For many years I intended to read this book. I wish I would have read it, studied it, 20 years ago. This current edition I have was just released, with Scholastic Saints’ and Patristic Saints’ commentary. I hope everyone will delve deeply into this book during their lives.

This book is so fun in a myriad of ways. There is the learning of history concerning the writings of Aristotle, fascinating and eye opening in its own right. But the study intrinsically shows the good use (or intention) of sound philosophy being used for leadership of empires and monasteries, kingdoms and cities.

This lecture series by Father Koterski is full of insight. I am both reading and listening to the Nicomachean ethics while going through this series, and it is just a complete joy!

Sergius of Rashaina, Hanayn Ibn Ashāq, the monastery of Qenneshre, Timothy I… the actual history Aristotelianism in the Islamic Arab world was absolutely thanks to, and through, the Syriac Christians, the historic Phoenicians. Mind blown. I have believed myths of the intellectual Muslims for too long.
