About the Book: Aristotle for Everybody
Aristotle(384-322 B.C.) taught logic to Alexander the Great and, by virtue of
his philosophical works, to every philosopher since, from Marcus Aurelius, to
Thomas Aquinas, to Mortimer J. Adler. Now Adler instructs the world in
the"uncommon common sense" of Aristotelian logic, presenting Aristotles
understandings in a current, delightfully lucid way. He brings Aristotles work
to an everyday level. By encouraging readers to think philosophically, Adler
offers us a unique path to personal insights and understanding of intangibles,
such as the difference between wants and needs, the proper way to pursue
happiness, and the right plan for a good life.
