is most accurate, his general introduction is the most thorough and insightful, and his brief introductions to sections of the work, along with his explanatory footnotes, are the most useful available.
