The Great Philosophers: Aristotle Summary

The Great Philosophers: Aristotle by Kenneth Mcleish

'Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all' Aristotle

'Knowing yourself is the mark of all wisdom'

'You will never do anything in this world without courage'

Aristotle was one of the greatest philosophers that has ever lived. Taught by Plato, he was the first genuine scientist in history, a true pioneer of both science and philosophy. Widely credited as the inventor of the field of formal logic, his ideas have remained relevant throughout the world down through the centuries. Whilst little is known about his life, he tutored Alexander the Great and established a library in the Lyceum. The poet Dante called him 'the master of those who know'.

Kenneth Mcleish's short work is the perfect introduction to one of the most influential philosophers and scientists of all time.

The virtue of these deceptively brief books is that they are the real thing * EVENING STANDARD *
The books should improve the cultural circulation of philosophy by their style as well as their substance * TES *
A promising venture * THE TIMES *
Rarely have intellectual sophistication and complexity come so cheap * FINANCIAL TIMES *
If you want to acquire some first-hand experience of philosophy and democracy you would do well to read this welcome series * TIMES HIGHER EDUCATIONAL SUPPLEMENT *
