Harvard University Press Problems, Volume I: Books 1-19 : Aristotle, Mayhew, Robert: desertcart.ae: Books Review: Aristotle is always somewhat of a pleasure to read. This volume in the series contains a very wide variety of understandings of problems ranging from health problems, to medical, emotional, and romantic problems, and even obscure subjects like sneezing and belching. Aristotle binds together the disparate pieces with a theory the editors consider to be "physical" --- but which often involves suggestions about cold and hot climate and the temperament of the person. Generally, I would classify this as a medieval book. There is a lot of insight, if you like Aristotle, but the problems sometimes verge on the quotidian. Worthwhile reading, I guess, if you're studying phenomenology, biology, maybe psychology. Some of the theories were advanced for the time. Nonetheless, not one of my favorite books overall. But I will return to it because some of the content is fascinating.
