This book is a collection of essays and poems on Aristotle's complete and systematic philosophy. The essays are thematically arranged in two volumes covering his logic and ontology as well as his ethical and political philosophy. A collection relevant philosophic poems completes each of the two collections by providing valuable insights which capture, in poetic form, the spirit of Aristotelian and Hellenic philosophy. The defining characteristic of the book is a sustained effort to read and interpret critically certain aspects of Aristotle's philosophy, placed in the proper context of the Platonic tradition, in which it was born and nurtured over time. Aristotle is thus here understood essentially as a Platonic philosopher, even when he argues against specific Platonic doctrines and is criticized by other Platonic philosophers for that. In this respect, the Aristotelian system can be seen in its totality as an extensive network of critical "footnotes to Plato."
