Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The book is written in a direct, lucid style which engages the reader with the themes in an active, participatory manner. It will prove a stimulating introduction for all students of Greek philosophy and for a wide range of others interested in Aristotle as a giant figure in Western intellectual history.

Review:

'\"As a general introduction to Aristotle for the intellectually curious, it will not be superseded for years to come. Professionals too will find much to excite and stimulate them; occasionally, too, they may find something to infuriate: but that is all to the good.\" R.J. Hankinson, ISIS'

Synopsis:

Professor Lear introduces Aristotle"s philosophy and guides us through the central Aristotelian texts.
