Logic, Virtue & the Unmoved Mover | Aristotle's Complete Philosophy to to Sleep to
What's covered: Logic and how thought works • Metaphysics and the nature of reality • Physics and the science that dominated for centuries • Biology and surprisingly accurate observations • The human mind and consciousness • Ethics, virtue, and the good life • Political philosophy and community • Rhetoric and the art of persuasion • Poetics and narrative theory • His massive historical influence • Where his system completely fails under modern scrutiny
This is intellectual history as it should be: rigorous analysis of what Aristotle got right, honest examination of what he got spectacularly wrong, scholarly debates that still rage today, and why his ideas matter (or don't) in the twenty-first century.
Perfect for anyone seriously interested in philosophy, intellectual history, or understanding the foundations of how we think about science, ethics, politics, and knowledge itself.
