Steven Cooke’s Reviews > The Cave and the Light: Plato Versus Aristotle, and the Struggle for the Soul of Western Civilization > Status Update

Some parts of the author's message get repetitive (Aristotle vs. Plato), but the details of the history of philosophical, religious, and scientific worldviews are very interesting - especially if you have heard of or studied some of the other "names" in other readings.

It is an interesting read, and possibly easier in observation to read the comparisons than to read through the original treatises. However, considering the other comments posted my experience so far would be to confirm that there is a lot of "loose play" and unfounded conjecture for many of the conclusions from the author. We know that some people's ideas (or actions) did have profound impact on subsequent history.
