Summary:
"In On
Aristotle
:
Saving
Politics
from
Philosophy
, Alan Ryan examines Plato's most famous student and sharpest critic, whose writing has helped shape over two millennia of Western
philosophy
, science, and religion. The first thinker to posit that a society should be ruled by laws and not men,
Aristotle
was born in Stagira, Macedon, in 384 BCE. He would go on to join Plato's Academy and eventually become tutor to Alexander the Great. During his lifetime he would see the revival of Athens following its destruction in the Peloponnesian War, before the ultimate extinction of its radical form of democracy after the Macedonian conquest. Aristotle’s strongly empirical cast of mind was brought to bear on a stunning range of subjects, from rhetoric to physics, from the history of political institutions and mathematics to zoology and botany. The resulting system dominated European thought from the thirteenth to seventeenth centuries."--From publisher.
