Book Description
In ancient Athens, the great philosopher applies logic to a lethal crime—in the “eminently enjoyable” first novel in a historical mystery series (Colin Dexter, author of the Inspector Morse Mysteries). Young Stephanos is desperate to save his family’s honor by proving in the Athenian court that his exiled cousin is not guilty of shooting an arrow into a prominent patrician. For help, he turns to his old teacher—the cunning and clever thinker known as Aristotle. It will all lead up to a tense public trial in which Stephanos must draw on the rhetorical skills he’s learned from his eccentric, brilliant mentor, in this novel filled with suspense, humor, and historical detail—the first in a series of “witty, elegant whodunits” (Times Literary Supplement). “[An] unusually authentic Ancient-Greece murder tale.”—Kirkus Reviews “Doody brings the Athens of 322 BC to life with skill and verve…wonderfully plotted.”—Publishers Weekly

Book Description
Desire is a central concept in Aristotle's ethical and psychological works, but he does not provide us with a systematic treatment of the notion itself. This book reconstructs the account of desire latent in his various scattered remarks on the subject and analyses its role in his moral psychology. Topics include: the range of states that Aristotle counts as desires (orexeis); objects of desire (orekta) and the relation between desires and envisaging prospects; desire and the good; Aristotle's three species of desire: epithumia (pleasure-based desire), thumos (retaliatory desire) and boulêsis (good-based desire - in a narrower notion of 'good' than that which connects desire more generally to the good); Aristotle's division of desires into rational and non-rational; Aristotle and some current views on desire; and the role of desire in Aristotle's moral psychology. The book will be of relevance to anyone interested in Aristotle's ethics or psychology.

Book Description
Senza Aristotele niente Sherlock Holmes. É questa, verosimilmente, l'idea alla base di questo giallo investigativo. Il metodo del tipo di detective alla Sherlock Holmes - di enumerare indizi, trarne ipotesi, dedurne nuovi particolari, sino alla spiegazione del delitto e la scoperta conseguente del colpevole - non sarebbe stato possibile se non applicando il metodo dimostrativo della logica aristotelica al crimine. Stefanos, un simpatico giovanetto dell'Atene del IV secolo, dunque, guidato dallo Stagirita che non si muove di casa come Nero Wolfe, indaga sull'assassinio di un ricco oligarca, di cui è accusato ingiustamente il cugino, esule per un precedente errore.
