    About this audiobook

    Philosophy for busy people. Listen to this succinct account of the philosophy of Aristotle in just one hour.

    The philosophy of Aristotle dominated Western thought for over a thousand years. He had a mind that mastered all disciplines from mathematics to politics and had a continuing impact on every sphere of knowledge he touched. Above all, Aristotle is credited with the founding of logic. He divided human knowledge into separate categories, and enabled our understanding of the world to develop in a systematic fashion.

    This is an expert account of Aristotle’s life and philosophical ideas – entertainingly written and is above all easy listening. Also included are selections from Aristotle’s work, suggested further reading, and chronologies that place Aristotle in the context of the broader scheme of philosophy.

    • 5/5
      Very inspiring marrative. Quite short and straigjt to.the main points.
    • 1/5
      Very bad choice of an introduction. Too little about philosophy. Too much about the writer's speculations on ancient gossip and judgement towards Aristotle, Alexander and Macedonia in general.
    • 5/5
      Basics of Phylosophy, nice audio book, although not too complicated in itself, if you don't think further.
