#Aristotle

If you find philosophy boring I encourage you to read about Peter Abelard's steamy love affair and the tragic conclusion. It's pretty wild. #nonfiction #history #philosophy

Aristotle‘s Nicomachean Ethics was something I reread and cannot recommend highly enough.

Poetics | Aristotle

One of the earliest examples of literary and aesthetic theory. Short and accessible and lucidly translated by Anthony Kenny. This edition also has some supplementary material at the end, of which Dorothy Sayers' "Aristotle on Detective Fiction" is the most fun: "But what, in his heart of hearts, he desired was a good detective story" she says of Aristotle, and it's hard to disagree with her, reading his theories on plot and action and catharsis.

batsy This was my pick for last month's #TBRTarot (one word title) and finally got to it this month. Better late than never! 🙃 11mo

I really like the Very Short Introduction series, this one is about ancient Greek philosophy. I think it gives a good overview of the main themes and challenges of this field, as well as why ancient Greek philosophy is still relevant to modern readers. Would have liked a bit more discussion about cultural influences on the development of philosophy, but this book does have to be concise! Good intro book 🤔👍
7.5/10

This YA/coming of age/LGBT series-starter wasn‘t bad, but it didn‘t wow me (like it seems to for most people). Read my full review here https://debbybrauer.org/#aristotle-and-dante-discover-the-sec...

This is an impulse read for #WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers @StayCurious

keys_on_fire I always feel like I‘m missing something when a book that wins awards doesn‘t hit me the same way… 2y
JoyBlue @keys_on_fire Same! I have a friend who felt meh about the book, too, but for completely different reasons than I. It was interesting to chat with him about that. He made some excellent points. 2y

I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new - don‘t judge me I have a lot of books.
Join the fun if you want. This is day 228.
