How Aristotle Invented Science

The Lagoon

A fascinating and unique look at Aristotle, his pioneering research into the biological world, and his influence on modern day science

Christopher McCaffery

I skipped a bunch of chapters in the middle of this book. Leroi has some amazing moments early on, and it's enjoyable to watch him wax poetical about just how much he loves Aristotle. But it's also clear that he doesn't really 'get' Aristotle, and constantly judges those doctrines of his with a properly metaphysical basis simply on the grounds of "we don't believe that sort of thing anymore". Disappointing by the end after a strong and promising beginning.
