Aristotle was known as the 'master of those who know'. A foundational thinker in every field of inquiry, he is unmatched even by his teacher Plato for his extraordinary range of mind. Introducing Aristotle guides the reader through an explosion of theories, from the establishment of systematic logic to the earliest rules of science. Aristotle not only composed the first theory of aesthetics, but also developed a rational psychology, a political science and an outline of sociology, giving us the virtue theory of ethics that is still debated today.
