LUCID EXPLANATION OF THE ESSENSE OF ARISTOTLE,
By A Customer
This review is from: Aristotle in Outline (Paperback)
Excellent. Clearest explanation I've ever read. You can actually use Aristotle's concepts in your thinking. But it's mistitled. "Aristotle In Outline" suggests Cliff's Notes. A much better title would be "The Essense of Aristotle."

arresting aristotle,
By A Customer
This review is from: Aristotle in Outline (Hardcover)
It is rare to find a professional philosopher who writes as clearly, simply, and comprehensively as does Professor Timothy A. Robinson. Moreover, his intended audience will be delighted to have found this gem "of an outline."[By the way, this book has served a purpose that probably was not envisioned by Professor Robinson. It has formed the basis of my World Religions course - introductory unit. The class is made up of special education students, identified slow learner, learning disabled, gifted, as well as some general and advanced students. They don't know they are "doing Aristotle" and yet they are hooked. I cannot think of a better recommendation for this book.] The bibliographic essay is one of the best I have ever read. Hackett would do well to have Robinson sign on permanently with them.

Spectacular,
This review is from: Aristotle in Outline (Paperback)
I picked this book up about sixth months ago before diving into a serious and focused study of Aristotle. I knew barely anything about his philosophy beforehand, and after reading a number of Aristotle's works and some other scholarly works about his ideas, I know hardly more about them than I did after reading this book. Whether you're already familiar with Aristotle and want to see a fuller picture or are looking for an introduction, this book short book is all you need.
