through all that time? The Aristotle Adventure answers that question by providing a guide to the individuals who published, studied, explained, taught, and extended Aristotle's greatest achievement--logic, a tool for understanding this world. This reader-friendly account covers 2,000 years, 10,000 miles, and four cultures (Greek-Pagan, Greek-Christian, Arabic-Islamic, and Latin-Christian). The Aristotle Adventure is for: *General readers seeking a clearly written intellectual adventure. *Students of the history of ideas, philosophy, Western Civilization, or theology. *Scholars who want an overview of this wide-ranging story. The author explains each new philosophical concept as it appears in the story. (A combined index-glossary allows readers to easily review key concepts and individuals.) Secondary information, set into tables and charts, allows readers to focus on the main story in the main text, with little distraction. Extensive end-notes and bibliography open avenues to further reading.
