On the Soul: The Works Of Aristotle

1808. This is Volume VI of VI of Taylor's translation of the Works of Aristotle. It contains his treatises on Concerning Sense and Sensibles; On Memory and Reminiscence; On Sleep and Wakefulness; On Dreams, On Divination by Sleep; On the Common Motion of Animals; On the Generation of Animals; On Length and Shortness of Life; On Youth and Old Age, Life and Death; and On Respiration. Thomas Taylor was one of the outstanding translators of the philosophical writings of the Greeks and Romans, and also published several original works on philosophy and mathematics. Many of his important contributions in these fields have been long out-of-print and are extremely difficult to obtain, having been issued in very small editions. Most of Taylor's translations have an archaic elegance which preserves the spirit of the older authors in a manner not evident in more recent translations. Taylor also added notes and commentaries which give valuable insight into the essential meaning often obscure in the actualtext.
