About this audiobook
While his teacher Plato looked to the heavens for truth, Aristotle pointed down to earth. He believed the blueprint for a good life wasn't hidden in an abstract realm, but was accessible to all of us, right here and now. But how do we find it?
Aristotle: A Beginner's Guide is your key to unlocking the powerful, practical, and profound system of the man who shaped Western thought. This is not a dense academic lecture; it's a clear and engaging guide for anyone seeking to build a better character, think more clearly, and live a more meaningful life.
