In 'Aristoteles' Zielkunde' presenteert Aristoteles zijn diepgaande inzichten over de ziel, een cruciaal concept in zijn filosofie dat fungeert als brug tussen de levenskracht en de materiële wereld. Door de ziel te definiëren als de essentie van leven, onderzoekt hij haar verschillende functies, variërend van vegetatieve tot zintuiglijke en intellectuele activiteiten. Het boek is geschreven in een heldere, analytische stijl, waarbij Aristoteles gebruikmaakt van een systematische aanpak die kenmerkend is voor de Griekse filosofie. De context van dit werk ligt in de ontwikkeling van de metafysica en de biologie, waarbij het perspectief van de Zielkunde een fundament legt voor latere discussies over bewustzijn en identiteit in de filosofie en de psychologie. Aristoteles, geboren in 384 v.Chr. in Stagira, was een leerling van Plato en later de leraar van Alexander de Grote. Zijn uitgebreide studies in diverse disciplines, waaronder ethiek, politiek, en natuurwetenschappen, vormden de basis voor zijn verkenning van de ziel. De Zielkunde is zowel een resultaat van zijn historische context als zijn persoonlijke zoektocht naar kennis. Aristoteles' unieke benadering, die elementen van empirisch onderzoek en logische redenering combineert, heeft bijgedragen aan zijn status als een van de meest invloedrijke denkers in de westerse traditie. Dit boek is zeer aanbevolen voor lezers die geïnteresseerd zijn in de fundamenten van de filosofie, psychologie en biologie. Aristoteles' inzichten blijven relevant en bieden een belangrijk raamwerk voor het begrijpen van menselijk gedrag en de relatie tussen lichaam en geest. Het is een must-read voor zowel studenten als geïnteresseerden in de diepere vragen van het bestaan, en het biedt vele waardevolle lessen die tot op heden toegepast worden in hedendaagse discussies.

In presenting this work to the army of candy makers of America, I give them the benefit of my twenty years’ experience. I make no great pretensions and deny that I am the only candy maker on earth, but think the fruit of my twenty years’ experience, expressed in this little volume, will be a benefit to any one who may have the fortune or misfortune to possess it.
The aim of the author is to present this work in plain common-sense language, so that the average candy maker can readily digest its contents. I modestly lay claim to having published in this volume the largest number of creditable recipes for making candy ever presented in a single work. Also, that it is positively the only candy book strictly up to date that can be of any service to the retailer.
In issuing this new and revised edition, I have indexed the recipes, added new ones, noted improvements in the way of handling old ones, and given a few hints on window decorations.
Since issuing the first edition of this book, in 1897, new ideas have been brought out and new varieties introduced; and it is the intention of the author to keep this work fully up to date.
Wishing my patrons unlimited success in the use of my book, I am,
Yours respectfully, W. O. Rigby.
Of all places, a candy shop should be a model of cleanliness. Make this a strict rule and always adhere to it.
Visitors often inspect your kitchen, and of course form opinions. These opinions cannot be creditable to any extent if your place is not neat and tidy. The opinions visitors form on such tours of inspection will do much to build up your trade or tear down your patronage, and make you a reputation. In my mind it is the most essential step toward a successful candymaking business.
Don’t be afraid that your helper will learn candymaking; a good helper—one that takes an interest in his work—will more than repay you for the trouble in teaching him, in the additional help you get out of him.
Success in any business is rarely ever obtained by any man who lacks sobriety. The candy maker is no exception to this rule, as all our formulas are carried in our heads, after we become proficient in the business, and a close-thinking brain is indispensable. Wages are decided by worth. If the man who preceded you in your present position received twelve or fifteen dollars a week, is that any reason you should receive the same amount? You may not be worth twelve dollars, and you may make yourself worth more. Strict attention to business, making your employer’s interests your own, working a little overtime if necessary, all increase your worth to your employer, and he will not be slow to recognize it in a substantial manner.
The oldest candy maker is not always the best candy maker, and is not always worth the greatest wages. The young man of ability, integrity, honesty and hustling qualities is the winner.
One thing I wish to impress upon the mind of every reader of this book; that is, too much attention cannot be given to your display window. I consider this one-half the store. A neat and tasty display will attract people to your window, and nine times out of ten they will see something to tempt their appetites.
Keep your window clean and well lighted; change the display in them every other day; keep neat, tasty signs on your goods; introduce new and novel features.
I will give you a few ideas on window decorations:
Cover the bottom of your window with clean paper; then empty a barrel of granulated sugar in the window; make a pile in center, and four small piles, one on each corner; place on the center pile three cakes of sweet or bitter chocolate. Now place on a white china plate a pile of chocolate creams, one for each corner pile, and now run a row of chocolate creams from each corner pile to the center pile. Then place a sign on this display as follows:

Dump a whole bag of raw Spanish shelled peanuts into the window. In the center place a large bowl of salted peanuts, place a nice silver scoop in the peanuts, and the following sign in front of the bowl:

Place a number of empty five-pound candy boxes tastily in your window. Take fancy colored cheese cloth, covering window boxes and all; puff it up, place a dish of bon bons daintily piled on each box, make a pile of your one-pound candy boxes at the back, bring to a pile in the center, and place a palm or other plant at each rear corner of the window.
The following sign will add to the display:

Cover and drape your entire window in violet colored cheese cloth; pin bunches of cheap cloth or paper violets in various places in the window; fill small fancy baskets with violet ribbon tied on handles, with crystalized violets, violet colored bon bons, violet tipped chocolates, or any candies of violet color.
