C. D. C. Reeve is Delta Kappa Epsilon Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
"The De Caelo can be quite difficult for a first-time reader.
C. D. C. Reeve's fluid and accurate translation, along
with his superb Introduction and 560 endnotes (in effect
functioning as a commentary), are bound to make this work much more
accessible, while at the same time being a highly useful tool for
seasoned Aristotle scholars."
—Robert Mayhew, professor of philosophy at Seton Hall
University
"Reeve's lucid and accurate translation of this difficult work will
be of great value both to historians of philosophy and to
philosophers interested in the topics Aristotle addresses for their
own sake. The generous Introduction and notes provide the reader
without Greek with full access to Aristotle’s thinking."
—William Charlton, author of many works on Aristotle's philosophy
of nature and contributor of five volumes to the Ancient
Commentators on Aristotle series
"From among the eight Aristotelian treatises translated by C. D. C.
Reeve thus far, De Caelo belongs, together
with Generation of Animals (2019), to the less often
rendered. This is the first complete English version since Guthrie
(1939), and its virtues are the same as those of previous volumes,
including the clarity of translation (here based on Paul Moraux’s
1965 Budé edition) and a thorough Introduction. In this case, the
introductory study is especially welcome, since explaining the
place of De Caelo in the corpus is no easy task. . . .
All things considered, De Caelo adds another building
block to Reeve's admirable Aristotelian edifice."
—Karel Thein, Charles University, Prague, in Bryn Mawr
