Critics Review
Elegant, philosophically sensitive, and informed by some of the best recent scholarly work on Aristotle’s psychology and biology […] I probably cannot overemphasise how good this translation is a whole, and how useful it will be to students and scholars wanting an accessible, up to date translation of all of Aristotle’s psychological works together. Miller’s work is a great scholarly achievement, and one that is worth far more than its listed price. * Jason W. Carter, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
