Protrepticus (Aristotle)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Protrepticus (Greek: Προτρεπτικός) is the title of a work by Aristotle that survives only in fragments. Since the 19th century, when inquiry was initiated by Jakob Bernays (1863), several scholars have attempted to reconstruct the work.[1] Attempted reconstructions include:

  • A 1961 book by Ingemar Düring[2]
  • A 1964 book by Anton-Hermann Chroust[3]
