    About this ebook

    "Introducing Aristotle" guides the reader through an explosion of theories, from the establishment of systematic logic to the earliest rules of science. Aristotle's authority extended beyond his own lifetime to influence fundamentally Islamic philosophy and medieval scholasticism. For fifteen centuries, he remained the paradigm of knowledge itself. But can Aristotelian realism still be used to underpin our conception of the world today?

      Creative and fast overview that still conveys some of the deeper concepts and the impact on later schools of thought. I find this series very effective relative to many of the other approaches to survey.
