By Aristotle & Tim Zengerink
The Ancient Wisdom Collection (Vol. 5) by Aristotle & Tim Zengerink digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

What if the key to understanding existence, memory, and the mystery of sleep lay hidden in the mind of one ancient philosopher?

The Ancient Wisdom Collection (Vol. 5) brings together three of Aristotle's most intellectually provocative texts in a clear and contemporary translation. From the structure of reality to the mechanics of memory and the nature of rest, this collection invites readers into the deepest levels of philosophical and scientific reflection.

What You'll Discover Inside:

Metaphysics - Aristotle's masterpiece on being, substance, and causality. Explore questions of what truly exists, how things come to be, and what it means to know. This foundational work in Western philosophy investigates the "first causes" of reality and the pursuit of truth beyond the physical world.

On Memory and Reminiscence - An early exploration of how humans remember and recollect, analyzing the workings of the mind and the distinction between active memory and reflective thinking. Discover how Aristotle anticipated many modern theories of cognition.

On Sleep and Sleeplessness - A strikingly prescient text that examines the nature of sleep, why it occurs, and its connection to the soul and senses. Understand Aristotle's timeless reflections on consciousness, rest, and waking states.

This volume is both metaphysical and deeply human-offering insight into how we experience, understand, and reflect on our world. Accessible to the modern reader, these texts remain vital tools for anyone grappling with the questions of what is real, how we remember, and why we sleep.

Step into Aristotle's world and uncover truths that still challenge and inspire the thinking mind today.
