Aristotle In Outline

by Timothy A. Robinson

"Clearly written and provides students, bewildered by a first confrontation with Aristotle, with a key that will open the door to many of the chief ideas of the philosopher. I would also recommend it as a refreshing read to the more advanced philosopher. . . . just what the professor ordered (or can order) as the supplement to reading the original text in a course, especially an undergraduate one." --Joseph A. Novak, University of Waterloo

Summary
Robinson provides clear and engaging overview of Aristotle’s entire system of thought. Extremely beneficial for anybody just getting into Aristotle and/or philosophy since it provides a very broad but concise overview of his different schools of thought

What I got out of it
1. Great read for people just getting into philosophy and/or Aristotle and wanting to get a broad understanding of his thinking. Of course it is incomplete but its purpose is well-served as you get to see Aristotle’s main points in wisdom/science, ethics and politics
2. Philosophy = the love of wisdom. For Aristotle, love = desire, wisdom = intuition and scientific knowledge of the most valuable things

Definitely beneficial for those who have yet to pick up Aristotle’s own writings and don’t know where is best to start. Read it cover to cover and you’ll have a general and yet detailed understanding of the body of his works.
