Hello all.
I wonder if there is anyone here who studies or at least is interested on Aristotle's philosophy. Would be great to meet some people who are working with his philosophy, specially for the exchange of knowledge, but also because of the bibliography.

Hello all.
I wonder if there is anyone here who studies or at least is interested on Aristotle's philosophy. Would be great to meet some people who are working with his philosophy, specially for the exchange of knowledge, but also because of the bibliography. Hello and benvenuto, bertphilo I am not a specialist on Aristotle, but I will mention a few things that may be helpful to you. All of his works have been translated into English, Italian, and many other languages; you may find some of them online for you to read. but do you have special interests in philosophical fields? For his works on logic, start with his Prior Analytics. For some truth/epistemological issues, look into his Posterior Analytics. For his works on Nature/ the physical world: Physics [Ta Physica]; On Corruption; etc. The editor of his manuscripts found a work without a title; so he simply called it {the book} "After the Physics" that is "Meta Ta Physica" [Metaphysics, which is generally about reality, about cosmology,and about non-physical things....] For a bibliography, search for "Aristotle Wikipedia" before you start buying books. Good luck!

Grazie mille, joustos!
Actually, I've been studying Aristotle for some years. My main interest is in his Metaphysics and the Western reception of it, specially the onto-epistemological reception of it: how the Western philosophy drank directly from the fountain of the Aristotelian philosophy, furthermore, a philological approach of this relation points out with great precision the Roman-Latin reception of the Greek original philosophical thought —Hypokeimenon becomes Subjectum, Hypostasis becomes Substantia, Symbebekós - Accidens. Behind these translations, apparently literal, there is no Greek experience, and the Roman-Latin thinking fails to attain the originality of the Greek thinking, nevertheless it embraces Aristotle's immanent realism and generates a rupture with the Eastern reception of Aristotelian philosophy. Then, Florovsky points out that we "must think and act as the Greeks". Do you have any specific interest in the Corpus Aristotelicum? And thank you for initially giving me a help with this!

And thank you for initially giving me a help with this!Many years ago, my interest in Aristotle shifted according to my own circumstances. For example, while I was working on a thesis (St. Bonaventure's ontology), I delved more into Aristotle's Metaphysics and particularly into his Categories, but unfortunately I was not enlightened -- while I was pondering on the notion of Relation as inseparable from Substance. // On another occasion, while I was dealing with issues of justice, I went back to Aristotle's N. Ethics, which was helpful to me. // In my graduate studies of philosophy, I was highly impressed by the pre-Socratics, who raised questions in me about the relationship of language and philosophical thinking. Have a happy and healthy New Year!
