### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Best available translation
  

*by L***A on Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2016*

I know from experience that Ancient Greek is hard to translate, and Aristotle is particularly thorny. I have also read various translations of this work and others by Aristotle. Sachs's translation keeps things literal while carefully bringing the nuance of the Greek into English. I believe this to be the best available translation of the Physics.

    Best Translation Out There
  

*by S***P on Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2009*

This translation of Aristotle's Physics is really the best one available - and not simply because the others are terrible (some of them are not terrible), but because this one is extraordinary.  As some of the other reviewers may have suggested, it can be hard to read at times because of the unfamiliar phrasings.  However, I think this is irrelevant because (a) other translation are not easy reading either, (b) other translations are not as good at capturing Aristotle's meaning so that even if they were much easier to read they just make it that much easier for you to misunderstand Aristotle, (c) in fact the efforts required to follow the unfamiliar phrasings in this translation are themselves part of what makes this translation the most useful for anyone who wants to understand Aristotle, and (d) its really not all that hard to read.  (And the same points go for the other translations by Sachs.)  Sachs unpacks the richness of the Greek terms in his translation rather than covering it over with English terms that give you the illusion of understanding or force you to constantly adjust your thought about what the English words are supposed to mean in the context of Aristotle's philosophy.  For example, Sachs' translation of energeia as "being-at-work" as opposed to "activity," and entelecheia as "being-at-work-staying-itself" as opposed to "actualization."  Sachs' translations here really put the nuances of the Greek terms to the forefront, and they give you the opportunity to think through (and to think hard about) what Aristotle must mean in a beautiful way that makes reading this translation a real learning, eye-opening, awakening experience.  Also Sachs provides very useful glossary, introduction, and commentary. If you're just starting Aristotle or have been studying him for years, this translation is sure to do you right.  I've been studying Aristotle for about a decade and a half and I never cease to very greatly appreciate Sachs' translations.  --Michael Russo

    Tragic: Best translation; worst publishing job
  

*by G***E on Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2019*

See the other reviews for notes about the translation. It's easily the best one.What is absolutely heartbreaking is that this terrific translation is bound up in arguably the worst format I've ever seen this work presented. The pages themselves are bad quality, and there's not even any line break whatsoever between the various sections. It all reads like an overly cramped, jam-packed attempt to save money on publishing.I have been checking regularly to see if Joe Sachs's translation has been reprinted elsewhere, and will continue to search until it has been.
