Aristotle - a philosopher for all time
A fascinating account of the life and times of the philosopher and scientist Aristotle; probably the most influential man who ever lived.

Fortunately some people followed his plans and his approach is still valid today. Incredibly industrious he was at the same time very human and likeable. Don’t miss out on Aristotle!
