Why has Aristotle had such an astounding influence on the world?
What are his key ideas? What can he still teach us today? The
Lyceum in Athens, now a ruin, has a claim to be the most
significant place in human history. It is the site of Aristotle's
school. Here the philosopher taught and discussed the answers to
the deepest mysteries of the human condition, and changed the way
we think. Today, it can be difficult to fully comprehend the
staggering influence of Aristotle's lessons. Yet his observations
about the world around him and his reflections on the nature of
knowledge laid the foundations for all empirical science. His study
of rational thought formed the basis of formal logic, the
cornerstone of philosophical investigation. His examination of
Greek city-states gave us political science, while his analysis of
drama remains a mainstay of literature courses around the world.
Acclaimed philosopher John Sellars takes us on a journey through
Aristotle's thought, vividly bringing to life his key ideas, and
demonstrating that the famous philosopher's capacity for curiosity
continues to offer us all a vision of more fulfilled lives. The
lessons of Aristotle, he shows, still have much to teach us today.
