Customer Reviews
A Solid Introduction to a Difficult Subject - Rated Early on in this book Barnes points out what a mammoth task providing a short introduction to someone as prolific in output as Aristotle is going to be. It is estimated that his output easily reached fifty volumes of work, on subjects as diverse as the theatre to zoology. Even though only about a quarter of that survives, it is still a massive amount of work. This book therefore, really is an introduction. There are short, concise chapters that cover a great deal of the themes and ideas he introduced. The most time is spent discussing his work with animals and plants and his work on ethics, logic and philosophy. As with all these Very Short Introductions there are illustrations, but here it seems almost a shame, because the illustrations add little, and a few more pages of written material would have been much more helpful. As ever there are excellent bibliographies and further reading suggestions in the back which will give you places to go after this, depending on your interest. Given the complexity of the ideas discussed and the amount of material condensed this is an excellent book, although further reading will definitely be required.
