As Sellars says in this delightful little book, we should all aspire to know at least something about Aristotle's ideas and how they have shaped the way we think. I know he lived over two thousand years ago, but given just how much the greatest philosopher in history has influenced almost every aspect of human thought to this day, I fully agree. And this book does that job admirably. -- Jim Al-Khalili Everyone should desire to know about Aristotle because his philosophy is a crucial foundation for ethics, science, logic, politics and aesthetics in the western tradition. This short book is a brilliantly clear introduction to the whole range of his thought. -- Robert Eaglestone, author of Truth and Wonder: a Literary Introduction to Plato and Aristotle
