Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) was Plato's student, but revised his teacher's ideas to be more
consistent with ordinary experience. He thought human beings are one with the rest of nature, yet set
apart from it by their ability to reason. Aristotle systematized the laws of thought, gave a complete
account of nature and God, and developed an attractive view of the good life and the good society. He
also provided the first systematic expositions of physics, biology, psychology and the standards of
literature.

The Giants of Philosophy is a series of dramatic presentations, in understandable language, of the concerns,
questions, interests, and overall world view of history's greatest philosophers. Special emphasis on clear and
relevant explanations gives you a new arsenal of insights toward living a better life.
