Customer Reviews
Easy Ideas Made into Hard Truths
Aristotle propounds simple ways of thought so as to prove we know very little. Besides some mistaken concept about geometry, he is spot on in prioritizing learning and health for a good life.
I Have No Idea What I Just Read
Read old books they said, you’ll improve your knowledge base they said.
Tough read, very hard to correlate with reality as we see it now. Ends rather abruptly.
Explaining the Basics
Aristotle single establishes the basis of ethics and the workings of the world with insane detail and prevalence to modern day even though it was written 2000+ yrs ago.
