Aristóteles não é exatamente um autor divertido de ler, embora seu estilo de colecionador de problemas e catalogador possa brilhar (como na sua Física). Agora, um livro sobre o grande iniciador da biblioteconomia, da lógica e da biologia, não precisa ser chato. E nem é uma questão de mimese estilística; seria possível fazê-la mas ainda assim dar relevo para coisas interessantes e não apenas curiosas (como as teorias sobre órgãos reprodutores do polvo e da cobra), mostrando o grande legado e influência de Aristóteles, e não o quanto estas teorias estariam ou não dois-milênio-datadas. Ademais, em vários momentos, ao invés de enfatizar as disputas hermenêuticas em volta dos textos do 'príncipe da filosofia', o autor nos apresenta 'a visão correta', ou seja, a que o autor apoia, o que deveria ser evitado, sempre que possível, em livros de caráter introdutório. ( ) Good overview of Aristotle's vast output, and lots of springboards for further reading. It gave me a deeper appreciation of Aristotle's valuable biological research, and also his creation of another scientific field, logic. Cross-referencing his political views with my current reading of Plato's Republic was also revealing, especially in that both flirt with totalitarianism. On the other hand, it confirmed my assumptions that Aristotle's very antiquated views on physics and metaphysics have nothing more than historical value. That said, this book made me want to revisit or read for the first time three areas of Aristotle's work: zoological research, Nicomachean Ethics and Poetics.

This book is just as it says "A very short introduction". A fantastic summary on Aristotle's life and his views in different sectors of knowledge and philosophy. If you already familiar with ancient philosophy then this is a must read, it is quick and easy and full of great information, it is not a book I would recommend if you are not already familiar with philosophy and are a beginner, but worth having in your collection for the time that you advance a little in your philosophic studies. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
