Aristotle: Understanding the World's Greatest Philosopher
by John Sellars
Aristotle: Understanding the World’s Greatest Philosopher is the latest book by John Sellars, a Reader in Philosophy at Royal Holloway, University of London, who excels at writing short books for a general audience on ancient philosophy. For those of us not yet brave enough to embark on the Nicomachean Ethics, this 144-page book (just under four hours as an audiobook) is a great way into one of the greatest philosophers of all time.
“John Sellars has written a short introduction to Aristotle. That’s a very nice book as well. It’s coming out in February.”
